Favor secession? How about deportation?

In response to the anti-Obama petition drives calling for secession in several states, a man from Birmingham, Ala., is collecting petition signatures that call for the deportation of any American who signs a secessionist petition.

The most popular petitions are in Texas (75,000 signatures), Florida (22,000) and Alabama (20,000).
The Texas petition has exceeded the minimum number of signatures needed to trigger an official White House response.
That's because this battle of the petitions is being waged on the White House’s own blog, in the “We The People” section where the public is encouraged to petition the president on key issues.

The counter-attack -- the petitions seeking deportation of secessionists -- was launched earlier today and has so far gathered only 2,600 signatures.
