    Billboard Wars in Tallahassee: Succeed or Secede?

    By: KEVIN DERBY | Posted: April 17, 2014



    On Wednesday, Florida business and higher education leaders highlighted a new billboard in Tallahassee reading “Succeed Florida!” in opposition to a billboard launched by the League of the South earlier this year urging the Sunshine State to secede from the United States. The League of the South’s billboard is scheduled to come down this week.

    The new billboard is being backed by the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF). The two groups teamed up on Wednesday to showcase a video on the new billboard.



    “There are some who would like to see Florida fail, and even break away from the rest of the country,” said Mark Wilson, the president and CEO of the Florida Chamber. “At the Florida Chamber, we share their frustration with Washington, D.C., but seceding is not the answer.

    Secession is a good thing. All Yankees should be deported from the Free Republic of Florida too. New Yorkers keep coming down and trying to turn Florida into new New York.

    Florida just needs to secede. And North and South Florida should be two independent countries.

    Funny thing is, if New York is so great...why do they even leave?!

    Per the article....The League of the South has
    drawn fire in its two decades of
    existence and has been classified
    as a hate group by the liberal
    Southern Poverty Law Center.
    Equality is a false god.
