Showing Original Post only (View all)WH Petition: Respond to un-American, Racist and treasonous calls for State Secession [View all]
Multiple petitions have been started for states to leave the Union. (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions). Texas has about 50K petitions currently. (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/peacefully-grant-state-texas-withdraw-united-states-america-and-create-its-own-new-government/BmdWCP8B )
I wrote a petition that reaffirms some basic American beliefs in Democracy and the rule of law. I need 150 signatures to have it viewable on the White House's website. I would ask that you follow the link below and help me get these signatures. Thank you.

There have been multiple calls for secession from the Union of various States posted on the White Houses We the People website. We petition that the White house respond forcefully to these requests and reaffirm basic American values of democracy and rule of law. This country fought a bloody and costly war over the question of secession and calls for secession should be answered by reaffirming our basic belief in the system of democracy and law we inherited from our forefathers. Calls to undermine this country because of a lawful and democratic election should be denounced by all Americans of any political party or ideology. This is, and should always remain, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
