How about an online petition to sell Texas to Mexico? [View all]

Last edited Tue Nov 13, 2012, 06:16 PM - Edit history (1)

Change.org is now letting anyone and everyone use their petition platform, plus there is a petition out there with over 60,000 signatures calling for Texas to secede.

Hey, if Texas wants out then we may as well get something out of it.

I suggest our asking price to be 3 Mexican jumping beans, but we would settle for 2.

Edit To Add: I don't expect to actually sell Texas to Mexico, only to make a statement about how insane the idea of secession is.
