Cali/ Oregon Proposed State of Jefferson

The proposal here has been rejected for unknown reason. As someone who lives in the area of Red in cali on the coast. We could Benefit from this. Idk what the laws would be or look like but i know we definitely wouldn’t be treated at such high rates of inflation, povery, gas prices.

Not to mention, we have Native Reservations Here that have Casinos with gas for 4.05-4.15$ all other places are 5.10-5.70$ each gallon. That’s the difference of filling to full with 45$ or 60$.

Minimum wage is 15.50$ in cali and 14.50$ in oregon. The average 1 bed, 1bath is 1,250$. Not all jobs around here offer full 40 hour weeks. You can work at Pelican Bay State Prison and get paid to be traumatized and your work injury’s being treated like shit.

I’m 19 and rather not live in california. I’d rather move somewhere i know a bit and stay away from here. Everyone says we have a “sickness” of drama and so much more.

I need it to happen now😤

Heads up

Something's up, and my intuition and instinct are telling me to declare a Temporary Autonomous Zone, and I'm "holding" Sonoma, Marin, SF county, and Alameda county in a figurative community common resource trust.

No one will profit from this, this is just to keep the land in local hands in case of occupation, which I frankly smell on the wind.

Whether statehood is in the future for Jefferson or not;

We should all pursue the following changes to CA’s house. Each county gets a senator &

Assembly representation is 1 assembly person per 100,000 residents.

The current arbitrary split of “40 state senators & 80 assembly” makes 0 sense & plays in to the hands of progressives keeping & maintaining control.

A state senator per county EMPOWERS the counties & keeps big counties like LA county & the Bay Area from running roughshod over the state.

One assembly seat / 100k residents provides for some majority rule.

I'm talking about real, practical impact on you, your family, way of life, business etc. If yes, then how so? You can comment here or email me directly at dana.c@awfullynice.co Kindly, Dana

Really, are we going to just sit here?

After the absolute shitshow that has been the wildfires in Plumas and Butte Counties for the last few years, why aren't we organising daily at the state capitol? We really need to stand up for ourselves because nobody else is going to. Unless something changes soon, the ghosts of Greenville and Paradise and Berry Creek will be joined by ALL of our communities before the decade is out.

State of Jefferson counties need to start electing people that will stop our water from being shipped south

This is an extreme drought year and we have Assembly representatives like James Gallagher supporting the Sites Reservoir. This cannot stand. We need to start primarying these people and replace them with people that will fight to protect our water.

For the record Garamendi and La Malfa are cosponsors of this bill which is a good start https://garamendi.house.gov/media/press-releases/garamendi-introduces-bill-transfer-orland-project-local-ownership-and-control?fbclid=IwAR1DHAwcXvD8l3NHWdpQZGvP9sjh_YCPNxbIMNbm59OflpGjr_G2wjrpBgg

Voters in Eastern Oregon (Sherman, Lake, Grant, Baker and Malheur counties) voted for ballot measures that would lead to them becoming Idahoans.

People in Union and Jefferson counties had already voted in favor during the November election. In Lake County, 74.64% of voters voted in support of having its County Board of Commissions hold a meeting regarding secession to Idaho. In Grant (62.17%) and Malheur (54.25%) Counties, the County Court is required to have a meeting on secession. In Sherman County (62.26%) the County will be responsible. Neither the Oregon, nor CA state legislatures, which are controlled by dems, would allow the State of Jefferson to exist. For counties to secede from states, the plan must be ratified by the legislatures of the states in which they are seceding from, as well as the federal congress. Thus, the more plausible choice is for conservative counties of Oregon, Washington, and CA is to join the Greater State of Idaho.

Let's Get to Work

I've been going through different avenues currently, and I believe I want to start here.

I'm looking on here for people who truly have an opportunity to become active for this movement in the field. I think having a stable environment away from the extremely politicized facebook groups and such is crucial as a starting point.

Community Activism

Considering the current leadership of the movement is taking it nowhere, and even harming it quite a bit, I believe we should start getting folks together to help with activism in our communities. Whether it be with helping those, or spreading the word of the movement.

Why is Sutter County not in Jefferson?

I know a long time ago the Official State of Jefferson website had Sutter County included in the movement, but about a year ago the website page doesn't include Sutter County anymore. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Sutter County or why they aren't included anymore?

It seems like now would be a good time for the state of Jefferson to declare its sovereignty.
