Over the years there has been talk in Texas about seceding from America again. That talk has never been taken serious. That is Until this week. That is because on Friday (Nov 9, 2012) someone named Micah H. from Arlington started a petition on the White House's "We the People" section of the website. By 7am central time this morning (Nov. 13, 2012) there were 58,486 signatures, according to San Antonio's KENS5.
The Dallas Morning News reports that the Republican governor's press secretary, Catherine Frazier, said in an email that Perry "believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it." She added, "But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government. Now more than ever our country needs strong leadership from states like Texas, that are making tough decisions to live within their means, keep taxes low and provide opportunities to job creators so their citizens can provide for their families and prosper."
So what will the official White House response be? We will just have to wait and see.
