Petitions signed by hundreds of thousands of Americans seeking permission for their states to peacefully secede from the union have now been filed for all 50 states on the White House website.

The secession petition push began last week on the site's We The People section after a Slidell, La., man filed a petition on Nov. 7 to allow Louisiana to secede. Residents from other states followed suit.

As of Wednesday afternoon, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas—all states that voted for former Gov. Mitt Romney—as well as Florida each had accumulated more than 25,000 signatures, the threshold needed to trigger an official response from the Obama administration. Collectively, the secession petitions now have more than 700,000 digital signatures.

Texas is in the lead with more than 99,000, but Gov. Rick Perry said on Tuesday that he does not support secession.

"Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it," a statement from the governor's office read. "But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government."

Meanwhile, residents of Austin, Texas' stubbornly liberal stronghold, have petitioned the White House to allow the city to "withdraw from the state of Texas [and] remain part of the United States."

Of course, the petitions are little more than symbolic—and nothing new. Similar petitions were filed after the 2004 and 2008 elections. And at least one petition filed on the site asks that the president sign an executive order to strip U.S. citizenship from anyone who signed a petition to secede and requests that they are "peacefully deported."

Secession, though, is not the only thing people are petitioning the White House for. Included among the 140 petitions currently displayed on the site: two seeking federal legalization of marijuana, one asking for the halt of U.S. drone strikes and one demanding a recount of the election.

This is going exactly nowhere.

It still helps give congressmen courage when fighting Obama.

Ahhhh...but it demostrates to the sane public what a gaggle of 'nutz' we still have to contend with.

The Obama domino theory

The domino theory. Once Texas goes it takes Lousiana, NM, AZ, Utah, Idaho, Montana, ND, SD, Wis, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, WV, etc...

West coast ports, either Portland or San Diego. East coast South Carolina is most likely. Isn't that where the war of Northern Aggression started, Fort Sumter, SC?

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

You know this whole secession petition drive is a honey pot, right? The regime needs to make a list of potential terrorists who sign. That and any idiot who thinks asking mother may I for freedom from the very criminals and thugs from whom one wishes to separate is a pin head. This country is dying from ignorance and cupidity.

war has to do something for entertainment; the voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.

Many of our founding fathers did just that. There were many attempts to petition king George. It's entirely reasonable to try peaceful means first.

Sign it large so they don't get eyestrain reading it!

The only problem with most of the western states is that the only portions that will be allowed to secede will be those parts that are not government lands, which also includes the military installations, US Forests and Parks, BLM lands, etc etc. And what about the indian reservations?

LOLOL And Mexico will be having a field day invading them.

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
