Dr. Michael Hill on Obama’s response to secession petitions
From the Southern Nationalist Network: Dr. Michael Hill is President of the League of the South, a former university professor and the author of Celtic Warfare and Fire & Sword. In this podcast Dr Hill speaks about the White House’s response to the secession petitions which were signed by over a million people who want to secede from the United States. Dr Hill talks about why he is glad that the Obama Administration argued that ‘might makes right.’ He continues by addressing the moral argument in favour of self-determination. Finally, Dr Hill touches on recent remarks on secession and the US war against the South by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and announces the upcoming League of the South national conference for 2013.

Obama has now quadrupled the number of signatures needed on these petitions to get an official response. Guess they got under his skin after all.
Heh. ;)
I offer the following to Dr Hill and others because it needs to be part of the agitation process:
A state can leave the Union under the following conditions supported by the Constitution:
1. A treaty between the US and the People of one or more regions ceding land to those people. Requires a presidential signature, a 2/3rds majority in the Senate, and ratification by the seceding people in plebiscite or convention.
2. Convention, wherein 3/4ths of the states agree to the terms of the convention by state convention or plebiscite. Can be started by as little as 1 state and requires half plus one of the 50 states for a quorum.
3. 10th Amendment: rights not forbidden to the states or people are reserved to the states and people. Nowhere in the Constitution does it forbid leaving the Union, either for individuals (which happens on occasion) or for states.
4. 9th Amendment: Unenumerated rights of the people are not to be disparaged, specifically, that of secession.
Let's get this started it would only take the act of one State Legislature to organize a delegation to a convention that would sit in perpetuity until other states came on board. I'm thinking Texas, but Alaska or Wyoming could also be good candidates.
