Citizens in 15 states are filing petitions for secession. The second civil war has begun ! Well not

really. They are using a blog spammer outfit called Whitehouse.gov to create online petitions the dissolution of the United States due to the massive 'DemocRat' voter fraud which robbed them of their conservative landslide last week.

It's rather amusing and I suggest everyone take a peek. Don't worry about sending traffic their way. I doubt they have more than a few thousand hits a week.

For the original article is here (the count is up to 39 states now)

http://www.examiner.com/article/citizens-15-states-file-petitions-to-secede-from-united-states

And here is the whitehouse.gov petitions page where the Baggers are posting their spam petitions

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/peacefully-grant-state-louisiana-withdraw-united-states-america-and-create-its-own-new-government/1wrvtngl


This will keep the TeaBaggers amused until they get rolling on impeaching the President over BenghaziGate.

7. I'll make a correction. It appears Baggers are abusing the whitehouse.gov petition page.

It has been done before. This was done prior to the Civil War. The White House has already received over 25,000 signatures. This is legal and the amount of signatures are growing. Read some history. Concentrate on the Civil War period.

Nothing will come of this my friend. Just a bunch of right wingers that can not stand the fact that they lost. Again welcome to DU.

if we're all making petitions for stuff that ain't gonna happen, I'm gonna head on over and start the "Give JoeyT an enormous bag of money" petition.

Bonehead knows what'll happen to his relations with the White House if he lets any proceedings get beyond the Bachmann-Gohmert fringe, and this isn't 1999. Hastert was led around by the nose by Hyde, and it was at the end of Clinton's second term. It has only been just over a decade since Clinton's impeachment. The memories are fresh, and the congressional Democrats are vigilant this time. In 1999, the Democrats didn't think the Republicans were that fanatic. Now we know they are.

like Akins and Mourdock didn't get in. Looks like West is out too.

But the RW blogsphere will keep that fire burning until Barack gets on the Presidential helicopter for the last time in 2016.

Should redirect signees to the immigration page for any of the many nations with an embassy in the United States. Make it a random one, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
