[Seizure]

I do not know whether these separtist groups have been under the radar, existing for a period of time, or whether more of these groups are being established to express disappointment and frustration with the government.

We'll keep the land that Americans died protecting and preserving, but the VT liberals are free to secede...

[Blueflag]

I think we will find that as long as they are 'opposed to Bush' they will be listened to, reported on, and encouraged.

If they happen to support property and gun rights, limited Federal government and 'freedom', they'll be vilified and condemned as wackos.

It's probably not the desire to secede, it's the agenda behind it that's interesting to the press.

[grobdriver]

we certainly have a right to disband from it

Sorry, y'all. Only Texas can legally do that.

[GrandEagle]

VT liberals
If memory serves me correct, they got a bit disturbed when we tried that.

Cordially,
GE

[liberateUS]

As we say in South Carolina, "If at first you don't secede, try, try again!"

[B.O. Plenty]

Revisit this:It's Time to Part Company

[sandbar]

Yeah, tell that to the Confederacy. Seems they got whomped for that.

[Savage Beast]

Hey, Canada, we'll swap you the Leftist U.S. states for the Western Provinces! How 'bout it???

[theDentist]

Does this mean that Bernie Sanders and Jumpin' Jim would be kicked out of the Senate as well?

[ConorMacNessa]

Don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out!

[Protagoras]

If they had any balls they would actually secede, not declare it or talk about it.

It could be simply done by people with courage.

Just ignore the Feds on every issue. Non-violently. No sending tax in. No receiving federal funds. No enforcement of federal regulations. No cooperation with the feds.

If they want the stuff done, let 'em do it. If they tell you you must do something as an elected official, resign.

Simply go your own way and let them put the manpower in there to do all their own bidding.

Maybe we ought to try it for a grace period, say, 2008. We take all the NE liberal states, Illinois, California (or at least parts like San Francisco) and tell them that they can succeed for a trail grace period in 2008. During this time they cannot receive any Federal money (but they must continue to pay taxes), they cannot vote, cannot send reps or Senators to Congress...etc... Then after 2008, we revoke the grace period and deny the succession. Republicans win by a landslide in 2008.

Works for me!
