The succession folks are overwhelmingly outnumbered - and unlike the British, the United States government would be fighting at home, with ample civilian support.
Do you remember how long of a time frame Iraq held out when the US invaded? Not very long... and they had a military with armor...
The belief that a revolution of any sort will be successful in the US anytime soon exists in fantasy alone.
I highly doubt it, since historian's best estimates put the proportion of white male loyalists somewhere between 15-20%, with the patriots that actively supported the revolution estimated at roughly 40-45% (possibly slightly higher).
Adams at the time considered the patriots to be two-thirds of the population, struggling against the other third.
Consider that the amount of signatures on the succession is simply a small fraction of 1%... we are talking - keep the zeros coming - fraction..... I doubt they could win a major battle against civilians that disagree with them, let alone the US military.
So you see, the movement is nowhere near as strong or popular as the American Revolution, and the realistic chance of success is miniscule.
I agree with Ron Paul though on the point that although we do not need succession, treason/exile is ridiculous.
