We need to renew the thinking of a State of Jefferson with the conservative counties in Californicator and those in Oregone.
Put in Californicator’s Prop 13 to protect home and business owners and use Oregone’s no retail taxes to protect the little person buying stuff each week to live on.
Fire every teacher, principal and anyone getting a paycheck from a school district. Then put the schools into a business mode.
Ban every public union and declare SEIU members as persona non grata and give them 48 hours to leave the new state.
Ban every non profit in the new state of Jefferson.
Then, repeal every frigging green law that has killed/is killing the lumber industries, ranching, farming, professional fishing and other honest ways to make a living. Give every green commie whacko 24 hours to get out of the state of Jefferson and put a bounty on those, who ignored the get out orders.
Allow any non criminal and sane person 18 and over to carry a gun after a simple firearm safety test is passed like the one we have for new hunters in Californicator land. Then have a two strike law with the exception serious crimes against other. Then, one strike would remove the criminal.
Last but not least, legislators would work from their homes via the internet for free and serve one term of 2 years. There might be no need for a governor after the Terminator and the terrible liberal governors in Oregone.
Then let the left wing liberals left in Califonicator land and Oregone tax themselves into total destruction.
And if the current "State of Jefferson" doesn't want to join in the fun, then lets make a state called "Sierra Republic" made up of "red" voting counties with contiguous boundaries only!!!
Amen, brother, I could live in a state like that.
I have more in common with the rednecks and loggers in Yreka and Northern California than I do with the granola crunching Gaia worshippers in the Tri-County Metro area up North that have destroyed our state.
And yeah, they’ve destroyed logging, too. I used to be a logger and when I came here from North Idaho 25 years ago there were several dozen mills in Southern Oregon, all offering family-wage jobs.
Now we are down to ONE mill in JoCo and they have to buy their timber from California, as there are no timber sales open down here...the enviromentally-deranged fascists file lawsuits against every sale that comes up.
Thanks, Grandpa Dave!
