Should the States of America be able to be independant of the U.S. government if their people vote for it?

Question

Say you live in Oregon, and you feel like the federal government is screwing up the united states..and you and all your Oregonian Brothers and sisters hold a vote and the people overwhelmingly decide they want their independance from the federal government..and with this freedom Oregon could decide on their own cool rules...

Answer 1

That's an interesting question. I like your idea.

Answer 2

I don't think they should, because it would generally mess up the US's economy if all of a sudden, something that used to be traded within the nation became an international trade.

I think a better solution would be for these Oregonians to tell the politicians that they're going to secede, and then have the government fix the problems that are worst.

Answer 3

We fought this war. It was called the Civil War. The minority cannot take property away from the U.S.A. as a whole, sorry.

You could move? Just a suggestion. We don't insist. That would be UnAmerican. Some of us still believe in our country and system of government despite the sedition we hear out there.

Answer 4

It's been done. It was called the Confederate States of America, until Abe Lincoln and his Fascist hoards from up north came and invaded, burned everything and then wrote the history books making themselves look like the good guys.

Answer 5

Ummm...that already was tried and it failed miserably. Ever heard of the Civil War? So no it'll never happen. Keep dreaming.

Answer 6

that would screw up your economy. thats a terrible idea. think about what the people of your state do without US help.

Answer 7

only if the other states vote to let you go

Answer 8

No! Let go of self and do what is best for the whole..Peace.

Answer 9

Not to bring up any racial tention but we "The South" have already tried that one.
