Nobody is going to take a petition seriously. If a million people start marching on state capitols and legislators start actually drafting legal-looking provisions for how this would happen, then... maybe.
But until then, people have to realize the magnitude of what this would mean in 21st century America. You have to actually be fed up enough to divorce yourself from the lifeline that has been crafted to Washington over the past 100+ years. This is not for the faint-of-heart... and it's because we're that squishy that we've gotten into this mess in the first place.
It would take millions that in each state to force such a thing happen. But we can't even get that many people off their posteriors to go vote out the menace... and that's the easy thing to do. So of course we deserve this government: we're too lazy for anything else that's actually accountable.
If it outs phony's like Bletch, I am for these petitions.
