Secession Secession has been at the top of the alternative news this week and I think an important point is being missed in the discussion. Most of the talking points have been centered around whether or not secession is legal.Now stop and think about this for a minute. The reason the petitions have begun is because we have a government that is acting illegally, with impunity, every day. What difference does it make if secession is legal? We have to follow the law and they don’t? (In point of fact, it is legal to secede despite the flawed Supreme court precedent to the contrary.)As Thomas Jefferson said, we must “separate from our companions only when the sole alternatives left, are the dissolution of our Union with them, or submission to a government without limitation of powers. Between these two evils, when we must make a choice, there can be no hesitation.”
This is exactly the situation we are in. And we are in this situation because the states failed to follow Jefferson’s advice and be “watchful to note every material usurpation on their rights; to denounce them as they occur in the most peremptory terms…”
As of the writing of this letter, 6 of the top 20, and 16 of the top 40, petitions seek secession for their state. These petitions show the level of frustration we are feeling with our Federal government and give us an avenue to express it. I don’t believe the White House will respond in any meaningful way to these petitions, but it is a way for Americans to make a symbolic stand. It is a type of 9/12 march on our capitol. Personally, I signed the petition for the state of Tennessee.
Here at Liberty Legal Foundation, we are investigating, discussing and weighing every available avenue for restoring rule of law in this country. We welcome your input and as always we press on…
…for Liberty,
Van Irion, Founder

Sheriff Joe should have said to Obama, “Let’s meet ‘man to man’ so that I can beat your sorry a** and then place the cuffs on you and get you into one of my pink prison uniforms.” Ahhh, just dreaming!!

I have been unable to open the articles re the Van Irion advocacy efforts for LTC Walter Fitzpatrick that were just posted yesterday. The pages are blank. Have the articles been removed? If so, by whom and why? I pray for both Mr. Van Irion and Mr. Fitzpatrick that someday and sooner than later justice will be served for both of them as they attempt to bring this about by pursuing the issues of corruption that abound in their areas and with the eligibility issue for Obama.

We made no postings on that subject yesterday. We have this one: http://obamaballotchallenge.com/on-secession-by-van-irion. Are you referring to articles on their site?
I see that we are unable to get on their site : http://libertylegalfoundation.org/ right now. Not sure what the problem is.
