Of course not. The Leftists/Marxists/Democrats would lose billions in tax revenue. The need that money to continue to coruppt vulnerable children. As Rush used to say “they doin’ it for da C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N or da “CHIDREN.”
In 1995, when I was roaming around Portland, picking up temp jobs, the banter was, “Why can’t the rest of the ztate stop their silliness, and fall in line behind us?”
Tjhe same soft of “ New York City does not run the state, but where would the state be without us?”
looks like a middle finger to the Democrats
There is a precedent when West Virginia seceded from Virginia.
Come to think of it a lot of todays counties of Virginia would be better off joining West Virginia.
The democrats in federal government will never let it happen.
Klamath Falls is not in eastern Oregon. That’s just the author trying to minimize the movement.
If the movement was at all possible, the remainder of Oregon would still have two federal Senators, and the counties leaving Oregon would only keep some portion of the House representatives, which would become Idaho representatives. The better move would be seccession and independence from Oregon, and forming the state East Oregon. East Oregon would get two federal Senators. THAT would be a political gain beyond the mere “breakaway” and join Idaho movement.
Doesn’t that have to pass in Oregon’s state legislature in order for counties to bolt?
Forget Congress, forget the constitution, JUST DO IT!
Very interesting...I wonder if more succession revolts will happen Upstate NY and middle PA as a state...
