Greeting Everyone,
As you know, there are several citizens of several states including my state, Alabama, want to secede from the United States. There are several different petitions formed by Republicans and Tea Party members on the White House web site.They formed these petitions because President Obama won the election (and they hate President Obama). For some that don't know what that means, I'll give you a definition. To secede means to withdraw formally from a membership in a country, union, or alliance. If these states in the U.S. secede, that means we will no longer be part of the United States. These states will not have any federal rights. If the state have a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or a tornato, FEMA will not be available to those who need help rebuilding their homes, replace items, etc. If you want to go to college for a better education, you can't get Financial Aid such as Pell Grants, Student Loans, etc. This is a bad thing because college tuition is on the rise. Please keep in mind people that there are more consequence than describe above. It's stupid to withdraw from the U.S. just because a person have a deep hatred for President Obama or hated the way the 2012 United States Election ended. It is NEVER a good idea to act out of anger. The biggest mistake that a person or people can do is let anger cloud intuitions and judgements. When people are angry they don't think clearly and they don't make good decisions. Many Republicans need to accept the fact the THE PEOPLE in America has spoken. Many states in the U.S can't afford to secede from the U.S because many states don't have all the resources that the human race need in order to survive, just like the United States alone doesn't have all the survival resources it needs for their citizens (U.S. citizens), that is why the United States continously trade with several different countries. Also, many states in the U.S. grow and make different things. Alabama, my state is an agricultural state. The small town of Saint Elmo, Alabama, where my father's family is from, grow a variety of crops such as cotton, corn, and wheat (I can't think of anything else). Every certain areas such as small towns in each state contribute to the entire United States of America. Also, people don't realize that Social Security checks comes from Federal money. People who have worked for years for their money will not be able to get their Social Security checks because they will no longer be part of the United States. Also, if you cross the border of another state that is part of the U.S. just so you can visit another person, whether a relative or friend, you will become an "undocumented person". And a state that has seceded have to create their own money and financial system and that will take a very long time. Whatever money that you currently have will be no good, because your state is no longer apart of the United States of America. So think clearly why you or your state want to secede from the United States. I myself want to be an American and part of the United States.
