Do we have to keep all of the people that are currently living here?

Louisiana needs the federal government more than they need Louisiana

I think that would be up to government of the Republic of Louisiana to decide.

No shite. Are the guys who post this secessionist crap truly serious? If so, they need help.

Absolutely, which is why I was asking if we get to remove some of the fat. No way this state could be viable without a better ratio of money in, money out and essentially an overhaul of our politicians. Pretty much, the idea is similar to that of the democrat's utopia, which is as real as Cher's face.

Do we get all of our oil and royalties? Also, do we get to handle up on access to the the mouth of the Mississippi? I need to know these things.

Sounds like an easy way to have a meeting with a federal agent.

Exactly. I need my questions answered. We would be a great trade partner if we owned all our resources.

As well as the ports like WT said. Only problem is Obama would drone strike the frick out us. Everybody remember what happened the last time the majority of millionaires in the country were from a small area of Louisiana?

Damn with all that cotton, oil, natural gas sugarcane, hot peppers, etc. You guys would do well. J/K. There's oil/natural gas in the area of my grandma's land in rural North Louisiana. I guess it's time for us to lawyer up.

After you form your own government you perform your own genocide. I feel really confident Obama won't object nor intercede. I think you can use Syria as a model to genocide by.

Obviously this won't happen, but LA has access to valuable products plus important ports. People saying LA couldn't survive are wrong. Take the US out our business, we profit.

Let's see if I have this right. We would co-opt the Louisiana National Guard. And with the support of a well armed populace we would secede and defeat the Yankees by sheer force of will and the fact that God is on our side. Cool. Go for it.
