respectfully ignore all these petitions to secede from the government of the United States.

The election of 2012 was an historic event. These events often generate strong feelings among our population, feelings that do not necessarily regard the majority of the population of any given state, much less the whole country. We, the undersigned, request that you consider these many petitions with a grain of salt. Furthermore, we also request that you offer these folks counseling services free of charge. Put it on our bill. Thank you for your attention to this matter and congratulations to us all on living in free America!
