This is funny: http://www.dailypaul.com/262715/15-states-start-petitions-to-secede-from-the-us
This is one of the positives of not voting for Romney that I was thinking about when I did not vote for him.
I’m pretty sure that our professors here would tell us that there is no need for permission to secede. But, at the minimum I think this is at least entertaining. I live in AZ. There is not yet one submitted for AZ, or for a most states. I read the one from Texas and it was pretty simple, which has some benefits. I was thinking it would be funny if someone drafted one for the remaining states that looked a lot like the Declaration of Independence, but with similar but modern grievances. Maybe it could be a group project here. Not sure if I have the cajones to submit the result for AZ with my John Hancock, but that inspires a good question: how much wine had the founders consumed when they signed and sent off the Declaration?
