On The Ballot in May: Oregon Counties To Vote To SECEDE (Escape) From Oregon and Join “Greater Idaho”

32

This is getting interesting. The movement proposes to add fifteen conservative rural Oregon counties to Idaho to escape the left-wing madness.

Wallowa County Clerk announces Greater Idaho is on the ballot

The Wallowa County Clerk notified the Greater Idaho movement today that it has submitted enough valid signatures to force its ballot initiative onto the May 2023 Wallowa County ballot.  She awarded the initiative a measure number: 32-007.

So far, eleven eastern Oregon counties have voted for the movement’s ballot measures. The movement proposes to add fifteen conservative rural counties to Idaho by convincing the state legislatures of Oregon and Idaho to move their common state line. The purpose of the initiatives is to show state legislators that voters want them to begin talks with Idaho to move the border, according to the movement’s website greateridaho.org .

Matt McCaw, the movement’s spokesman, said “eastern Oregon is mostly ranchland, and Portland is not. It doesn’t make sense for these two cultures to be dictating policy to each other. Portland voters forced a gun control measure on the whole state, although eastern Oregon voters almost defeated it. And then an eastern Oregon judge blocked it. His injunction might stand for a couple years while he decides the case.  If Oregon had let Grant and Harney counties go when they requested to join Idaho, then their judge wouldn’t have blocked an Oregon measure.”

McCaw called on the new President of the Oregon Senate, Rob Wagner, to allow a hearing on their bill in January. The bill, SJM 2, invites Idaho to begin talks with Oregon on the potential of moving the border. A January 2022 SurveyUSA poll showed that 68% of northwestern Oregon voters thought that the Oregon Legislature should hold hearings on the idea, and only 20% were opposed.

Your “commie madhouse” comment is exactly right. The younger folks have no idea what communism, marxism, socialism really means.

Hopefully if they do secede, Idaho does not become Blue. That would be devastating.

Not all those fleeing California bring their politics with them, have two families in my neighborhood that moved here, and one of the first things both of them asked me was where was the best place to buy a firearm.
Both of them during the 2020 election had Trump flags in their yards.
BTW, one of the families consists of a preacher his wife and their young daughter.

Be careful what you ask for is all I’ll say. Idaho is under a lot of pressure from escaping Californians, and not in a good way.

They are fleeing because their insurance is paying millions for burnedout/washedout/lasered from space, real estate. They get to replace that with 500,000 houses that are bigger than what they had, and live in the luxury of the rest of what they got for their houses.

i’m from Texas. the only state in this country that was an independent country for 9 years. i think Texas should secede and take whatever other red states want to join. we have everything we need here in Texas. but i would assume the government would withhold your social security when you retire. i don’t know how we would get around that problem. and joe biden hates Texas.

When I was forced transferred to Texas in the 80’s I remember many Texans wanting it to become an independent nation, but when the oil industry went south these same people were begging the federal government for a bailout.
So glad that after 4 yrs in the Armpit of Texas Houston, I was able to transfer to Tennessee
From my experience, the best way to see Texas is in the rearview mirror.
If Texas ever gets their much-needed enema Houston is where the hose needs to be placed.

Perhaps the people in the Oregon counties that want to secede should have convinced the counties to the west to join them. That would have given Idaho a piece of the coastline. Most of the inhabitants of Oregon are locate along the Columbia River. Maybe that is in Idaho’s future as well. Hopefully there’s a strategy involved.

Portland has quickly become another San Francisco, A fence needs to be built around Portland, the inhabitants should be barred from crossing the Columbia river.

If our elections are not cleaned up, and the dems keep importing voters, the red states should seriously consider secession. 2024 should be the deadline, maybe sooner if the dems in Congress continue their “the end justifies the means” governing practice.

This approach by the Exceptionalism inherent in the Sovereign Ordinary Average Citizen is taking the decision as close to the Local Realization as is not only Possible but Practical. Another concept to be considered and stated by POTUS #16 Abraham Lincoln. _ Avoidance of the need to have “Wars of Adjustment” to recognize the ever-changing Goals of those willing to use Brutality to Gain Monarchial control.MikeSr.

What’s needed if secession comes to a vote: That the voting process be policed from outside interference, as well as policed against election fraud.

This should happen in all of the states controlled by Communist majorities….Ill, NY, CA, Washington. That would pretty much be the end of the Communist run federal government

This is a great indication that Oregon’s governing body has decided that rural voters are to be ignored and scorned by the city dwellers. Three cities: Portland, Salem, and Eugene are controlling the “progressive” government of Oregon to the detriment of the rural population.
