After last week’s election, some people apparently want out. People in over 40 states, including Arkansas, filed a petition to withdraw from the US. UALR Professor of political science, Art English, said it’s hard to tell if it’s strictly Obama’s policies or his race that led to this bold petition. English also said “I think people are very unhappy with the election and I feel that their tax money will be going perhaps to a federal government that will be insensitive to their needs.” Secession is very unlikely and those who are discontent with current policies are being encouraged to use their vote in the midterm elections to make changes.
