FOX NEWS - A petition to label the anti-Trump group "Antifa" a terrorist organization sped past the requirement of 100,000 signatures needed to get a response from the White House.
The petition says Antifa's "violent actions in multiple cities and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers throughout the United States" earns it the terrorist designation.
"It is time for the pentagon to be consistent in its actions," the petition reads. "Just as they rightfully declared ISIS a terror group, they must declare AntiFa a terror group – on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety."

I rarely sign any petitions, because I think they are as worthless as protesting. However I signed this one!

The petition that was started just this past Thursday has already surpassed it's goal of 100,000 required signatures. As of this post the amount of signatures has risen to 145,000.
Terrorism is defined as “the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims”. This definition is the same definition used to declare ISIS and other groups, as terrorist organizations. AntiFa has earned this title due to its violent actions in multiple cities and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers throughout the United States. It is time for the pentagon to be consistent in its actions – and just as they rightfully declared ISIS a terror group, they must declare AntiFa a terror group – on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety.

Looks like the tides are finally turning, this wave of hysteria is about to crash. The silent majority has had enough.

Don't.
Let's reserve that term for people who behead innocent people, fly planes into towers, release gas in the subway, bombs buildings, or who roast people - children and adults alike - alive in cages above roaring fire.
I want people to think of the horrors of the above, not the douchebags who push and shove and perhaps punches people in the face while yelling mean things, when I mention terror and terrorists.
Don't diminish the horrific actions of (what I perceive to be) *real* terrorists by putting them in the same category as antifa.
Just don't.

You should state in your OP that this is a news item. You could link to a news site, as there are several that are covering this.
Otherwise, you are running the risk of this post getting deleted by ATS because it is against the rules to solicit petition signers (which this could be construed as).
