I live in a state with several secession movements, past and present, though we weren't mentioned in the article. Here is a link to one of them:

Southerners aren't alone by any means, and to think of secessionists as only being Southern white male bigots is incorrect. Oregon has been a hotbed of secession movements since it became a state. The funny thing is, the more Bush and Co. screw up in Washington, the more people talk about secession--I've had several discussions about it in recent weeks.
