These need to be stopped as they were created by people who are not content with the way this country is being handled. They have gone forward with their own personal feeling and opened a petition to the entire USA without going through the proper channels.
They need to start with City government, go up the " chain of command", county government, then state government. The people that this decision directly impacts need to have the only say on what action they want their state to take.
After the state decides then open it up to the people in the country. If it passes all those trials first the put it before the US federal government and the President to decide what action to take from there.
Another civil war? Americans killings Americans is not an option. Divided We Fall.
