Petition started for Idaho to secede from union
BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) -- A petition has been started to withdraw Idaho from the United States of America and become its own government.
The petition was started from the White House's "We the People" website, which was set up by the Obama administration for citizens to engage with government. The online petition was created by a Meridian resident on November 11th and already has more than 5,000 signatures.
The petitions reads, "We the people of the great state of Idaho are angered that the federal government is violating our natural/God-given rights...it is time to take matter upon ourselves and ensure our continue freedom."
Although thousands have already signed the petition, many of those signatures are not from Idaho residents.
Where on earth will these people go and get accepted? Â No one else wants their junk attitudes either.
 @figgypuddin' Texas. Last I knew, THEIR petition had 23K signatures and was still growing.
The government - and more specifically the Idaho Department of Corrections is so corrupt  I would absolutely leave this beautiful state in a heartbeat if this ever went through.Â
so then these idiots think they come back when Obama is done?  Pulease..if you don't like America  there is the door.
Â
what a crybabie poor man in meridian this is so dumbÂ
The rest of the world is looking at America and laughing their collective arses off! Â This is absolutely pathetic! Â
totally dumb....where would we get money to fund our businesses and schools? What about those of Us that rely on Social Security and such?  This "new" nation going to keep Social Security?  Change the politicians,, they are the problem.
 @tsharilm I'm of the opinion that we should simply round up the people who want to secede, give them a state, remove it from the Union, and let them fend for themselves for a while. No Federal assistance, no Federal jobs, nothing.
