Not sure if this goes here, but.... The great State of Jefferson! I want to bring awareness to the citizens of this region because I think we have some unusual times ahead of us and now is a great time to pull together as a community and get this together..seriously. Below is the "Jefferson Proposal" [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKyHjZV4Y6A"]Double Crossed- The State of Jefferson - YouTube[/ame] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(Pacific_state) http://www.jeffersonproposal.org/ http://jeffersonpatriot.ning.com/ and what a better state seal then the double cross! ........Life, Liberty and Property, which is a primary means to pursue Happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the Governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it and to institute new Government.......
In the series of "The States" on the History Channel they talk about the state of Jeffferson, the original one I mean. If it had been created it would have been in the Kansas / Colorado area, but Congress slimmed it down to what is now known as Colorado. There was also the state of Franklin as well, where Davey Crocket was born.
This is an interesting proposal and the series I talked about earlier, "The States", is a great series if anyone is interesting in the history of states forming as well as the History Channel show called "How the States Got Their Shapes".
I'm a huge history buff, love the history channel, I watch it so much it all re-runs now I ran across this proposal not to long ago, because there is a local fight going on right now between the feds and the local police, (Obama & Redding CA) It's getting pretty gamey actually guns drawn and stuff over taking down some dams that the locals farmer depend on, I'll post it here, its a good read.
A rural revolt is brewing http://www.redding.com/news/2011/nov/01/steven-greenhut-a-rural-revolt-is-brewing/
Please do keep us posted. I'm a huge history buff, or rather amateur, and I am also a proponent of State's rights and more importantly the rights of the People. If the People of this area decide to form a new state who are a bunch of bureaucrats to say otherwise.

Sheriffs Stand TALL for the Constitution and Against Environmental Extremism [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4RuWK2Ww-4"]Sheriffs Stand TALL for the Constitution - YouTube[/ame] Uploaded by ReddingPatriots on Oct 29, 2011 Here are eight county sheriffs from Northern CA and Southern OR speaking on at panel at the Defend Rural America event October 22, 2011 in Yreka. Despite the low media coverage there were about 700 people in attendance from all over California, Oregon and as far away as Wyoming. The sheriffs made it perfectly clear that they are the last line of defense for their citizens and given authority by the 10th Amendment.

The History Channel said that the proposal for the State of Jefferson was backed by the aliens that lived there at the time.
of course they would, but hardly a reality, I live in this area and there still isnt a huge "alien" population. This isnt So Cal.
OMG, this water thing is still going on? I hadn't heard much about it in teh news, and I wondered.... I recall hearing they got the water back right before the 2010 elections to help the dems running for election, and that it was taken away soon after....I can't find any cites on that. Is it true?
I saw that episode too. It said that they had a legitimate vote in congress to become an official state but the morning of the vote Pearl Harbor happened. The issue never got rescheduled for a hearing. I thought the topic was actually very very interesting!
Only case of this occuring in history is West Virginia. That was durring the civil war when Unionist counties in the west part of VA set up their own state and Congress approved. They had more in common with PA and OH than they did the rest of VA. This would be a little different as 2 states would be losing territory not one and there is no civil war. Don't think it will happen.
It actually isn't as uncommon as you think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_partition_proposals Although I do share your doubt that it wont happen. Well....most of it. I do think Cali is going to split at some points as the South and the North are so politically divided it isn't even funny.
Sorry to bump this ancient thread but I didnt want to start over with the same sheet. [video=youtube;b9VOjXhvm80]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9VOjXhvm80[/video]
