Secession Is The Answer

The Modoc County Board of Supervisors today voted to join neighboring Siskiyou County in its bid to secede from the State of California.

Board Chairman Geri Byrne said a measure to join the push to form a State of Jefferson was approved by a vote of 4-0, with one supervisor absent.

“I put the measure on the agenda because I heard from a number of people in my district that wanted to do such,” Byrne said. “We’re not saying we’re seceding today, we’re saying let’s look into it.”

Roughly 40 people turned out for the board meeting, Byrne said a standing-room only crowd in the Modoc County chambers. About a dozen spoke in favor of the measure with only two raising objections.

“This is going to have to be something the people bring forward,” Byrne said. “It’s going to have to be from the bottom up, not from the top down.”

The move makes Modoc the second county to join in the fight to form the State of Jefferson in less than a month. Siskiyou County passed a measure to start the secession process at the supervisor’s Sept. 3 meeting.

Mark Baird, a spokesperson for the Jefferson Declaration Committee, said the group hopes to have a dozen counties commit their support before asking California legislators to allow the formation of the new state.

“California is essentially ungovernable in its present size,” Baird said. “We lack the representation to address the problems that affect the North State.”

“We’re looking for 12 counties, though we can certainly do it with less,” he said.

Residents in northern California moved in early September to form their own state separate from the Golden State, specifically citing the need for local control, smaller government and gun rights in their formal declaration of secession. It’s part of a growing number of movements across the United States that not only seek to break away from oppressive state governments but even to leave the U.S. entirely.*

On September 3, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors took the first step in a long journey aimed at withdrawing from the state of Calif. The Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in support of a citizen-led initiative “to commence the Constitution’s Article 4, section 3 process of carving out a new state from an existing state just like the state of Maine was created out of the state of Massachusetts,” Supervisor Marcia Armstrong told this reporter. -

this will not happen,.. for the simple reason of liberal control...

with a new state would be two new senators and one representative.. and modern precedence.. followed by many new states seeking to rid themselves of city states that control the rural areas..

eventually (or about 5 states later) the senate control would shift permanently..

so it will never happen..

Well, it would balance us out at 58 states. :roll:

Maybe Obama saw the future and realized his divisiveness would cause the breakup of several states.. :shock: :? :???:

we have two already.. Northern Colorado,.. Northern California..

I think South Jersey would be a nice little state.. We could keep the casinos and they could have Christie..

Upstate New York.. is a nice place to visit .. and would make a nice state.. Just carve out a few of the large cities and they would do fine..

I realize the others would probably be a red state just kicking out a liberal city or two.. :lol: but the result would be the same..

The Electoral College has postponed for years the big city's ability to elect Presidents up until now, but that time has almost passed.

I'm afraid with people like OT voting, there is little hope for America as we once knew it. :mad:
