Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States...
White House Petitions ^ | 11-07-12 | Michael E, Slidell LA

Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government. As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."

Every State shall abide by the determination of the United States in Congress assembled, on all questions which by this confederation are submitted to them. And the Articles of this Confederation shall be inviolably observed by every State, and the Union shall be perpetual; nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be made in any of them; unless such alteration be agreed to in a Congress of the United States, and be afterwards confirmed by the legislatures of every State.

What is the Constitution?

You miss the history and the point that the Judge is talking about.

I commented on other posts that succession would be squashed by force and wouldn’t be possible.
I’d like to recant those comments.

I now believe it would be very possible with the inclusion of several states to remove itself from the union and form a new nation.

The new nation would have to set up diplomatic relations with the united states. New trade commerce. Tariffs . And ways to travel for instance if Ohio and Texas succeeded how would you travel within the new nation.
The declaration of independence gives the states the right to succeed.

Long term plans would be for a peaceful existence with the united states. Of course the succession would not be peaceful . Done through laws and simultaneously with participating states would help prevention of violent actions.

Read a good article online. Written by a Yankee , like myself.

“how can it be part of no government? It needs some kind of government.”

Louisiana already has a state government with a governor, legislature, judiciary and all that goes with it. Withdrawing would necessitate some changes to that government, but I don’t see why withdrawal in and of itself would require a new government.

This was the UN plan years ago, divide and conquer, it is still their plan despite the socialist control of our country. I do re-call forty or so years ago a controversey about a cereal box, I believe one of General Mills, with a map of The United States broken down into six or seven new countries and a UN logo with it. I never personally saw the box but did see what was purported to be photos of it. Does anyone else remember or know anything about this?

If Texas and Louisiana want to secede, maybe more of the southern states will, as well. I don’t think the government will want to let Texas go because of the oil industry. If the southern states want to secede, the media will paint them as racists.

I agree 100%!! The media is saying that Obama won by a significant margin—he only got 50.5% of the popular vote. They are so full of it!! But, they keep repeating stuff like this, and soon, all the sheep believe it.

I love your idea!!! Let’s all take our money out of the bank and go home and relax. Let the deadbeats go to work for a change. Don’t forget about your 401K—remember when Obama said he wanted the government to take over the 401K’s?

What do we live on without paychecks? A run on banks would cause a great deal of suffering to the people more than the government.

You talk in ad hominem attacks just like a lying Liberal with moronic insults. Leave our states alone and emigrate if you don’t have the will and the wisdom to defeend the Republic and the Constitution.

You are a straight up moron and I’m tired of pretending like everyone on FR has a brain. Go read a few books and check back later.
