State Leaders also stepped up to join the petition against the Bundy's. 
 
"It's time for all the Bundy's and their followers to go to jail before their lawlessness create more lawlessness and this spirals out of control," said District 15 Assemblyman Elliot Anderson. 
 
KTNV reached out to Cliven Bundy and were the first to tell him about the petition. 
 
"We always say-- well I'm not sure who the criminal is in the Bundy stand off and in the Oregon thing, it's the same thing. Who is the criminal there?" Bundy said.
