For the sake of irritating

the talking heads on the east side of the state.

So what's wrong with secession?

Charlie Sykes was having a fit over there about it.  When citizens have lost the ability to govern themselves, how are they supposed to react?  Is he mad because it's unpatriotic?  Impractical?  Or are we just worried about what the poll numbers look like in 2016 for being a fanatic?  We specialize in fanaticism over here.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Monday that secession was a “deeply American principle,” amid a growing number of people petitioning the White House to let their states secede from the U.S.

“Secession is a deeply American principle. This country was born through secession. Some felt it was treasonous to secede from England, but those ‘traitors’ became our country’s greatest patriots,” the former presidential candidate wrote in a post on his House website. “There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it represents.”
He continued: “If the possibility of secession is completely off the table there is nothing to stop the federal government from continuing to encroach on our liberties and no recourse for those who are sick and tired of it.”

Peacefully grant the State of Wisconsin to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own government.

Following the lead from several others who started these petitions, I created one for Wisconsin.  As of writing this, the Texas petition had 50,000 signatures after one day, all that is required for consideration by the White House is 25,000. 

It reads:

-----
Peacefully grant the State of Wisconsin 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..."
