If these misguided souls wish to change things, there are other ways.

Name one that will work. We're all listening.

Just for the record, it is not my job to point out to them how to make their agenda work. As a Christian my main job is to "fear God and keep His commandments". I don't think overthrowing the government (secession is the overthrow of the federal government within a particular state, is it not ?) falls into either of those categories. There are legal means to get things done. Just because they are failing doesn't mean there's something wrong with the system. Maybe they're just not organized enough. Is that the governments fault ?

But just for the record, and since you presumed to be speaking for everyone when you so wittily said "we're all listening", how about trying to live out the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5ff). Seems to me that would be a good start. Or is this just all about somebody trying to advance their personal agenda ? Some sort of Christian Jihad masked as a "Christian Exodus" (so-called) ?? We all are frustrated about the state of the world, but that doesn't give us the right to pick a state to make into our own personal little closet to separate ourselves from the evil neighbors. Christ expects us to live among these people and allow His reflection in our lives convert them. Becoming like Muslims or some Cult is not the answer.
