nobody believes there is a so-called right to secession,

The only rights you have are the ones you are willing to fight for.

[Venturer]

Amen Brother.

No State will be allowed to Secede without they are willing to fight.
It doesn’t matter about the right today any more than it mattered in the First Civil War.

If States want to Secede they better be ready to fight.

If they aren’t they may as well sit back and wait for the United States to fall apart, then take action.

[ClearCase_guy]

The power to secede is not discussed in the Constitution. But all powers not discussed in the Constitution are reserved to the states or to the people. As you indicate -- the power and right is there for the taking, but we'll have to fight for it.

I'm in MA, so I'm doomed.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments of the succesionist petitioners, I also realize these petitions are totally symbollic & will not garner serious consideration from the leftist government. But there is something these petitioners can do that WILL strike fear into the hearts of the socialist left.
Never have I seen such widespread & blatant voter fraud. Have we become so weak, such sheep that we accept our own demise so meekly? I call upon you, beg of you, to make know that this will not be allowed in this great country. A country that has stood as a shining beacon of hope to people everywhere. Do something that will make a difference. We must challange this malfeasance. If you must petition then petition for investigations, for recounts. If as many people & states do this as have signed the succession petition THAT is something even they can’t ignore.
