The whole idea of our country was states rights as designed by Thomas Jefferson,Ben Franklin and the rest of the signers.The federal gov't was to have a limited role soley infrastructure and protecting our shores from foriegn invasion,that way no state or politician could impose his will on the rest of the country,socialism might work in California and New York but it doesn't work here,people tend to be hard working,God fearing,and given to taking handouts here and I think we feel that it is not fair to expect us to pay for it.

Tired of giving half my check every week to people who don't want to work,no matter what they are white,black,indian,whatever,the good majority of them dope up their goodies in a weeks time and then we have to endure these inbreds panhandling on every street corner in town

The state count is now up to 47! I have links to all of the petitions here: stevemeadedesigns(dot)com/board/topic/155641-individuals-from-47-states-start-petitions-to-secede-from-the-us/

we already have way toomany governments in oklahoma..all this division is bleding us dry...i say we need to only have one government here so end all tribal govenrments as seperate legal entities, end all specialized tax breaks and programs and end all payments for head rights. we are either all americans or not. so if your not then you need to figure out where you are gonna go live. dont whine at me about the past, we have been paying for it for a long time. thehistory is deplorable but it is the past and im talking about the future. lets step up and step forward into a brighter united future where the dreams of MLK could flourish and become reality.

At least Texas has the testicular fortitude to do what's right

No legitimate representive of the five civilized tribes ever signed to be a part of the union,it was done in retaliation for their support of the south during the civil war,I say do it he doesn't represent us

Be a good idea for Oklahoma to secede from the union. Could we sell it back to Mexico??? Oh that's right they're gradually taking it back one property at a time. Occupy Oklahoma ahead of the curve compared to the milktoast constituents of occupy Tulsa. Probably be difficult for Oklahoma to secede from the union. Didn't they pay for this territory??
