What would they think if Obama supporters were to take that stance if Romney would have been elected. Just because you are not in favor of the person elected doesnt mean you get to bail. That means they were never committed to the US in the first place....if they dont get their way, they dont want to play anymore....CHILDISH!

Oh, and by the way, as for your comment about non-commitment. These petitioners represent those who still believe that our fore fathers got it right with the constitution. So you may want to try to differentiate between personal desires / instant gratification, and commitment. One is selfish and the other requires some sacrifice.

Thank you Lloyd! Amen!

If these states want to leave the Union, please allow them to do so. They can start a fresh government, without any assistance or aid from the government as it is now. They should have to re-establish themselves by way of taxes, laws, rules, etc. Create their own constitution, receive no federal money to establish what they want. It is America, it is their choice. If they change their minds and want to come back to the Union, they should have to apply for citizenship, like any other immigrant to the "United States"..... or do they think they should be the ones to remain under the covenant of the United States?

How those of us in other states feel:

AMEN. Lloyd
Thank You

Lloyd you are so right. The comment on our forefathers. Its been working for many decades. It has gotten worse with anmendments and changes. Have to admit secession is a sad and very scary thought to me. United we stand, decided we fall. Even a scarier thought today is our government and our economy. Need I say they go hand in hand

To the "thing" called Don’t really care. I signed the petition mainly because I'm tired of the federal government taxing my business to provide parasites like you with free stuff...like obama phones. I encourage people to purchase the Bonnie Blue Flag and display it everywhere. It was the original flag for succession in the mid 1800s.

A bunch of racist clowns. Don't secede - LEAVE! I'm sure Canada, Germany or even Holland will take you. Wait - They all have similar policies, so maybe not! Try Afghanistan!

It never ceases to amaze me how extreme some people can be. The majority ruled, and Obama won the popular vote and the electoral college. People need to get over it. This is like when children play a game, and one wants to quit because they aren't winning. It's just ridiculous. To the people who want a secession from the U.S., how do you propose we defend ourselves? We don't have our own state militia. The people who came up with this idea are silly, and it's evident that they lack any sort of higher education. I've heard some extremist say, " if Obama wins, it's the going to be the end of America." I think a secession is more counterintuitive to American society than who was elected as our President.

Right wing Kooks are everywhere - first the teabaggers now this. Honestly, they can have this state because our legislature has been rated as the most corrupt in the country so the sky is the limit as their own country.

Hope they realize they probably just threw away security clearances and any job that has a contract with a Government Agency. A joke is funny until it isn't.

Romney whould have supported the freedoms the constitution was supposed to gaurantee, so that is a non-issue. I am for sucession. I would like to live somewhere that gives the freedom the consitution promised. Those who are ok with giving up their freedom to dependency don't have to succeed and have no reason to be threatened. I am self reliant and do not expect anything from the government.

There's a keyword Dave, NATIONAL Guard; it isn't the Georgia Guard. I would entrust a monkey with a bouncy ball with my life more than I would my county policemen. They are required minimal training/education and most are in horrible physical condition. It's a good thing we have low crime rates in my county because our police force is a joke. Also, the Republican Party has had their fair share of scandals as well. Does Watergate ring a bell? How about McCarthyism?

To all the democratic, uneducated people who voted for Obama: we who did not vote for Obama are NOT racists! We know what this Socialist Muslim is really about! He is slowly taking over our rights as Americans. These are rights that our men died for in the first civil war- rights guaranteed by the Constitution! He wants to have a One World Order, combining Canada, Mexico and the US as one country and abolish the constitution! WAKE UP YOU LIBERALS! Our government was not established to take care of us and give us all handouts! Look on Youtube under American concentration camps and see what this guy is really about! If you want to have no rights and have the government tell you what you can and CAN'T do, then bury your head in the sand and just let Obama keep going down this path. He will change our country and curtail our freedom and we will NOT be the all powerful nation we have been. Do your research on this man. He is NOT what he portrays himself to be. He is a figurehead for a bigger Socialist movement. WE ARE A DEMOCRACY! Our founding fathers are screaming in their graves righy now. If you can't see what is coming, go live in Europe and leave our FREE country to us! It's not about his color!!!

"He is slowly taking over our rights as Americans." I'm new to politics - Please educate me, what rights have been taken away?

Rebecca... Get help.

it is OUR constitutional rights TO live the USA i like being free

No, Please. Don't go.
