States breaking apart!?

States breaking apart

The authors purpose of this article is to inform readers on the recent outrage of states in the US wanting to break away from the country and form their own governments, because of the re-election of president Barack Obama. The author clearly makes their point because he gives good details and examples to help explain the succeeding of the states.

"On November 14, 2012, Daily Caller announced that the White House website “We the People” has received secession petitions from all 50 states. The petitions were filed and signed by those who are apprehensive regarding President Obama’s re-election and feel their state would be better off separated from the Union and operating as its own government" Here the author is explaining what the 50 petitions are and what part they take in the attempt for the states to succeed from the rest of the country.

"It is common for those disappointed with an election result to threaten moving or leaving the country, but the secession petitions bring a new dimension to a nation that is already running on a technological infrastructure never known before." Of course there are people that hate Obama, which is quite normal nowadays, you hear it non-stop, but petitioning to succeed from your country and form your own government is a little too far.

"Anyone may start a petition, but once a petition receives at least 25,000 signatures, the petition moves to a White House review where it will receive notice" You can start a petition for whatever you like, but just remember even if you do reach the goal of 25,000 signatures you still have to go through congress with them, and that is most likely where it will be shot down, if it's not logical, just like this whole petition of the states drama going on.

This whole situation reminds me of other countries that used to do this back along time ago that i've read about  in my history book, like europe and other middle east countries that would break apart for power, money, and trade, because they couldn't all get along as one country.

 All in all the author really informs the reader well on the situation, and how not likely it is to actually succeed through and be passed. Everyone's not going to like the president weather he is democrat or republican, black or white, you can't please everyone. So why not just hang on for the ride, maybe something good will come out of it all.
