That issue was settled in the war between the states, also known as the Civil War.

Yeah thats what one would think! Some guys where I work were talking about it the other day and said there was like 10,000 people in Alaska that signed it! My thoughts were we would seceed and probably get taken over by russia ha ha ha It is an interesting topic!

Union with Canada....free medical!

Supreme Court ruled on this subject a while ago that "the Union is forever binding" or some such. So no bueno. Unconstitutional. Seems to go kind of counter to the life, liberty and persuit of happiness bit. It would take nothing short of winning a one state civil war with the US. Count me in, all my permits are State.
