Of course, I don't realistically think that Texas will actually secede, but I had to laugh when I saw that this petition has started and I'm curious to see how many people sign it. Just imagine if Texas did become its own country and conservatives could find refuge there. One of the things I find so frustrating is that there is literally NOWHERE in the world that offers freedom from Big Government anymore. I don't want to live in a theocracy. I don't want to live in a nanny state. I want to live somewhere that people can be free to live as they please and just leave be left alone. Liberals have always had the option of immigrating to Canada or Europe if they crave big government (even though, of course, a lot of the ones who threatened to leave when Bush won never did follow through - they *could* have left if it was really that bad here under Bush). There isn't anywhere for conservatives to go if we don't like the way this country is going.

I really think that both sides would be happier if conservatives did have a place to go where we could be left alone and could simply stay out of liberals' attempts at social engineering through big government. Let them create their big govt programs AND pay the bill for them.

I’d be willing to burn my California house to the ground and drive to Texas for good of they secede.

Louisiana has done this as well. You can find their petition on the same website.

I am more concerned about my signature and personal info on a petition posted at the whitehut.gov site being forwarded to the new Dept. of Revenge

Someone at Vox Day posted this idea for a California proposition.

Article 1. The Constitution of the State of California, and all the Laws of of the State of California, are hereby repealed; except that Proposition 13 is retained.

Article 2. The Constitution of the State of Texas, is hereby adopted as the Constitution of California, and the Laws of the State of Texas are adopted as the Laws of California.
