As in all the founding documents, the phrase "United States" is in the plural, signifying the free, independent and sovereign states. The free and independent states were united in ratifying the Constitution and delegating a few powers to the national government (Article 1, Section 8), while reserving all others for the people, respectively, or the states, as stated in the Tenth Amendment. If the American people were to be the masters rather than the servants of their national government, the only way they could do so would be through political communities organized at the state and local levels. This of course is how the Constitution was ratified – by political conventions of the states, as directed by Article 7 of the Constitution. Since Lincoln never admitted that secession was legal or constitutional, and insisted that the Southern states had never actually left the American union, he knowingly committed treason as defined by the Constitution by invading the Southern states. lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo246.html

Amen. DiLorenzo, woods and Livingston are great thinkers and writers.
"The America "union" ceased being a union of the people of the free and independent states in 1865. Today the "union" simply means the political plundering class in Washington, D.C., with all off its welfare/warfare state parasites, lobbyists, and propagandists in the media and academe. That is what one would be leaving behind by seceding. So be patriotic and become a secessionist."
If at first you don't secede; try, try again...

We should all go to the site and sign the petition. Then go to soldierhugs www.soldierhugs.com/sign-re-declaration-of-independence-2012/and sign the Declaration of Independence 2012. The go to www.wh.gov/IIKC and sign the Declaration there. I was #768. This is your chance to have a place in history. HOwever many worry that signing this will make you a target. To be truthful you are a target just by being here on this forum. SO do it and help let our Military, our Elected felons, and our Usurper in command that we want our real republic back.
