Secessionists meeting in Tennessee
By BILL POOVEY, Associated Press WriterWed Oct 3, 3:15 AM ET

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.

That sounds just fine to the League of the South, a conservative group that refuses to give up on Southern independence.

What are the odds that even if a state voted to secede that the federal structure would let them?

phil, I have to think the government would find a way to not allow it. No how, no way!

Pretty much what i thought.......shame though, i honestly feel that the USA would be a much happier place if it were truly a number of smaller countries than what it has become.

Seems to me this has already been tried and it didn't work out very well
