That’s about 16 so far. Could be a formidable coalition.
I believe the Free states should include Break new away states, Like East Oregon Aka “Jefferson” and North Nevada Aka “Washo,” As well as East California Aka “Sunkissed”
Maybe they need a declaration of Independence? A contract with the Citizens as to why they need to form and what they want. BUT, be warned. The Federals will get support from Canada, Mexican Cartels and Red China. Who would support the Free States?
