The State of Jefferson is a proposed US state in Northern California (less prominent, but noticeable in Southern Oregon). The State was first proposed in 1941 and a movement quickly sprung up. However, due to the importance of WW2, the movement quickly died down. Many years later during the 90s, the movement resurfaced. As California began rearing towards a very left leaning blue state, more and more northern counties, fed up with being tossed out and disregarded by the Californian government, began the campaign once more to create the State of Jefferson. This will not only bring a conservative state to the west coast, but put a dent in the democrat stranglehold of California and the west coast in general. Since Oroville, the movement has exploded in popularity, making it the most vocal state separation movement in the US. (Note there is another secession movement in Southern California known as the "State of Jackson", however it is not nearly as prominent as the conservative led movement in Northern California).

bumparoo bumparee i bump thee
Give me jefferson or give me death!
No taxation without representation!
My only regret is I have but one pepe to give for my statehood
>>136314738
dude weed LMAO
I would move there if it became a state
I'm stationed in MD but I haven't changed my citizenship to MD because I want to still vote in CA elections for this movement
First heard about this when I moved to California in 2015 after going to Yosemite. I was at housekeeping camp when a big ass truck showed next to my tent with the big ass green flag on it, covered in Jefferson bumper stickers. After talking with the guy I think I like California again.

>>136314738
Fuck lake County. Also, fuck the entire coast. It's nothing but immigrant Mexicans, faggots, meth heads, and pot and pot accessories.
>>136315921
Agreed. The blues of the coast are quite idiotic.
>>136315921
Agree to an extent. There's still a lot of people that support the movement there, and it's beautiful areas.
yisss
>>136314738
Placer county here, did I make the cutoff?
Also, do we have a state constitution meme yet?
The 2nd amendment was put in place to overthrow corrupt government. You reckon if we can't secede from CA peacefully we can take the governments in areas we need?
(not very educated on this issue)
>>136316407
Fuck off, we're full.
The Bear River is S o J's southern border.
Go hang out at the Galleria Mall with your shitty Roseville friends. We don't want you.
Love,
Nevada County
>>136316699
But I'm in Lincoln, the white conservative part of placer :(
>>136316741
Ok, I'll help you over the fence, but don't tell anyone.
>>136316699
Nigger a fuck ton of southern counties want to join. We will accept all the help we can get. Also you are a blue county.
>>136317021
i see lots of support from kern
>>136316571
Due to California's prop system, we can vote to leave. If a majority votes yes it then goes to the federal legislature over whether we become a state or not.
If it happened I would move there. Also, Support from Orange County .
>>136317124
awwww but i wanna fight the california government
:(
>>136317290
Thanks. Lot's of support from the Southern California conservatives. I wouldn't be shocked to see a mass migration of conservatives to Jefferson from California if we separated.
>>136317021
...and once you guys get your skinny asses up here, youll outnumber the Grass Valley hippy communes and turn this place red.
Get up here, son.
>>136317414
Placer, El Dorado, Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne, Mariposa, and Stanislaus are all a part of the movement now. In fact 5 of the 7 I mentioned have been here since 1992. Sorry to put a thorn into your dreams.
>>136317560
Not sure how that puts any thorns anywhere, but thank you.
Support you guys from Wake County, NC.
Hope you guys get independence.
there will surlely be riots and rebellion from the liberals.
>>136317772
Thank you. Appreciated.
>>136317821
Fuck em. We have more guns. We can put them down real quick like if they try to attack us.
>>136317821
What are they gonna do, yell at us? Idiots are afraid of guns.
STOP ASKING PEOPLE TO BUMP THE THREAD
>>136314738
Why are those red counties on the eastern border not included? The ones right below the green counties
>>136317401
And then all you Jefferson pieces of shit would cry about all the "Californians" moving north.
See: Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Montana
You think so cal conservatives are the same racist, xenophobic, 4X4-driving, white trash Hicks as in the north counties?
>>136318820
alpine and mono county are not red. Theyre blue.
>>136314738
Hi White Bros
>>136318859
SoCal liberals really do move through out the west and take their values with them. Its noticeable here in Washington their politics and culture being noticeably different.
t. Lived in Washington State for 12 years
>>136318910
Red in the OP picture, but ok so they vote Democrat mostly
>>136318859
Considering thats the thing you respond with a valid point, I assume you either dont live here, or are a huge left leaning person. Or a person LARPing as someone from the left.
>>136319040
Sad though. They would be our link to conservative counties in the south. But then the state would get too large.
>>136314738
>conservative northern California
shit, I might be tempted to move.
>>136319228
Its quite beautiful up here.
Just remember, when we become a state, Jefferson takes 83% of California's water with it.
>>136319596
>tfw Nevada controls the other half
>>136319075
Don't live there, but I spend many of my days there. Know plenty of people from there.
I am left leaning on many things (gays, abortion, atheism, pot, consumer protection).
