Sign me up as a future citizen of Jefferson, Ca.
Seriously - if it ever happens I would strongly consider moving there to help.
Huh? Really? Based on hundreds of past FReeper comments, California should be nuked by North Korea or slide into the Pacific due to a cat 9 earthquake... to hell with 15,000,000,000 conservatives living in this state, including the founder and owner of Free Republic. Based on their stereotype, even Clint Eastwood is a raving Moonbat like our Governor, Jerry Brown.
The State of Jefferson project is going on way up in God's country--Yreka, Weed, Tule Lake, Alturas, etc. Down here, we have to make do in Jerry Brown's worker's paradise.
Jefferson, CA would still be California. The movement is
to make a new state out of counties in Northern California.
Jefferson is the working name of that movement. My
preference would be to keep the name California and allow
the southern portion of the former California to be
named North Mexico which seems to suit a majority of
the citizens. All conservatives from what was once SoCal
or the Inland Empire would be welcome in the low
tax/low regulation new state of California. However,
they would be stronly encouraged to leave behind all
traces of Dodger blue.
No Lee, the new state would be Jefferson. So it could be Redding, Jefferson or Redbluff, Jefferson. They would not be connected with Ca.
I already live in the heart of what we hope to call someday THE GREAT STATE OF JEFFERSON.
