Actually, military would triumph. It's not like we won the Revolutionary War because the Brits were all "Oh, they have their natural rights." It was because we held out long enough and caused enough damage for them to go "Fuck this noise this isn't worth it".
Declaring a secession and explaining why isn't broadcasting and promoting secession.

Congress gets a lot of control over the budget. They also need to pass it off after messing with it. You never get to place all the blame on the president unless it's something that goes straight to him without any other branch of government involved. I would say much of the blame for bills and budgets goes to Congress, especially considering that they can overturn a veto.

There is reason why there are only a few thousand crazies going on about "USA is falling apart".
Its not real.
cry more republicans, cry out all your tears. they are delicious.
I think the civil war already has set the precident that states are not allowed to leave the union
I don't think we would have to bother. If I recall correctly, Texas had to make deep cuts to education to balance this budget and had to use billions of federal stimulus money to balance the last one. Sounds like smoke and mirrors to me. Now, how will they afford any significant defense spending? The cartels would have a field day if Texas was suddenly on its own.
This petition is nothing more than some sore losers showing again, why they lost in the first place. The fact that we're hearing secession nonsense from republicans just adds irony to the idiocy considering that they were the ones who kept states from staying seceded last time they tried it. The only ones this is fooling are the ones who want to be fooled.

"Oh, wretched ephemeral race, children of chance and misery, why do you compel me to tell you what it would be more expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach; not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is --- to die soon." Silenus
yes, because all of us republicans are crying over romneys loss.
newsflash: not all of us replublicans thought of him to be a good candidate for president. i think both he and obama are about the most worthless candidates/presidents in american history.
oh and btw, liberals are about the whiniest crybaby people on this forsaken planet.
just sayin....

while there are a lot of whiny people in texas/southern states, there are a lot of patriotic people that join our military branches out of the south. get rid of them and you get rid of a lot of our fighting force, that protect your rights and freedoms that allow you to post such idiocy....
...Yeah he totally did all that, and he NEVER had any help from the republicans shooting down everything that was proposed because it didn't support their rich contributors. Nope, all Obama 100% his fault entirely. After all, he can totally force the house and senate to agree on everything he says.
PS: You can't do crap if your hands are tied and one Zealot group refuses to listen to reason because their heads are lodged up their ass. Just saying.

If Texas was to leave, especially on poor relations, the States would collapse. The oil and gas industry that Texas has alone would cripple the US if it ceased to be Federally controlled. It would then be left upto Canada to supply the US with the majority of oil, but theres not enough pipelines or refineries in service that could handle that load and would set them back years before the demand could be met. Right now 90% of the oil/gas exported from Canada leaves the Hardisty terminal in Alberta and goes off to Texas.
