Though I TOTALLY agree with the petitioners, what they are doing is just STUPID/useless!
If someone REALLY wants their state to succeed, they need to be lobbying their state legislators/governor. When the state intends to succeed, they can then notify the White House and .gov of their decision, and then carry it out.
This is nothing but a big side show/temper tantrum.
Exactly. These petitions are a joke. I don’t even know how you would pursue secession in a serious, credible way, but we sure haven’t seen it yet. Unless a truly viable effort should emerge — as proven by the highest elected officials of some state taking real action towards secession — then conservatives should steer clear of this secession stuff.
