I signed it for the hell of it. All it requires is a response from the white house which will be "no".
It just goes to show how divided this country really is though.
20 other states! crazy

Obviously I'm not deducing that idea from the petitions being on the white house website...
Popular vote was pretty dang close. Have you seen the map of the country of how regions voted? Its california and New England... and the everyone else is red.

Louisiana needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs Louisiana
True, but this is an interesting point made by the guy who started the texas petition...
“The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending,” he wrote.
Texas, he added, “maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world,” making it “practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union.”

Sure they could. Many independent nations don't have the economy of Texas.

Anyone who says that TX or LA for that matter couldn't survive without the US are complete idiots. This has been well discussed in three different thread that are on this board right now.
