“Paul’s comments resurfaced as a petition for Texas secession on the White House’s website received over 81,000 signatures, far surpassing the threshold for the Obama administration to respond. Petitions for other states, including Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, have racked upwards of 20,000 supporters. Texas Governor Rick Perry, whose 2009 comment on secession was the impetus for Paul’s video, clarified Tuesday that he does not stand behind the petition.”
