Nov 2012

site there are over 20 secession petitions including New York, Illinois, California, Ohio, Virginia. These are silly and shallow people who have no conception of what seceding means or would do. Somehow they think money will still be the U.S. dollar; that they will get their benefits but not have to pay for them, etc.
We live in Texas but we are Americans first and have no desire to NOT be part of the country of our birth. Further, Texas has a population of over 25 million and that 25,000 is probably the total number who want to secede. I see a problem of numbers with that so please don't paint Texas as the only state with weirdos with small brains all states have them and they are not afraid to show their stupidity.
