Quoted Text
Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government. As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."

Um... We need a Voter ID for your petitions. Just ask the Republicans... how else will we know if there are actually 14K more or if the same guy voted 14,000 times. |

New York State has over 7000 signatures. Most of the people that signed don't appear to be from NY.
I guess they want to kick us out. |

I bet that most people who have or would sign that petition would have absolutely no problem showing their i.d. -- you see decent, law abiding Americans have nothing to hide or worry about -- the only people who worry about showing their i.d. are the illegal aliens, fraudulent voters and neo-liberal thugs. |

Good, leave you freeloaders! We could use the extra money. Louisiana would be a third world country within a year. |

Right Tommy. The GOP Is The Food Stamp PartyThe 10 highest tax-producing states have all been “blue states” over the last few presidential elections. Of the 10 lowest, eight are “red.” Even within states, Democratic-leaning counties tend to consume fewer services for the tax money they contribute than red counties do—even though Democratic areas generally include large urban populations. The majority of Americans who use food stamps are white, and they increasingly live in Republican areas.Bloomberg recently compiled U.S. Department of Agriculture data and found that: “70 percent of counties with the fastest growth in food-stamp aid during the last four years voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2008.”Democratic voters are increasingly supporting Republican voters. “By nearly every measure, people who live in the blue states are healthier, wealthier, and generally better off than people in the red states,” according to The New Republic. Republican states not only benefit most from government support, their policies create the need for food stamps in the first place The National Memo http://www.nationalmemo.com/the-gop-is-the-food-stamp-party/ |

The Blue States Leave the USA!!!
Dear Red States;
We're ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we've decided we're leaving. We Yankees intend to form our own country and we're taking the other Blue States with us.In case you aren't aware that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the rest of the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A).
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal, Todd Akin and as a bonus Rick Perry. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ol' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share. We get Broadway and Yosemite, You get Graceland and the Bayou Country. Thank you!
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.
With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.
In the Red States, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% think that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you upstanding individuals believe you are people with higher morals then us Yanks. So, see ya' later Johnny Rebs and don't forget what happened last time.
Sincerely,
Citizen of the Enlightened States of America

Glen Beck was talking about the Texas petition. It was 25,000 yesterday and was 60,000 when his show aired this morning.
It is now approaching 80,000.
Glen Beck said adding your name to the Whitehouse website petition marks you as a traitor.
There are currently over 80 active petitions taking signatures. A dozen are various other states requesting succession. |

For a mere 320 billion dollars you can be your own country. 320 billion is one fiftieth of the national debt. Plus we will be removing all US military bases and equipment. Along with all federal border patrol operations. Good luck, Texans. |
