On Thursday, Modoc and Siskiyou counties in California, adjacent to Oregon, formally requested state officials to allow them to secede from the state and form a new state to be called Jefferson, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The two counties’ governments directly petitioned the secretaries of the state Assembly and Senate after they had already submitted a petition to the secretary of state asserting that they weren’t represented strongly enough in the state.
Mark Baird organized a rally at the state capitol that drew 70 supporters with flags and T-shirts displaying two X’s and a coiled snake that said “State of Jefferson. Don’t tread on me.” He told the supporters of secession that if they succeeded, as many as 10 counties in the state “would be free to create a small state with limited government… We don’t need government from a state telling people in a county what to do with their resources and their children’s education. You are better equipped to educate your children than the state or federal government.”

I’m sure Gov. Moonbeam will address this first thing Tuesday morning.
Number 1 source of income Weed
Number 2 source of income Lumber
They should have done this right and gotten few more counties involved.
Looks like the flag from Chaplin’s The Great Dictator aka “the sign of the double cross”
If they secede from the U.S. I’ll move there.
Billy, Did you ever see the movie Deliverance?
Does George and Weezie know about this?!?!?

I can deal (SSS Protocol) with inbred cornholers and their 15 cousins. Can’t deal with communists and their billions of soldiers, tanks, gulags and show trials.
Hope they secede the bleeding f*ck away from CA.
Excellent. Now it can slide into the ocean in bite sized chunks.
J Frank,
You will find anything north of Sacramento, and anything inland of Sacramento is as conservative as gets. We have a couple super populated cities that dictate policy to us. Kinda of like a minature United States of America. These two counties that are trying to split jumped the gun. There’s a bunch of counties, actually every county, north of Sacramento is attempting it. These guys jumped the gun and I think iy would of been a lot better if everybody would have filed at the same time. It probably still would have got shot down because we have the water. Anyway, that’s California. Hell, the shooting my start here first. I visit gun shops as far north as Orville and some of those boys seem good to go.

Dos Equis?
Good luck with that.
I live in eastern Shasta County and everyone but a few Prius driving, Obama voting, Moonbeam loving, weed tokin Libtards want out of California.
And you gotta love it when San Fran Cisco and L.A. mock us leaving, but have already started plans to steal our ground water. Huh!
Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado have been wanting to this for a long time.
Topeka/Kansas City & Denver/Colorado Springs don’t represent us. They just want to control our food, fuel, and water.
Read the constitution; Article IV, section 3; a new state cannot be created without the consent of the legislature of the state(s) involved and of congress. Not bloody likely in California. Or Oregon. Unfortunately.
