Make Chicago the 51st state, separating IL from Cook County.

Created by J.S. on March 21, 2013

Create legislation dividing Illinois and Cook County into separate states because the two hold wildly different views on politics, economics, gun control, and values just to name a few. The large population of Cook County drowns out the voices of the much larger area of the state of Illinois, which too often do not share a common view. In addition, the liberal mindedness combined with the crooked ways of the Chicago Political Machine are driving the state deeper and deeper into debt, with no sign of change coming soon.
