Seceding from the Union?

In the last 48hours or so there have been 15 petitions from individuals from 15 different states,  to allow those states to Secede from the Union.   Well that's great folks but understand this...THAT is just blowing off steam, so I won't sign. If you're SERIOUS,  start a petition WITHIN the State, and get it signed by banging on doors, or you can do an electronic one and pass around the link to it via facebook, twitter, various blogs etc..   You have to petition the STATE Legislature to vote to pass Articles of Secession and get it signed by the Governor, which is THEN passed onto the feds announcing the right and intention of the state and it's citizens to secede from the union.   If that is not done...then all you're doing is talking to hear yourself talk.

That being said..yeah if one is started here in the Great State of Texas to Secede from the Union and become an independent Republic again? Hell yeah the Wolf will sign it. 

Understand something though...if Texas and other states go this route it's going to get UGLY.   The Federal Government is NOT going to give up power, control and access to the money our taxes provide, so easily.  Neither are the people who on welfare. We the people of those states are going to have to figure out what to do about people like my younger sister, who due to her mental illnesses can't hold down a job...hell she can't function in society for more than a few hours and that's generally only if one of the family members is with her. So we need to figure out how to best help people like my sister and my family in that regard.  We also need to get the people who are just popping out babies for the free monies off the damn dole.  Soo many issues to deal with folks. 

Just remember...if many of the states secede from the union in the name of freedom?  Just like some of those posters and image memes you'll see floating around facebook and elsewhere today say.."freedom ain't free" and there WILL be a cost involved. Whether that means just financial hardship or open civil war because the FEDS don't want to let those states go...it would be a hard row to hoe. So make sure you understand that fully.

Edit 850pm 11/11/2012: meant to post this earlier in the day but there's a petition to put secession before the state legislature.

Oh and the wolf is a canine of his word...I signed it.
