Paul Eckerstrom says he wants to restore the region's credibility as a place that is welcoming to others. He and fellow Tucson attorney Peter Hormel have formed a political committee called Start Our State to explore process of making Pima County a separate state.
The mood of frustration has been "been building for the last couple of years," Eckerstrom said in an interview Tuesday with MSNBC's Tamron Hall. "A lot of folks down here have been very, very frustrated with the extremist policies coming out of our state Legislature.” Anti-immigration bills, education cuts and attempts by conservative lawmakers to "nullify" federal laws prompted the secessionist movement.

Absolutely NO WAY we let the commiecrats get 2 more senators. Deport them to Mexico right now!
Just what we need. Another border state.
They likely came from Iowa or Wisconsin or Minnesota. They live in the miles and miles of trailer homes that cover the area. T
They live in condos and retirement communities.
They are liberal refugees
Idiots, wish they would just go back to Mexico. La Raza is strong in Pima county and Pinal counties. They could really use some good activists and community organizers in Nogales!
Sounds like one too many summers in the desert sun.
Not Baha Arizona a new state called Sonora Norte reporting to Mexico. (Most residents are already citizens!)
No, no, no!
Not "Baja Arizona". If they pull this off it will be "Alta Sonora".
Or maybe "Zetas' Riviera" (first, they need a river...)
“Baja Arizona”?
Why don’t they just call it Aztlan?
Arizona is yet ANOTHER mistake of the 20th Century.
NO WAY!!!!
Arizona is the glory of America! She constitutes the most effective resistance to the evil muslim communist dictator Barack Hussein obama and his vile anti-human czars!!!! She is the inspiration for new points of resistance, like Wisconsin and Ohio.
Jan Brewer, Russell Pierce, and Joe Arpaio are heroes. And no one should want to be “welcoming” to illegals, unassimilable hordes of Third World immigrants, sodomites, and muslims!
Instead of seceding, Pima County should dump the highly embarrassing obamaite dupe Dupnik, and export that bogus new “civility” institute to Michigan. It belongs in Michigan so that it can educate the union goons and thugs in how to behave like human beings instead of australopithecine semi-apes!!!!
Be PROUD of being Arizonans!!!! Even I—a long-displaced Arizonan—am proud of being one!
No she isn’t a “mistake”! Arizona is the glory of America! See my post #12.
I have a better idea ... just give ‘em to Mexico. That’s a win-win-win situation!
Support the great State of Arizona! If you’re near a Trader’s Joe’s, buy TJ’s Whole Wheat Penne, made with Desert Durham Wheat grown in Arizona:

I’ll bet you didn’t know that wheat is grown in Arizona!
I’m getting ready for Orthodox Great Lent, so it is good both to stock up for the Fast and to support Arizona at the same time!
At this point we don’t control parts of Arizona that there is. More likely to become ALTA ARIZONA MEXICO than America
Beware of this and, more importantly, D.C. statehood.
D.C. statehood would give libs 2 more Senators and a rep...it will be a perpetual liberal haven, more so than any liberal state...even Vermont.
The Constitution says no to splitting states. Yes, including West Virginia.
Sorry Dipstiks! America can’t afford another deep blue, nanny state basket case right now. If you really want your communism, move to North Korea.
Until America realizes how much this import of 3rd World Julio's is costing us, we will NEVER right the ship before Blanket Amnesty is ordered, nationwide.
