Great.
Wasn't there something back in United States' history about this
[S]Abraham Lincoln

The point of petitions on the website is to get an official response from the White House. Most likely referencing Abraham Lincoln and a "No."
Let see what's good about Louisiana

Louisiana's contribution to federal money per capita.... $-2180
yes that is a negative sign

Where would they leave to?
It's not like they're Canada that already has its own economy set up and everything.
Irony is if Louisana leaves, the US flag wouldn't need to change its star design when Puerto Rico joins.

They could be like Quebec. They want/wanted to leave Canada to become their own country yet still use Canadian currency (and maybe get money from the Canadian government).

LOL Only Texas has the right to secede. Louisiana should just be humored and kicked out. And what's their economy based around to get a negative gdp contribution? Maybe getting hit by hurricanes?

Most Quebecois jsut want to have more power from Canada actually. True separatists are unsurprisingly rare, because generally separatism is a thing for retards, and retards are few and far in between.

To the autonomous state of Louisiana.

Honestly I can't blame them, and its a lot more than just Louisana and Texas.
Obama is pushing socialism with his Obama care, and a lot of people who dont pay attention to anything seem perfectly ok with the tax increases that are apart of it, even though they have no business being with the bill itself. That and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts are gonna lead to a pretty huge tax spike under Obama, and many people already think Obama can't handle his money.
He promised to half our debt in our first four years, and he ended up spending more than every single president before him combined, and now he's just going to have more.
But those are my two cents as the only person on this forum who isn't a democrat (blindly jumping on the bandwagon or otherwise)

This will NOT be happening any time soon(if ever). The states are too dependent on the federal government right now to survive on their own as State rights have taken a back seat for the last 100 + years. Historically before the civil war, the south could attempt it because they were at the time still very different and separate from the North. Also consider that back then people identified themselves with their state. THESE days with all the rampant patriotism people from all over the country identify themselves as Americans first.
This is the same reaction that liberals had when they threatened to move to Canada after Bush won re-election.

This is only true if you ignore all the mitigating circumstances that helped to inflate the amount that "he spent" in his first term. The rest I won't deem to comment on because it'll just start a flame war that'll end up being liberal socialist vs bible toting reactionaries. The problem with politics today is that too many people from both parties are too confrontational and refuse to compromise on anything. Forgetting that the United States was founded on compromise.
