Secessionists Meeting in Tennessee CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Map, News) - In an unlikely marriage of desire to secede from the United States, two advocacy groups from opposite political traditions - New England and the South - are sitting down to talk.

Tired of foreign wars and what they consider right-wing courts, the Middlebury Institute wants liberal states like Vermont to be able to secede peacefully.

Immigration Citizens of Dixie!    I stand before you today to talk to you not as an ‘american’, but as a Southerner. And I wish to direct my remarks toward a Southern problem - immigration; both legal and illegal. Some of you may be wondering why I have chosen to frame my argument this way. Allow me to explain.

Defending Our Nation Great wars have been as landmarks in the progress of nations, measuring-points of growth or decay. As crucibles they test the characters of peoples. Whether or not there is fibre to bear the crush of battle, and the strain of long contest:--not only in this determined; but also another matter, of yet more serious import, and of deeper interest to the student of history and to a questioning posterity.

The grave investigator of to-day, searches the past to know whether man is of such character, whether the causes for which he has fought are such, that the future is always to be dark with "wars and rumors of war"

DefederalizationThis is political blog on the state of our union: why it's too strong, stifling our dreams and trampling our freedoms.

So what can we do?

DEFEDERALIZE!

U.S. House of Representatives passes H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
The Empire has squeezed its subjects so hard that it now has good reason to fear them. This House Resolution is not a sign of a growing terrorist threat but rather the natural consequences of a government which fears its people.

This Act is undermining, and threatening, the constitutional rights of citizens of the several States to organize in dissent of the Patriot Act, NSA surveillance, telecom immunity, social injustice, the War on Terror, or any other program that the citizenry feels is in violation of their unalienable rights.

Those who are doing nothing but voicing their opinions against a government that has expanded its executive powers, bypassed congressional check and balance, and has undermined our U.S. Judiciary System, are now at risk, by this new act, of being labeled and prosecuted as a terrorist.

Concerned citizens should stay up to date on this important piece of legislation

Secession Convention Leads to Declaration League of the South News Service
8 October 2007 AD

For Immediate Release

On October 3 & 4, the Second North American Secession Convention was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee to discuss the practical use of "secession" as a remedy for the unconstitutional encroachments of the out of control and increasingly corrupt federal government upon individual liberties and States' Rights.  The divergent groups represented at the Convention included those on the "far left" of the political spectrum, including the Second Vermont Republic, and those considered to be politically "conservative" such as The League of the South, the most active States' Rights organisation in the South.  Representatives from more than 18 different organisations, which promote the right of secession, put aside political differences for the purpose of advocating the right of secession as the best way to restore liberty and self-government to all of these united States 
The Second North American Secession Convention led to the Chattanooga Declaration, which stated the following:

THE CHATTANOOGA DECLARATION

The Chattanooga Declaration was drafted and approved by delegates to the Second North American Secessionist Convention on 4 October 2007.

We, the delegates of the Secession movements represented at the Second North American Secessionist Convention, acknowledging our differences, yet agree on the following truths:

1. The deepest questions of human liberty and government facing our time go beyond right and left, and in fact have made the old right-left split meaningless and dead.
2. The privileges, monopolies, and powers that private corporations have won from government threaten everyone's health, prosperity, and liberty, and have already killed American self-government by the people.
3. The power of corporations endangers liberty as much as government power, especially when they are combined as in the American Empire.
4. Liberty can only survive if political power is returned from faraway and self-interested centers to local communities and States.
5. The American Empire is no longer a nation or a republic, but has become a tyrant aggressive abroad and despotic at home.
6. The States of the American union are and of right ought to be, free and self-governing.
7. Without secession, liberty and self-government can never be sustained, and diversity among human societies can never survive.
