Corporate tv uses propaganda to keep us divided.
Occupy Wall Street movement - peaceful protest of American citizens, doesn't bring much (if any) results.
What will?

some people believe in nullification, right (guarranteed by the 10th amendment) of states to ovrerturn federal law!

I think the South did that back in the 1860's and tried to secede from the Union and got their butts kicked.  Matter of fact I had a great geat relative that fought for the South.

it isn't just the South who petitions Washington.People sign these petitions also from NJ  NY and my PA.

Federal Government which makes it impossible for American peple to influence policies of our country  acts dictatorial and NOT in a way that this country was meant to be (see: constitution).
many people believe the system can't be fixed and so it should be left.

states stand up to fed. gov. - as their power has been meant to be greater- by nullification.
in  COand WA marijuana smoking is legal because such was the will of the people in these states.

This page has lots of petitions that are on going. You'll have to browse them a bit, but there are quite a few states with petitions to secede. I don't know that any of them are actually derived from the official government's of the states.

i guess NONE of them is by any official--only by the PEOPLE.White House hs to answer petitions which got more than 25K in 30 days.
Problem i have with them:
first i liked the idea because even though the secession would hopefully never happen such petitions might give people more power!
Many Ron Paul supporters-disillusioned by the system- thought that too.

bot now i see that many neocons- that  we wanted to run from--use it to their benefit and against Obama.
