Secession Petitions Now From 47 States

Washington is one of three states without one, might change when the DEA starts busting residents for smoking marijuana, now legal in the state

Conservatives have voted more than 375,000 times since Election Day to pick up their marbles and go home. That's how many virtual signatures appeared Monday night, as clocks in Washington, D.C. chimed midnight, on petitions asking President Barack Obama's administration to allow 47 of the 50 U.S. states to secede from the country.

A petition from an Arlington, Texas man, launched Nov. 9 via the Obama White House website's "We the People"  tool, had more than 58,000 signatures. That's more than twice the 25,000 it had Monday morning, a number required to trigger an automatic White House review, according to the administration's own published rules.
