For certain counties (within respected states) to withdraw from California and Oregon and form the State of Jefferson.

Created by C.H. on November 14, 2012

We as the citizens of the geographic area of northern California & southern Oregon wish to proclaim independence from our respected states to form the 51st state the State of Jefferson as originally attempted in 1941. The state would span from the northern border of Curry, Jackson, & Klamath counties in Oregon to the southern border of Mendocino, Lake, Colusa, Butte, Plumas, & Sierra counties in California. We seek this freedom because we believe that California is to broad & diverse to evenly represent us in the state and federal government forum. Natural resources such as water and timber are abused and do not receive the political attention they deserve. Low income families & small family based business's found here are also neglected. Please grant us our freedoms that is promised to us
