Texas is Leading the Secession Bandwagon

But about 11,000 people in New Jersey have signed an online petition supporting the secession of New Jersey from the United State of America.

(Note to the 11,000: Perhaps you can post-date it? We need FEMA at the moment).

Thousands have done likewise in other states (the video above is a few days old now, so the figures are now higher).

According to an online article:

In the days since President Obama was re-elected, visitors to the WhiteHouse.gov site  We the People have submitted a wave of petitions calling on Obama to allow 36 states to peacefully secede from the United States.

Ironically, states that obtained enough signatures (at least 25,000) to elicit a response from the White House (Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina — with the exception of Alabama) were some of the largest recipients of federal funding in 2010.
