Put it to a referendum, then we'll see.
Amen to that. Louisiana's aren't dumb enough to try to stand on their own. There's too much here supported by the U.S. that they can't live without, like the levees.
Besides, any whackjob pimento can create a petition on that site. Unless it actually came from the state government of either state it's meaningless twaddle and anyone assuming it bears any relation to the actual thoughts and feelings of the states it claims to represent with near negligible votes is an idiot.
If you look at "recent petitions" virtually every state has one now; https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions
