I find this incredibly weak. I would, of course, not like to see Texas go, since it's got some great industries, and is one of the only states in the region that actually contributes more to the federal government than it takes. On the other hand, without their influence on national text books, maybe we could nip this creationism problem in the bud.

At least 17 other states have similar petitions to the Texas secession request on the We the People forum including New Jersey, New York, Montana, Colorado, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Oregon and Michigan. The closest behind Texas was Louisiana with 15,617 signatures.

The South shall rise again.....and this time, we'll take some of the Northern states with us!!

I'm kidding.

Better be making one of these.

yeah...i saw this, but i thought it was a joke. good for them? i think all the states should be loosely affiliated independent countries. the smaller the government, the easier it is to control.

It cracks me up every time I see another "Texas is gonna secede" story. You're telling me that heavy weight business/industry leaders want that kind of headache? Its sad that even a porous online petition can only get like what .001% of the population of Texas to sign on for something that Perry obliquely asks for.

What I don't understand about the whole deal about seceding is that wouldn't Texas's influence decrease? My history might be shaky but I also believe that Texas is the only state that can leave if it wants, kinda no harm no foul style.

It's nothing more than an indicator.

People say that but I don't think it's true... At least the no harm no foul part...

It wont go any where but it does show people are about done with this nonsense thats going on. If anything if was the required next step for the people to fix the problem where our government failed.

What can we say... We're tired of the political bullshit.

If the other states had balls even 1/8 the size of ours, they'd secede too.

This won't go anywhere.
