You’ve enumerated all the positives for the rest of us to cast off the shaded areas of you map, but to make this happen, especially through a statewide intiative, I think you’re going to have to provide some selling points to the other side of the split.
Let them know that they have a real opprotunity to finally create the kind of gov’t they want without all those pesky conservatives in the red counties thwarting their efforts.
Here are some things they could finally acheive without us;
Taxpayer paid abortion on demand
Taxpayer paid embriotic stemcell R&D
Statewide gov’t healthcare
Near complete ban on firearms
Homosexual marriage
Unfettered control of school admin and curricula
These are but a few, but you get the picture.
Oh, BTW, since they will lose a common border with Mexico, we will provide safe passage (via boat, air, etc.) of undocumented persons to their new states.
Dang! You’ve got quite a list going. I’ll have to snag it when the time comes to make the shaded areas want the split.
I had to think long and hard about the border with Mexico. To accomplish that control meant including Imperial County with the larger state despite it being predominately liberal. The population was small enough that the benefits of controlling the border outweighed the risks.
Mexafornia is a result of a state ruled by girlymen and women with snap on tools.
Nobody has to worry about red/rural counties anymore since the 45 year old Warren Court decision called "Cows Don't Vote," or "One Man, One Vote!" We've had "Rural Cleansing" and Taxation With Rotten Representation in all of America's rural counties ever since!!!
