Eastern Oregon once again trying to join Idaho

[DigitalDrifter]

I would vote "YES" in a heartbeat!

'Move Oregon's Border for a Greater Idaho' movement to go on ballot in May

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Tired of living in a blue state, some Oregonians want to change the map to join Idaho.

They say they want to maintain their rural values and join a Republican majority state.

If approved, Southern and Eastern Oregon, as well as the Northernmost part of California would join the Gem State.

Last year, Greater Idaho, succeeded in getting petitions approved for circulation in two Oregon counties.

Eastern Washington could do the same.

Eastern Washington could do the same.

Yes they could, in fact the new border would include a bit of California.
Eastern Washington should join the move.

And the inland valley of CA....

Which they will, of course, fail at.

It's an uphill battle for sure.
Even if voters went for it, Oregon, Idaho, and California legislatures would have to go along with it, then the U.S. congress would have to approve.

If the left has their way, they will just give it all back to the Natives to control.

 

[MisterBeale]

. . . which really? The left wouldn't know what they are doing. I think most rural Natives, other than environmental policy, tend to be more conservative. If I remember right, they served in greater number in the military than any other ethnicity.

So, giving them control over the land would probably back fire, at least it would revoke control from the bureaucracy in D.C.

BYU and Utah will still beat Boise State.

Are people free to determine such things or do the various governments own us?

 

[theHawk]

I think every county in blue states not occupied by a big blue shithole city wants to leave.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Which they will, of course, fail at.

If they want to go why not let them?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Which they will, of course, fail at.

If they want to go why not let them?

I never said they shouldn't be able to. I said they will fail, 100%

 

[Concerned American]

I would vote "YES" in a heartbeat!

I wouldn't be opposed to ID absorbing the eastern half of WA as well.

I agree but my question stands. Is it poor precedent?

The latter.

I think every county in blue states not occupied by a big blue shithole city wants to leave.

That would be a way we could divide the country.
Draw a line between all large cities across the country, call this 'Liberal Utopia Land'.
The rest can simply be 'America'.
