The States cannot get away with this, but I honestly believe this is the answer to our problems. To start anew.

guess there are other people that think the same. Did a little research the US constitution does not say that it's not illegal.

Can't believe WV didn't put in a petition. Seems like something we'd be in favor of....

I was surprised to see that Jersey did. I'm all for it.

I think it'd truly be great because this nation is so polarized. We not disagreeing over just one issue (like slavery in the civil war) but all kinds of them.

Are we sure this is even a good idea? Honestly in the long term this election has so little effect on me its not funny. Normally it would have and I am not sure why my focus has shifted but it has. I think we have bigger problems coming and honestly who is in charge is probably not going to lessen them much. We cannot stay this divided forever. I don't know how to get to a common ground where people can talk and listen without things blowing up but pointless petitions are not going to improve the situation.

If you look at the site for all the petition. It seem you can just about petition anything.
