State sucession movements

 Newsweek - New Hampshire joined an increasingly lengthy list of states that have launched their own secession movements this week. The New Hampshire Independence Movement, or NHEXIT, said it rejects the overreach of the federal government and is committed to making New Hampshire a "free, independent and prosperous nation," in an announcement this week.  "There are 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. and they are responsible for dragging the nation to the brink of bankruptcy. Not only that, but they are siphoning money out of taxpayers' wallets every year, trampling on the rights of New Hampshire citizens," Carla Gericke, the organization's leader, said in a statement. "We must take back our government and work to guarantee the protection of the rights and basic necessities of New Hampshire residents."  Several other states have also launched their own independence movements. While Texas's TEXIT political push might be the most well-known, California, Alaska, Louisiana, and Florida have similar movements pushing for secession from the United States.
