Petitions

 
Americans are becoming more polarized with each successive election. Something is happening now with Obama having been elected for a second term. Some folks are wanting out.
 
It is interesting that the Obama administration has promised to grant a "generous review of online proposals" to petitions that attract more than 25,000 names.
As of yesterday, Texas has 116,070 individuals who have pledged allegiance to the idea of leaving the USA and going it alone. Texas maintains a balance budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world! How better to preserve their standard of living and secure their rights as citizens?
 
Similar petitions (69 at last count) were filed in the last few days across the nation, indeed in every state. The most enthusiastic are Louisiana 36,738 ...... Florida 34,468 ..... Georgia 31,799.  Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama all posted more than 30,000 names. So far.
 
It reminds me of our own Quebec and Alberta. Occasional flare-ups  of heat, but to this date, no light.
