Actually they most definitely did try to petition the King for redress of grievances...and only after that failed time and time again, did he...shoot them.

These petitions ask for these states to be allowed to leave "Peacefully"...of course this will go nowhere, and I doubt the White House will even address this seriously, but if it makes people feel better to show their displeasure with the massive amounts of "Voter Fraud" and Many Many other grievances, so be it...
