This is interesting--- Evidently its not just a New Jersey thing either!
Petition started seeking approval for N.J. to secede from union | NJ.com
It is a first?
(I mean, since 1860.... though it wasn't a petition then, lol)

it will have to get much worse for something like that to actually have any legs.

they should be working on trying to limit the power of the cities to impact elections. maybe some kind of test of american history and basic knowledge and literacy to vote.

It's an internet petition. The one from NY was apparently started by someone claiming to be from ND. Pretty much all of them are a copy + paste job as far as the actual petition goes.

Pretty much irrelevant. There used to be a petition to have the White House release its beer recipe.

Right, should we secede before or after we ask for and accept FEMA money? I think it's a joke, personally, like those e-mail warnings that go around telling you chicken wings cause cancer: "Let's see how many people we can get to forward nonsense?"

oh, how would we survice without all that fema money? the federal government is a 500 pound gorilla on the backs of working americans. but they give you a little money that people think they cant live without (while they are taking and taking from your check).

What we need is a petition for Washington D.C. to secede from the union.

I believe it would be much harder for NJ to leave the nation considering that they are a blue state.
