As of today, 31 states have petitioned to secede from the union These states are: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming.
Why would all of these states want to secede? Because these petitions arose after the election, one would guess there's some upset republicans who didn't get their way and don't want to be ruled by Obama. The only reason why this can't be true, some of the states that were in favor of Obama have also made petitions. Most of the states are straight to the point, not giving a direct reason, saying they simply want a "NEW government" Others complain of "blatant abuses" of Americans' rights.
No matter the reason, what's going to be done about this? President Obama is going to have to make a statement sooner or later with all the of attention this is getting. I'm curious as to how he would be able to tell them they cannot secede without causing an aggressive or violent retort.
