Guys this is really important.

CBS just posted an article saying that 20 states have petitioned to secede from the American union now that Obama is president again.This means, that if they reach 25,000 signatures in 30 days, the petition can be reviewed by the government administration.

The states that have petitioned to secede are as the following: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

Texas already has over 22,000 signatures and if they have enough support they could very well be removed from the United States. 

This is very important guys, please signal boost this, tell your parents. This effects the entire country and everyone needs to know.

i am shocked by the utter stupidity of this. might as well keep the tags.

it can be reviewed yeah, but new york and new jersey, secede? AHAHAHA

I guess I am just not all that shocked by this because this kind of thing has been going on for years now. The League of the South (considered by the Southern Poverty Law Center to be a hate group) has been pushing for this for at least a decade.

Note to all of the above: these are NOT being filed by the actual states.

All the petitions at the website are put forth by citizens. Not state governments. 

These are in no shape or form related to actual state governments.

Ditto what Cheese said.

In addition to the fact that these petitions are started by private individuals, not the governing bodies of the states in question, a good number of the signatures on each petition are from people who don’t even live in that state.
