http://www.lewrockwell.com/anderson/anderson29.html this is a guy who wants California to secede from the Union.

http://www.vermontrepublic.org/ this is a group who wants Vermont to leave.

I'll sponsor a group to provide for the secession of the District of Columbia. Who's with me?

LOL does that mean we'd be rid of the elephant and donkey riding clowns there? I'd sign it if thats the case.

Secession of the northeastern states is old news. Massachusetts has thought about seceding from the union since before the Civil War. Western Massachusetts has repeatedly brought up the idea of splitting off from the eastern half. Maine periodically brings it up, until somebody reminds them that you can't have a country with three people in it. Then they bring up the idea of seceding with Massachusetts, which gets New Hampshire talking again (by that time of year, Massachusetts has already moved on to another topic).

I'm with the guys who want western Massachusetts to form its own state. I'm not so sure about seceding from the union... unless the whole of the northeast were to do it en masse. Even then... I'm more thinking it'd be 'cool' in the teenager-ish sense of the word, which I'm not so certain is a good reason to form one's own country.

I live across the Great Big Lake from Vermont, and we've been hearing about this seccession group for quite some time. No one takes them that seriously. The one state that takes the idea most seriously (and that's speaking relatively, of course) is New Hampshire. Those guys really do things differently.

I could see it happening if you got all of the New England states together, and if New York decided to join in...which would never happen because of New York City. The way NYC goes is the way Albany goes.

In my opinion Federal Taxes are completely out of control. Bush brought us some small relief, but that will go away as soon as a democrat gets elected. It doesn't surprise me at all that states want to secede.

Texas talks about seceding from the Union as well from time to time. California might even be able to pull it off. If we weren't part of the United States we'd have the 7th largest economy in the world.

How do you think we'd pull it off? Wouldn't the Union decide to send in the military to keep us in line?

LOL, yes. What I meant was California is big enough and rich enough to be self-sustaining as an independent country. Actually winning independence is another sack of cats.

Can someone tell me how this is a good idea in ANY WAY!?

As far as I am concern...I like the USA the way it is. Anyone who says otherwise is a communist.

Communist. 🙂

Oh come on, it can't be too communistic. Unless the seceding state decides to become a socialistic/communistic society, but to be honest with socialism starting to take hold in the government as a whole, it might, MIGHT mind you, become a communistic society one day all by itself.

So if Cali DID separate from the US, would the illegals living in Cali go to other American states?

Is Cali just like a prep, it thinks it is too good for the rest of us ?

Gyod if all this crap happened, I would love to see what stupid shit Indiana would come up with. Anyone who has lived in IN knows what a retarded place it is...

Never been their, but my sister was born either in it, or near it. Can't remember which.
