I signed the Georgia petition, not because I do not Love America but because I believe we are headed down a bad road and it is time to turn around and go the other way.

That's the most uneducated ignorant thing i have ever read. If you dont like it get the hell out. Good grief! No one forces you to live here. There's several other countries that will welcome your racist ass to live there.

The most uneducated thing I have ever read is Angela calling Steve a racist. Just because we don't support Obama does not mean we hate all black people.

We tried the other way it almost went off a cliff and is just starting to get back on track, but I do believe that racism is partially to blame for these petitions.

Getting back on track? Are you kidding me?

The left's answer to ALL criticism is to play the racist card! Apparently, you are incapable of recognizing that some people actually believe the POLICIES of the current administration are destroying the country that we love!

So very sad.

I signed the petition. I am not a Racist!!. I voted for Clinton Twice! The Federal govt is enslaving the people with more and more taxes and Govt programs and govt regulations are oppressive. A decentralized Federation of States would be more democratic and closer to the people. We are a divided Nation let us Seceed!

By agreeing with this petition we are not racists. I hate the fact that people have to use the race card whenever somebody doesn't agree with they're opinion. All we are doing is expressing our disagreement with the results of the recent election. WE THE PEOPLE have the right to express our opinions just as do the people that reelected the president. Here is something for you to think about, If all the states that want to secede actually were to secede and form another country,then you wouldn't have to worry about us being a "Racist" and messing up the next election.

Where can I sign?

"RACIST!!!" Just because an individual does not agree with the way our country is being ran, running straight towards socialism, does not make that individual a racist! I agree with Aceshigh2012...I'm so sick and tired of people using the race card just because somebody does not agree with them....I do not agree with the way our country is being governed...and that goes beyond the President!!

If you don't like the outcome of an election, you don't solve the problem with secession. You have the right to work through the system and if you don't win, you try again NOT walk away.

I agree with Marion. If you read a history book, you will see the result of this action in 1865. As it goes when people start this type of action, there is no plan as to what they would do instead. I think this falls under the heading of "poor losers":Grow up!.
Maybe, as someone else suggested, you should go live in a country where you don't have an option.

It is interesting that we Americans applauded the secession of all of the republics of the former Soviet Union, as well as other countries that have formed since the end of the cold war, but somehow, this is something to be jeered at here in the U.S.

Our country was formed with just such an option contemplated by our founding fathers. This is not the result only of the latest election, but the path that the country has been on for the past 60 to 70 years. Many believe that the accelerated speed at which the country has moved toward socialism over the past four years had to be stopped with this election if there was any hope to save us from disaster. Now that it is clear that certain areas of the country wish to follow this change to socialism, many believe that it is time for those of us who believe in the original form of government that is defined in the Constitution to allow those who want a socialist government to have it. We simply wish for them to allow us to have the form of government we wish to have as well. The only way to accomplish that is through secession.

Sound like a Baptist church :-)
Seriously,this kind of divisiveness never wins.
BTW, I am Baptist and I voted for Romney, but mainly a Christian and an American. I am for finding common ground and building on that for a stronger country.

I signed the Ga petition. Not because I want to completely secede but because I want people to understand this country has gotten way to big. We need to divide the country like the weather map and vote for regional Presidents. We can still have one President but when the whole President thing was created there were only 10 or so states. Now there are 50 and billions of people. I think having Regional (district) Presidents is the way to go.

The folks here worried about socialism really don't have a clue as to what it really is. If you think that this country is headed for socialist status, I'm at a loss. Is unemployment insurance bad? Is social security and medicare bad? Is the draft in time of war bad? are interstate highways and paved roads bad? Are National Parks bad? These are all SOCIALIST type things but they don't make this country socialist. Or Marxist, or comunist, they are just for the good of everyone and the use of everyone. Socialism is used as loosely by the losers of this last election as they claim the race card is played by liberals. Let's just fix the country's problems by working together to do it and quit sniping at each other, valuable energy is being wasted here that could be put to good use for America.

Any of you that beleive that seceeding from the U.S. is a good idea are crazy or on crack. You uneducated ignorant people are no more than a bad joke.

I signed it because I LOVE the principles and foundation that made America great. The current administration has zero respect for our country, our foundation and is steam rolling the USA into ruin. I LOVE America and seek for our country to return to a place where excellence is rewarded, and celebrated - not demonized and penalized. I signed and fully support and celebrate it!

how will your state protect itself without a military?ill you put up walls around ea. state? i dont think you people thought this thing out.would you need a passport to go to disneyland?UNITED WE STAND DEVIDED WE FALL.

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME, OF THE STUPIDITY THAT IS RUNNING RAMPANT IN THIS COUNTRY.

"Lunatic Fringe" is a phrase well-describing of those whom would now rather secede than participate in Our Nations governmental processes...who'd rather continue throwing-sticks into the spokes of Obamas Presidency for their chronic malcontent of Its success at legitimate polls than move-forward the day AFTER conclusion of the election by working TOGETHER toward finding balanced solutions to Their concerns, if not rather standing aside otherwise...no, they'd rather want only to IMPEEDE the process, doing-so in the name of yester-century "Patriotisim" completely oblivious (if not in denial ; ) of the Nations evolving demographics. Like the T-shirt says: The problem is obvious.
