Northern California County votes to secede, form new state called “Jefferson”

Liberty in California?

“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” -US Declaration of Independence

In a nearly unanimous vote, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted overwhelmingly in favor of secession from the state of California and to form a new state named Jefferson. They are inviting residents of neighboring Oregon and adjoining Californian towns to abandon their homes and join them in a venture to cast off the shackles of “regulation, restriction of rights, lack of representation, regionalism and restoration of limited government.”

From the Times-Standard:

”We have to have government that’s local, understands our issues and has empathy” for those affected, said Mark Baird, a Scott Valley rancher who’s also president for Scott Valley Protect Our Water and vice president of the Siskiyou Water User’s Association. Baird is leading the charge to form a new state from rural counties in Northern California and Southern Oregon, though he certainly wasn’t the only voice in support of the move.

More than 100 people packed the supervisors’ chambers Tuesday for the discussion on whether the county should issue a declaration that it wants to secede from the state. Nearly all those in attendance appeared to be for the move and about a dozen spoke in support of it.

”Many proposed laws are unconstitutional and deny us our God-given rights,” said Gabe Garrison of Happy Camp. “We need our own state so we can make laws that fit our way of life.”

What do you think? Is secession a viable option?

The Libertarian Republic addressed that question here.

CA L A I live here and there isn't a law in sight.

There are though millions of demanding, angry, violent, spoiled and always pregnant Mexicans.

Always in other people yards stealing what is NOT theirs.

But their problem is they think everything IS theirs.

They are the most primitive, twisted, unpleasant animal abusers I've ever come across.

I have 2 disabilities and all my resources have been cut or have disappeared.

The owner pays probably $5 an hr. to these illegal guys who come in the yard to " work ".

They have kids in Mexico and get enough of everything to buy brand new trucks.

Can't speak one word of English or read road signs. I've been in three hit and runs caused by illegals.

Meanwhile I can't even get to my Drs. appointments. One of my disabilities is a severe spondy caused by the accidents.

The Drs. told me if I don't do P T I'll be a paraplegic but for p t I need 30 rides. It's been three years and I'm

still saving rides.

Once the incompetent piece of #&**@! is out of office all freebees and checks need to be stopped immediately.

I couldn't give a crap what color anyone is.

I have NEVER met such jealous losers in my whole life.

People TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!
