Residents sick of Oregons Democrat politicians want to redraw state boundaries
Oregon residents who are fed up with the states Democrat politicians threatening their Constitutional rights are proposing a secession movement that would have over a dozen counties join the neighboring state of Idaho.
Six counties in northern California would join the conservative Oregon counties in redistricting to Idaho, according to a website promoting the measure.
The group, Move Oregons Border for a Greater Idaho, is gaining traction with multiple counties, allowing voters to weigh in on the proposal and possibly even getting the measure on the ballot in November.
Were picking up momentum. It takes a lot of oomph to get something like this started. I call it a peaceful revolution, one of the groups leaders Mike McCarter said.
Rural counties have become increasingly outraged by laws coming out of the Oregon Legislature that threaten our livelihoods, our industries, our wallet, our gun rights, and our values, McCarter continued. We tried voting those legislators out, but rural Oregon is outnumbered and our voices are now ignored. This is our last resort.
The Republican leader in the state Senate, Sen. Herman Baertschiger, supports the idea and told CNN hed even help write the secession legislation.
Democrats should be paying attention to how unhappy these Oregonians are with the current regime to seek secession from Oregon. I would welcome the idea to serve on the Greater Idaho legislature! he said.
Rep. Gary Leif, a Republican in the Oregon House of Representatives, has a poster of the Greater Idaho map hanging in his office.
The Greater Idaho would then be the only West Coast state that is a conservative red coastal state. We would then truly be representing conservative values with rural constituents, Leif explained.
A website for Greater Idaho cites economic restrictions, attacks on religious liberty and infringements on citizens Second Amendment rights as reasons for the movement.
A similar movement is taking place in Virginia as Democrat politicians in the state continue passing anti-Second Amendement legislation prompting calls for counties secede and join the more conservative West Virginia.
They seceded from the federal Union. This is different. They want to join Idaho and live in nearby states. The UN Charter gives us self-determination. Ditto some counties in Virginia want to join West Virginia.
I was wondering since I worked at Mary Ann Bakery in Chicago as a young man. Much of the help were Greeks and that is how I learned to swear in Greek. LOL
I should have checked on that first. Turns out to be a Russian phrase. LOL
I was in Shore Galleries in Lincolnwood, Illinois once upon a time. There happened to be a Russian fellow in there looking at pistols. I only talked with him briefly. He wanted to exercise his constitutional right to own a firearm. He did not say where he lived, but I bet it was on north side of Chicago where quite a few Jews were located. I did not ask his religious preferences. ;)
Yeah, supposed to be the best I can remember. I think it's pronounced sooka blee-AT.
One of my Slav buddies sent me a Russian ushanka for Xmas with the old USSR hammer & sickle on it. Thought about prying it off until Bernie's commie dumbass squad started talking gulags for folks like me.
First time I wore it in public, somebody said "Oh, I see you're from Canada." LOL!
Calgon, take me away! The hat's damn warm, BTW. I like it.
