WestVirginiaRebel Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yahoo News: SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Residents of California's largely rural, agrarian and politically conservative far northern counties long ago got used to feeling ignored in the state Capitol and out of sync with major urban areas. The idea of forming their own state has been a topic among local secession dreamers for more than a century. Residents in two counties will have a chance to voice that sentiment next week. Voters in Del Norte and Tehama, with a combined population of about 91,000, will decide June 3 on an advisory measure that asks each county's board of supervisors to join a wider effort to form a 51st state named Jefferson. Elected officials in Glenn, Modoc, Siskiyou and Yuba counties already voted to join the movement. Supervisors in Butte County will vote June 10, while local bodies in other northern counties are awaiting the June 3 ballot results before deciding what to do. A similar but unrelated question on the primary ballot in Siskiyou County asks voters to rename that county the Republic of Jefferson. "We have 11 counties up here that share one state senator," compared to 20 for the greater Los Angeles area and 10 for the San Francisco Bay Area, said Aaron Funk of Crescent City, a coastal town in Del Norte County near the Oregon border. "Essentially, we have no representation whatsoever." ________ Hmmm...would Jerry Brown pull a Putin on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I recall back in the 70's people were talking about this. Back in the early 80's there was a book written called The Nine Nations Of North America A bit dated but still well worth the time spent. Look At California.

Secessionists formally launch quest for California’s independence The Yes California group has been around for more than two years, Evans said. It is based around California taxpayers paying more money to the federal government than the state receives in spending, that Californians are culturally different from the rest of the country, and that national media and organizations routinely criticize Californians for being out of step with the rest of the U.S. http://faustasblog.com/2016/11/upcoming-attraction-adding-a-new-country-to-the-carnival-of-latin-america-and-the-caribbean/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
