(MOBILE, Ala.) - Alabama's petition to secede from the United States has reached nearly 28,000 signatures.

That’s well over the 25,000 needed to get a response from the White House.

The petition that asks to peacefully withdraw from the United States and create a new government was first started November 9th by a Mobile resident.

At least two dozen states have similar petitions on the White House website. Texas has already drawn more than 100,000 signatures.

By signing a petition to secede, a person is simply saying they don't have respect for our American governmental process or the rights of other voters to choose differently. They are the ones who always think they're correct, a 'my way or the highway' approach. Although secession is not a legal option, the government does have a process to satisfy these people. Go into any consulate and sign a form to renounce your US Citizenship. That's it. Then you can move to the country of your choice, (if they'll have you). One thing for sure, America doesn't need you or your disloyalty. You are poison to any society.

These petitions are only a venting of anger for losing to the democrats!! They are not legal. Nor are they in anyway forcing. The idea of a state to secede is resolved, and no state can EVER secede from the binding pact of the union!! God bless AMERICA!!