But right on other things (guns, immigration, affirmative action, tough on crime).
I have to look good and hard to find a Confederate flag once I pass south of the Sacramento County border. As conservative as Placer county is, I dont think I've seen them across the back windows of many trucks. Laborers north of Sacramento might be more likely to have "White Pride" or swastika tattoos than a conservative from southern California.
>>136319596
Water rights are controlled at the Federal level, anon.
Ironically, the Calexit movement refers to us as radicals, and yet they want to separate from the Union.
>>136319964
Indeed. And if California tries to secede then we block all their water.
Plumas county checking in. Ready to kill niggers, spics, and fags for freedom!
>>136314738
bump
>>136314738
split the bitch in three.
>>136319596
I don't think that's how it works.
Now, if you were talking about the lefties who want to secede either all, or just the liberal parts of California from the Union, then you might be on to something. Because I don't think Shasta and Oroville water will be pumped into the Central Valley and State Water Projects to supply a foreign nation
>>136319908
>Don't live there.
I have lived here for a while. I have been to nearly all the counties up here and have been to many small towns and communities. So once you generalize all of us as those kind of things because of *lol I see more confederate flags* then you are a fucking dumbass.
>>136319986
Truthfully, you are both radicals.
>>136320209
You didnt read my response apparently.
>>136320355
>Radical
Yes, a moderate who wants more representation and less taxation and wants to escape the abuse of rural communities by the Californian legislature is a radical.
>>136314738
What needs to happen for this place to legally become a state? I assume that the people I'm the area would support the idea, but Congress would be very tough to get by.
>>136320531
Sounds pretty rad to me.
>>136320594
A proposition to pass by majority vote by the counties. Then it goes to majority vote in the federal legislature, which is controlled by republicans.
>>136320667
I remember reading that there has been a vote already, but was it unofficial?
>>136320645
I'm so fucking glad a successful thread about this subject is finally alive. We shall conquer the west coast just as we did in the past. We will rid it of the modern day Indians, the Democrats.
>>136320594
supreme court has to be nuclear tier trump loyalists and trump has to WANT THIS to get loyal jurors to allow Jefferson to secede without invoking the constiJEWtion keeping white californians from political representation in California.
t. Jeffersonian
>>136320769
It was a declaration of secession from California. However a prop vote must go through in order for this to be achieved.
>>136320825
Ok, so what do you need to get the vote going? If money is an issue I'm sure that half the country would be willing to donate something to your cause. I sure would.
Realistically what are the chances that this happens
>tfw my precious SLO county can't make it into Jefferson
It's the whitest county south of Jefferson, a shame that I may live to see it completely browned
>>136320971
There actually is a donations page on the official website: soj51.org We need signatures from 5% of Jefferson's population to officially send the prop for it to be accepted.
>>136320984
Not very high. Maybe it could happen at the same time as Calexit. Two birds one stone.
>>136317960
>What are they gonna do, yell at us? Idiots are afraid of guns.
They're convinced they state police and Nasty Girls will crush us like ripe grapes. Even the 'conservatives' among them think so. They're so full of their own effortless power and license it's terrifying.
Fuckin A yes Jefferson is a good idea. But we need to keep penryn. Got family n land down there. Someday it'll be mine, n I'll be goddamned if I wanna be part of fuckin socal. Nevada county is still pretty fuckin white. N GV is still little Germany. If only ICE would come to town n take the hippies, also, I'd be a happy camper.
>>136320984
It's growing every day. It's to the point now where it would be more realistic to pass through the federal legislature as opposed to Puerto Rico. Getting it there is the problem.
>>136320984
Not to high, but it's not a pipe dream. Unlike the calexit thing, they aren't looking to leave the union, and they have a willing populace. The willing populace is the key issue, and if they keep bitching it could happen eventually.
>>136314738
are we voting for calexit so when the time comes we can split up cuckfornia and add the conservative state of jefferson?
>>136321129
Ok, well I'm not in Jefferson, but I will probably donate. Good luck!
I grew up in Shasta Co. This debate has been going on forever now..I would love to see it happen but wouldnt think Humboldt and Mendocino counties would join up desu.. meh I live on Cape Cod now anyways
>>136321398
Yes, I forgot saying that the hippies and far leftists and the coast are idiotic means that Im a racist xenohphobic yada yada yada.
I really do enjoy the scenery up here.
>>136321515
Know, but according to you, you are a dumbass.
Jackson is a better name than Jefferson, imo
Let me know how non-cali fags can help
>>136314738
I dont get it.. all these northern farmers in the areas depend on illegal Mexicans for labor.. people of Jefferson are not conservative republicans. More like libertarians liberals who shit on democrats and republicans
Thank God my shitty county makes falls within Jefferson. I really doubted it coming south of Sac. Mexicans will start bailing for the PR of Kalifornia and we will have the peace ful pristine farmland my grandparents told us about.
