We The (more) People

     The rules for the White House website that some folks used to petition secession for Alabama and other states have been changed. The number of signatures needed to get an actual response to a petition has been increased to 100,000. So reports the L.A. Times.
      Before that it was 25,000, and that many people signed the petition calling for Alabama to go it alone. Many of those people weren't even Alabamians.
     One of the new petitions calls on the White House to go back to 25,000. What happens if it gathers 100,000 names?
     The only current petition mentioning Alabama is the one calling on states that have not ratified the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to do so.
