A town in California has declared itself a “constitutional republic,” independent of executive orders issued by the federal or state governments, in protest of lockdowns, mask mandates and compulsory vaccinations.
Appearing on Fox News, Oroville California’s vice-mayor Scott Thomson outlined the move, noting “I was sitting at City Hall, and the mandates continue to come. As you know it started with ‘two weeks to stop the—slow the curve,’ and it just seems like a carrot keeps being dangled in front of our faces of just a little more… and it seems like every mandate that comes down, it is a loss of freedom.”
Thomson compared Oroville’s move to that of San Francisco declaring itself a ‘sanctuary city’.
“We’re a constitutional republic, and wanna declare that,” Thompson urged, clarifying “We’re not separating from California, but we’re just reminding the higher-ups in other cities we need to stand up for our rights. We still are a constitutional republic, which means we have rights endowed by our ‘creator,’ and our founders created a republic, which was genius, to separate powers.”
The vice-mayor further explained, “I believe that worldwide, but especially in California, that the very fabric of our nation is at a crossroads of how much authority we’ll let the government have,” comparing the struggle to a war.
“I don’t believe that anybody wins when the government has more authority,” Thompson emphasised, adding and “every time that you lose freedom, usually it takes bloodshed to get it back.”
“We’re getting threats of loss of money for our city, but for us, and especially for me, they can have their money; we want freedom in California, we want freedom in Oroville, and so that’s what we’re standing up for,” Thompson further urged.

I live realticely near by .after this, I promise never to call “Butte County.” Where Oroville is, “Butt County” ever again
Oroville is a great city. Lots of churches there—my best friend lives there. Kudos to them—they are brave to announce they won’t comply. Many other cities are the same in CA, but they are quieter about it. Not sure which is the best strategy. . .but this all only ends when we all end it.
For all you hand- and reloaders, Oroville is home to RCBS.
The political death of democrats, communists and other globalists was sealed the minute they decided to use gangster tactics.
Think of it as one of those slow cancers that takes a little bit longer to kill.
Oh my, do they ever have a huge amount of FEMA money (something like $308 million) to return to the Federal Government for its funding of repairs for the Oroville Dam after the disaster up there. Considering that I don’t think there are diplomatic relations yet or any foreign development assistance regime or disaster grants set up as of yet between the United States of America and the Republic of Oroville.
Idiots.

I wish them luck. We need lots more of this all across the country.
