(WTXL) - A petition for the United States to sell Montana to Canada to reduce the national debt is picking up momentum online. 

First Coast News reports the petition, which is meant to be lighthearted, has at least 6,744 signatures since it was created last week.  

Sitting at just above $22 trillion, selling Montana for $1 trillion would not eliminate the national debt, but it's a humorous proposal.
