There may be secessionists in all 50 states, but Texas can boast of the biggest cohort of independent-minded (unhinged?) folks who want to cast off the "tyranny" of the federal government and go it alone.
Well over 100,000 Texans have signed a petition to the president of the United States requesting that he let the Lone Star State depart from the Union peacefully and amicably. The last time Texas and 10 other states tried this, of course, a rather nasty fight ensued –- the 150th anniversary of which the nation is observing right now.

Just imagine how happy conservatives and liberals (becoming leftists) would be if several states seceded. There would then be an ability to live in place that was aligned with your values.
The Red states would return to fiscal responsibility and resemble the America we grew up in and the Blue states will evolve into Europe.
It just might be the start of someting big!
If Barack Obama abused his authority and broken the constitution the house could call for impeachment hearings.
Couple of interesting side notes the thirteen states that all signed the peace treaty with likely because The Articles of Confederation established the colonies as seperate sovereign states held together by a common currency for defense and a weak congress; the other side not Texas is one of only two state state's in the Union that has ever functioned as an independent nation (despite this they were voluntarily annexed by the U.S. rather than be militarily annexed by Mexico.)
We could then give the place back to the rightful owners. They then could live in Mexico and just rot away ! Never met anyone from Texas that I liked. They sure are ass's ! Let them go, please
The corporatists have already taken over our health care system. The Great American Healthcare Ripoff has increased healthcare costs at a rate faster than that of the cost of living and of wage growth in this country for the past 3 decades. That's before Obama care. So what would you do without Obama care when you finally could no longer afford it yourself ? Answer: Start whining about how the government has done nothing to help you keep it. You'd be the first one whining FOR Obama care.
When there are no Doctors to take care of you. Just keep drinking the kool aid and believe in Obama policies I'm sure you will be happy!
