A petition on the official White House website, We The People, has more than 1,000 signatures so far.
The President won a decisive victory but there are still many disgruntled Americans who are not happy with the path Barack Obama has chosen and they want their home states to secede. Petitions from more than 30 states have been posted on the White House's 'We The People' website--where individuals can post petitions and voice concerns. If a petition gets more than 25,000 electronic signatures then the White House will respond. A petition for Pennsylvania reads: "Peacefully grant the State of Pennsylvania to withdraw from the United States of America and create a NEW government." On Tuesday morning, Nov. 13 at 9 a.m. there were 1,528 signatures. Texas leads the effort with 63,910 signatures. Lousiana also has more than 25,000. Of course …

If Obama is defeated, we may never have a free election again.
Common Sense is the title of pamphlet written by one of our Founding Fathers, Tom Paine, and published first in 1776. It explained to the American colonists, in simple language that all could understand, why they should revolt against Great Britain. It was the best-selling publication in American history, selling more than 500,000 copies in 1776 alone. It created a tremendous change in American opinion and was largely responsible for the success of the American Revolution. It began with the famous words, “These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Paine went …

Rocker Bruce Springsteen says Obama forges the best path to an inclusive and fair America.
Bruce Springsteen published a defense of the record and promise of President Obama on Wednesday, a day ahead of a campaign rally in the battleground state of Ohio and a performance at Iowa State University. Springsteen, who is set to appear at the Ohio rally with former President Clinton, writes that Obama showed "grit, determination and focus" as he faced "extraordinary" opposition and "economic chaos" left behind by the Bush Administration. "Domestically, that record includes working to increase and expand employment for all, protecting our all important social safety net, passing guaranteed health care for most of our citizens, with important new protections for all of the insured, rescuing the auto industry and so many of the American …
While Obama landed haymakers, Romney was flummoxed and told a flat-out lie.
The second presidential debate was a good fight, not as reasoned or polite as debates which took place in cooler atmospheres. There was very little in the way of facts and specific plans, especially from Romney. If a winner needs to be declared, I think it was Obama by a wide margin. He was energetic, answered the questions put to him in his usual detail, and refuted Romney or noticed his vagaries. In essence Romney, who was also fairly animated, kept saying that “I have a plan” for whatever ails the U.S., but "I am not going to tell it to you until after the election." Early on in the proceedings, moderator Candy Crowley stopped Romney to ask him to provide the specific details of his proposed tax cuts in response to a question from the …
