Yeah its not gonna happen. For one thing they’ve got to have enough population to get the same representation in DC as the rest of us.

I'm not sure that that's an issue...at least not a *Constitutional* issue.Each state is entitled to two US Senators and at least one Representative.The lack of support,I suspect,would come from the Party that would likely be *hurt* by the new state's existence,as well as the state legislature of the states that support that Party (California,Rat Party...Idaho,Republican Party for example).

think about delaware ... 2 senators, 1 representative. if we can get two more conservative senators, that would be great. actually, if we could get a total of two legitimately conservative senators (cruz is the only one i can think of), that would be great.

...they’ve got to have enough population...

District of Columbia 632,323
Vermont 626,011
Wyoming 576,412

...counties in western Nebraska and Kansas, which have expressed interest in joining the effort.

Offer 40 acres to conservative homesteaders and there might just be a huge influx of like minded people from the rest of the country.

Hey, if Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh can do it in Oregon and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Iowa?
