If these individuals or groups are serious about secession:
1. You organize a vote in your state to show popular support, and for them to vote to leave the union. You cannot demonstrate a majority or large plurality based on an online petition.
2. You do not ask the federal government for permission. They will not grant it. States must choose to leave. The feds may or may not let them, but asking permission is certain to yield a “No” answer.
3. Publishing your name on a federal list with this regime is a guarantee to be put on a terrorist watch list, do not fly list and “audit them every April” list.
4. Signing such a petition with the feds shows you have no sense or opsec. If serious, you don’t create an online petition and sign it. You put people you don’t like on the list to have the government monitor THEM.
5. Signing such a petition may be deemed sedition or treason. You could end up under the NDAA as a homeland terrorist, seeking to overthrow the federal government.
Signing such a petition cannot legitimately be called Treason, the constitution sets forth a clear definition of treason and this is not it.
