Secession Bullshit

Ugh
I'm so tired of hearing about this secession bullshit.

I'm going to give a lesson in critical thinking right now.
I want Everyone to Go to the White house petition page
White House Petitions
Click on 'view petitions'
Then Click on 'popular' next to 'all petitions'
The first one you see should say:
"Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government"
Click on that Petition.
Read it.
Now go down to the signatures
Take note of how many signatures are from people in states other than Texas.

Now, I want you to search through those signatures for Texas or, better yet, search the petition for your own state.
See if any of those are from your governor or search for your own state representative and see if they may have signed the petition.
Then I want you to contact your governor and your state legislature and find out if they support secession.
Then ask them if they have written any legislation to start secession.

Now, go back up to the top of the white house page.
Click on 'responses'
Now click on any response you wish and read it fully.

Now I want you to go back to that time you wrote, called, or emailed your own representatives.
Remember the response you got back?
Yes, the one that basically says, 'thanks for your concern, we'll do whatever the fuck we want. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us."

Now I want you to ask yourself a question.
Does the president have the power to allow states to secede?
What does the constitution say about secession?

What would be a more effective way to secede if your state wanted to?


Now I want you to think hard about all the media outlets that have ran this story.
Did any of them talk about the actual legitimacy of these petitions?
What possible agenda would they have in running this story if it is actual bullshit?

I'm done