>>136321899
Incorrect. I have already stated that my time here has been for years and I know the people over there. Many of the leftists are idiots, and I have seen it firsthand especially around Humboldt and Mendocino. Given that I have years of experience I come to the conclusion. You however do not.
>>136322407
Stanislaus?
>>136322122
No we fucking aren't, faggot.
>>136322122
That is very very incorrect.
Western New York has the same issue with NYC and other downstate libs. NYS would be swing red without the garbage that is NYC.
>>136314738
Here's theoretical for you:
The civil war decided states can't secede from the union, but what about seceding from a state? For instance, could the people of Kansas City secede from Kansas and Missouri to form their own state? Could Illinois be divided up to handle their bankruptcy? As long as the people in the seceding area are willing, do they have the right?
>>136322722
The constitution states that with the consent of the state and federal governments, a state can be formed. This would normally be a problem, however due to California's (and I think Illinois) proposition system in which citizens propose and vote in their own legislature, the consent can be bypassed in California with a simple majority vote in the counties involved.
>>136322546
Yes sir. ModestoFag.
>>136322941
Well welcome to the party I guess. It's always nice to have more support.
THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL HAPPEN IS IF YOU GET TRUMP TO TALK ABOUT IT! WE MUST GET TRUMP TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>>136323247
It is true that we need a high profile person to draw attention. That would be the best way to get support quickly.
>>136322546
Yah I am in stanislaus. I was surprised to see it in the pic.
Trying to get my parents to move out of CA, jefferson or not.
>>136322866
I don't think any state would allow it though. Obviously no one would kill each other but losing anywhere means losing tax money. Still though it's fun to imagine. The Feds would absolutely have to get involved
>>136323427
More support is being rounded up from Stanislaus from restricted water rights put onto the farmer populace of the central valley.
>>136323493
Like I said above, the vote can be passed by a majority vote in the counties involved. And due to Californian law, it has to be passed no matter what if voted in.
>>136314738
Please incorporate eastern Fresno County in Jefferson. We don't belong in California, we're all cowboys here.
>>136323427
Me too. My wife just started nursing school and we were planning to rent or sale the house and leave when she's done. But Jefferson doesnt seem bad at all if its still part of the U.S.
>>136314738
>Extending Jefferson that far south
>Basically central Cali.
You're ruining the entire purpose, lads.
>>136322711
when I was working up there during season. Alot of beaners working..
>>136324139
Most of Central California is right wing. The spics will flee to California if CenCal is included in Jefferson.
>>136314738
Stanislaus is in now? Hell yeah
>>136324139
Central CA is full of right wing gun nuts, and its where the money making farmland is. Inb4 "no illegals to work", there wasnt many before '65 either. White kids used to do those seasonal jobs before mexicans dropped the wages to poverty level.
>>136324139
The entire purpose is that the rural communities are being drowned out by California's legislature and they want representation.
>>136324896
Fun fact: My friends and I worked in the watermelon fields during the summer in college. $10/hour, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for two months. The illegals used to get pissed because we did as much work in an hour as they did in 4 hours. They just stood around and listened to their shit music. Americans not wanting to do ag labor is a myth.
>>136314738
I hope they succeed in their efforts. One day I wish to return to my family's land in Northern California without being raped by the South.
>>136325256
Interesting.
>>136325480
We need all the help we can get. Appreciate the support.
>>136317124
Are you sure? Wouldn't the South just vote to keep you as tax cattle?
>>136314738
i'd like to see jefferson cut off all the food to socal and watch them all die and kim nuke them.
>>136325256
Yea i used to go out there when i was young and watch them fuck off and harrass the women all day. They dont have to work so hard when being subsidized by the government for anchor babies.
>>136325588
I stated above multiple times that the majority vote comes from the counties involved. Not any other county.
>>136321109
I went to school there
> tfw whitest school in CA
> tfw no one gives a fuck
I love Humboldt county, except for the degenerate weed culture, but there are NO FUCKING JOBS IN NORCAL so it's impossible to support myself or my family there. Not to mention that housing costs are absurd compared to the salaries in the area. Most decent single family homes are half a million dollars or more, while wages are below average for CA.
I live in the Bay Area and I fucking hate the people here and the political system but there are TONS of jobs that pay well and I already own a house so I don't have to worry about the housing crisis.
TL;DR - Want to move to Eureka, CA but there aren't any damn jobs.
>>136321180
That only works if the owners of said bombers and tanks align with the libtards.
And since conservatives who would benefit the most from Jefferson being formed control the military, it would be the democrats getting stomped by loyalist militia and federal military...again.
>>136314738
> collecting a bunch of rural and suburban counties into another sparsely populated western state will amount to jack shit.
I'm for California splitting up, this would be the the least significant new state to come from it by far.
>>136326211
That redhead.
Dumboldt county here
When are we finally going to build a wall to keep out the trimigrants
