In case you haven’t heard, a petition was filed on November 7 for Louisiana to peacefully secede from the United States. At last report there were about 3,500 signatures with 25,000 required to get a response from the White House. A similar petition was filed on Friday the 9th for Texas. Each petition seeks a peaceful separation to establish a new government.
I checked out some of the signatures - first name and cities are revealed - for Texas and am amazed at the locations. People from all over the state have begun signing up.
While these kind of things happen all the time, it is somewhat unusual that thousands are signing in just a few days. And, if I had not run across this by accident, I would not have known. Makes me wonder how people find out and jump on board.
It would be interesting if both states were actually able to secede. Texas is the 15th largest economy in the world and Louisiana has the best food in the world. Wow! That would bring the rest of the states into a condition of shock. Take away all that money and crawfish etoufee and that’s a serious blow.
I can’t wait to see what happens.
