Title: Rural Coloradans to vote on breaking away as 51st state
Post by: Pandora on August 21, 2013, 04:55:12 AM
Could this be the beginning of the reorganization of the States?

You’ve got North Carolina and North Dakota, so why not Northern Colorado? (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/19/colorado-counties-vote-forming-new-state/?page=all#pagebreak)

Quote
Voters in several rural Colorado counties will be asked whether they want to form a new state tentatively named Northern Colorado in the November election, a reaction to the Democrat-controlled state legislature’s “war on rural Colorado.”

... Known for its agriculture and oil and gas production, Weld is the largest of the Colorado counties exploring a break with the state after the legislature’s sharp turn to the left with bills restricting access to firearms and doubling the state’s renewable-energy mandate for rural areas.

Cheyenne, Sedgwick and Yuma counties will place the referendum on the fall ballot and three others are considering doing so.

So, leaving Boulder out, wise move, liberal universities cause towns to be infested with liberals, best cut the whole county off to rot!   ::thumbsup::

I wish them luck.  I can't see why they wouldn't.  It's also good for the rest of us, sending two Senators to the Senate of good character.

I see this as a largely symbolic vote, but I wish them well. It's a mighty strong statement.

It'll only be real if they do things like refuse to take Colorado money, elect a new governor and legislature, create a National Guard/Militia, refuse to allow Colorado state police jurisdiction, create new laws that contradict Colorado law, and then enforce them, with teeth.

THAT will get me excited.

It could only be symbolic as the stuttering fail would have the final say if Northern Colorado were to become reality.

As it is the County Sheriffs have already filed a law suit and told the Legislature they will not enforce  the new gun laws .  - and in Durango you had one strip the Natl park rangers of their authority  to enforce them.  We all know they won't let a new State Form, but its part of exhausting all peaceful avenues before you start shooting, Just like the Continental congress tried to do with Parliament.  The Tyrants always refuse.  One of the libtard  comments said "there will be nor war because there won't be a war"  - I am sure that the same was said before the Revolutionary War and the First Civil war.  Those in power are always just sure that no one would dare stand against them. After all they could die ( ask a Liberal if they would lay down their life to get what they want- they will tell you nothing is worth that. The Very idea that  anyone would is completely foreign to them. )

But at this point there  just isn't any choice. It will be war or we  surrender our rights and our liberty.

Agreed.  Preliminaries need to proceed, markers set drawing lines and establishing the chain of abuses (which is already fricken way long!)...the unavoidable is coming, time to prepare for it...avoiding it won't make it go away.
