My question is who has the power to make these decisions?
All a petition does is get attention. It doesn't accomplish anything other than that.

Re: Texas Petition to Secede 60k sign Petition

"Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it," Perry's press secretary said in a statement. "But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government. ... We cannot allow Washington's tax and spend, one-size-fits-all mindset to jeopardize our children's future, undermine our personal liberties and drive our nation down a dangerous path to greater dependence of government."

to all those of you who are against this secession. I am not for or against. I have and always will believe that there can be no USA in the time of anti-christ.

Re: Texas Petition to Secede 60k sign Petition

I have studied history and have read that when washington was praying for his troops at Valley Forge god told him when the first civil war would happen. I wonder if that is why washington oppossed slavery and set his slaves free when he died.
states have the right to leave the union when the federal government defies the constitution.

Brethren, we fought a Civil War at the cost of 700,000 American lives. I hope none of you seriously think for a second that a state could just leave the union with a petition. I cant believe people even talk about it.

It's just a disgruntled lot upset about the election outcome. The petition is at an official White House website. Who in their right mind would go there in the first place and sign anything?
