Wish we could do that in Maryland. Let the Obama voters from Baltimore, PG, Howard, and Montgomery Counties go their own way.
Poor Charles County has been invaded by the PG’ers to the point they can never recover.
Northern CA and all of eastern CA, including the Sierras..
I’d move there just to escape the lying socialist traitors running LA, SF and Sacramento...The government ruling class in CA aid and abet and are co-conspirators with the feds...Up to their necks..
*****”Eastern Washington should do this.”*****
Eastern Oregon and Most of California as well.

I love to drive down the I-5 & see the ‘State of Jefferson’ sign on someone’s barn. Maybe the Colorado folks will call their new state Franklin or Hamilton. :-)
It’s smack in the middle of the proposed state of “Jefferson” of the 1860’s, which never came into being.
I would think Thomas Jefferson would probably admire them.
From “Mentalfloss:”
Four regions have been proposed as the State of Jefferson. The first was west of Kansas Territory in 1859. Mining communities in the Rocky Mountains came together and requested the formation of their own potential state, called Jefferson. The Kansas government agreed, setting its proposed borders east of Jefferson’s. Citizens of Jefferson could not agree on a constitution, however, so it became Jefferson Territory (later Colorado Territory) instead.

And East Cauliflowernia, too.
Please include rural southern OR and eastern OR. The new state could be the State of Jefferson, as was proposed years ago. Then from Eugene up to Portland the commies could have their own little state.
Is that still on the barn roof? I haven’t driven down I-5 in quite a few years.
Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1: New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
Given that state and federal legislative consent is needed to do what these counties want to do, I don't see the Democratic-controlled federal Senate wanting to create new seats for likely conservative lawmakers.
What am I overlooking?
I wish them success. And Texas should follow in its entirety.
Yes, they are. Liberals, that is. :-D
Eastern WA and Eastern OR should do this together. We’re both tired of the cities along the I-5 corridor from Salem to Seattle running the states into the ground.
They consistently deny any development of the eastern half of the state while fast tracking it on the west side.
Screw ‘em.
Let this go forward provided the Feds cut loose Texas and admit Puerto Rico.
Just a wild guess...The feds operated outside the Constitution, broke the law repeatedly and so can those in the counties?
I saw eight counties previously listed in other articles and wonder which are the other two.
Thanks! :)
Agreed.
We were down there about a year ago & it was there.
And I even took a picture!
“I say every red county in every state should do this. Isolate the traitors. It would look like a bunch of blue pin chicks on a red background.”
And tell them to provide their own fuel and food! The bastards would starve to death sitting in their cars that have run out of gas! Here in California we could refuse to sell them any marijuana.
