If one state was to secede from the united states, which one would it be?

[ringmastery]

Which state is our "Quebec?"

[LosinIt]

1. The state of Disenchantment

[Chicago Democrat]

2. Texas

Let's just kick them out. All the Texas Dems can move to the new "rump Texas" called Austinio. Lets kick out Texas!

[PurityOfEssence]

7. Texas has the right to do so, by terms of its acquisition

Of course, they've already done it once, so I don't know if it's still intact. When the Texas Republic negotiated to be part of the country, they also had a provision put in that they could divide into as many as five states if they so chose. I also don't know if that's still in place, but it sure as hell could mess things up if it is and gets exercised.

10. That Is No Longer In Place

Harassment of Republic of Texas Citizen Continues

Republic of Texas citizen, Emmett Enlow, has been arrested again by agents of Dallas County. Utilizing the citizen identification card stolen from Mr. Enlow during his arrest on Friday, Dallas County agents have charged Mr. Enlow with "impersonating an officer." According to reports, Mr. Enlow is being held in the Lew Sterrett Justice Center awaiting a meeting with one of the occupiers who is impersonating a judge.

...This harassment must cease. Efforts to secure Mr. Enlow's release are being coordinated through the offices of the Consul General and the President. I urge everyone to do the following:

1) Call the Lew Sterrett Justice Center at [phone] and tell them: "I am a citizen of the Republic of Texas and I am calling to demand the release of our citizen, Emmett Enlow. Barring this I demand that he be classified as a political prisoner and treated under the international standards for political prisoners."

19. They were divided

TX, and fragments to OK, KS, AR* and LA*

* Disputed areas of LA and AR both claimed by Mexico and the US after the Louisanna Purchase)

[POed_Ex_Repub]

3. I can narrow it down to four

Because of distance from the other 48

Hawaii
Alaska

No explanation Needed (I think)

Texas
California

[BradCKY]

4. Only one state seems likely to me.

Texas, it used to be it's own country and they still take great pride in that.

Example the saying "its like a whole other country.

[corporatewhore]

5. Ah hell i say Texas and we ban the bush clan from enteringour fair country

[xxqqqzme]

6. CAlifornia

we have ports, agriculture, exports - the 5th largest economy - we should B our own country.

[tishaLA]

8. We in California would like to accept your kind offer

[maveric]

11. Who would be our prez? Willie Brown or Jerry Browne?

Please dont say Ah-Nold!

[Robin Hood]

15. Easy, Gavin Newsome and his hot wife.

Newsome for president of the country of California.

[tishaLA]

21. You have selected the winner!

make his hot wife the AG in fact.

[VOX]

23. California has an economy large enough to make this feasible.

When it's up and running, of course.

[SerpentX]

24. Do we take Orange County?

[Nihil]

9. The UK

Oops ... forgot we weren't "officially" a state yet ...

[anarchy1999]

13. Texas, Louisiana, California, Hawaii

Just for starters.

Let's go. Who's ready? I know Ron Paul is. Seems like I've read something about Utah and Cascadia. Seceding is not out of the realm of possibilities, just going to be alot of trouble to make happen, but then who knows? Allen G said today that mortgage debt is a potential problem. We've been reading about this very issue for 2 years. Now he says it might be an area of concern. Too late, too bad, so sad.

Time to BAIL! Fast and Soon. Get rid of the Fed Reserve, The IMF and WTO, NAFTA, etc. Along with the CFR and so on and so forth. Okay, going to get my tin foil hat and wallpaper now, sorry.

14. Not Louisiana. Everyone's hung-over from Mardi Gras.

Other than the fact that we get federal dollars and pay US income tax, we're only contiguously a part of the US, anyway. And we'll probably be too busy either cooking, eating, or talking about our next pot o' crawdads, as they are about to come into season...

[AgadorSparticus]

16. Texas, hands down! Most Texans already think it's a separate country.

it wouldn't be that much of a leap.

[I AM SPARTACUS]

17. maybe not most, but some, for real...see #12 above...

[Dookus]

18. Canada

:evilgrin:

just kidding.


I think the most likely state would be Hawaii. It has an actual independence movement. I don't think it's likely to happen, but it probably has the highest likelihood of any state.

[Gore1FL]

20. None

there is absolutely no way that a astate could mster enough legislative votes to seceed.

elected officals rarely enjoy having treason associated with them.

[izzie]

22. Alaska,

I never met one that was glad they became the 49 state who was there when it came in.

[DiverDave]

25. Hawaii

They were a sovern nation until the sugar barons cried WOLF and the U.S. came to their rescue.
Statehood for profits of the few...has such a nice ring to it, eh wot?
And being from the Pacific Northwest (Springfield, OR) I think WA. OR.
And B.C. should be a separate country. Or WA. and OR. should vote to become part of Canada.
The feds don't really care about the P.N. anyway.

Hey a guy can dream, right?

[skippysmom]

26. All six New England states

At least, I think we SHOULD secede. Most of the country has determined that we're not really Americans anyway.
