Wasn’t there a secession movement by the right, also? Divide the state in two. Liberals in the south, so they can live with, and take care of via their own tax money, all of the illegals. Conservatives to the north!

The "State of Jefferson" is a dream that is based upon perceived injustice and the typical American spirit of independence. Its seeds began in California and Oregon Territory around 1850 and the movement reached its zenith in December 1941. However, the state of mind that led to the various incidents related here did not die in 1941 but can still be found today.
The idea of an independent entity made up Northern California and/or Southern Oregon counties has appealed to residents of this area for years. The names proposed have not always been the same, but the basic perception of indifference and neglect from Sacramento and Salem is still with us today.
