That may not be true. I believe that the California State government is very troublesome to reform. One idea is to apportion representation by county (i.e. one or two representatives per county) rather than a certain number of representatives for a certain heads in each county. This would prevent populous cities from dominating politics which affect the rural areas. Since people living in rural areas are not as prone to thinking that they can micromanage the lives of others, it would balance the power somewhat. The only problem is I doubt that the cities would voluntarily let power slip from their hands by allowing such a reform. It would probably be best if they broke away. It would involve less fighting with the southern cities to have more say, and there is no reason they can't do business with eachother after the political division.
Sections of a state should be able to forcibly secede from their parent state without leaving the overall nation. My vassals in CK2 do it to each other all the time, and I don't give a shit.
@Jeff Goodman i just drove through there. NOBODY lives there. To sucessfully run a state you need money. How tf would they get any infrastructure or anything else without taxing at a high rate. (You cant) it sounds nice but money doesnt grow on trees.
I would so move to Jefferson if it became a state. A little homestead would be lovely and not have to deal with the Nazi like government of Commiefornia.
My folks just finished building a home I designed for them in Shasta county. I am really hoping this goes through. I'll move out of Sonoma county and take my Architect's License to the new state of Jefferson!
Citizen Brain I had friends in Sonoma. Some beautiful land out there. I wanted to live out there for the longest time but it's probably way out of my price range.
I have so much respect for these Americans. Northern Californians are good ol country folks. Who blames them for wanting to be their own state. Why should someone from San Diego have a say in how Yreka residents live their life? I want Texas to succeed. Why should someone from New York or Washington have the right to tell us how we should live? I love the people of rural Northern California. They're normal, hard working farmers ,etc. LA? San Francisco? Not so much.
I grew up in Arizona and I remember my 4th grade teacher telling me there was a movement in Northern California to create a 51st state. That was 35 years ago. I see it is still going strong. I hope they succeed.
I won't say that a lot of people in California wants to break up the state, but there have been many proposals to do such a thing. This really isn't just an issue for the State of Jefferson, but also the Central Valley and Southern California as well. Pretty much 12 million people in a state of 30 million people have their opinion silenced which to me is just wrong.
@@kbanghart I really don’t think you bothered looking at the district map and who represents the districts but please, keep regurgitating whatever the mainstream media tells you 😂
+Ken Banghart Reality, more often than not, is a collection of erroneous societal fears and prejudices. Fits right in with your defeatist attitude. LOL
I 100% support this! The more decentralized power is, the better! So go with the republicanism instead of statehood, if you can. I really don't understand why people label this as far-fetched, whacky, etc. I see a video about this on the right side of my screen entitled "GOP NUT Baggery" and even this video at 0:34, the narrator calls it "the seemingly impossible"; America was founded on this, this is a core principle of America, it shouldn't be alien at all.
True. We got multiple states out of Territories. Counties have merged in the last couple of years. States are corporations, not sacred entities. They can be merged, split, disbanded, formed - like any corporation. No big deal.
I grew up in Yreka. It's a small town of almost 8,000 but it's the largest town in far Northern California. The industry there has been decimated in the last 30 years. Fishing, mining, lumber, everything. All because of the Democrats and environmentalists. The only viable industry is marijuana and the government still plays their little cat and mouse game with growers.
Same with us in Humboldt, Eureka used to be a lovely logging town before the Democrats came in with their environmental regulations; Now my town is struggling to get by with fishing and cannabis farming(Which we actually managed to turn into a bit of a small industry around here) while enduring the absurd regulations and taxes set upon us by our incompetent governor Moonbeam.
@@Chris-hp9be why don't you liberals go after tech companies and their mining opporations and insane levels of polution, instead of destroying entire townsively hoods? You know all that paper and wood that make everything? Well wtf do you think it comes from?
It's been tried a few times before. If you are local then I invite you to attend one of the many town hall meetings going on around the state. There is a lot of information put out to include what has happen historically and where we are going forward.
@@kbanghart but us libertarians will. Every state has the power to have a very well regulated militia to obtain a free state. Along with sufficient arms and ammunition. Its litteraly in our constitution. We will abide by the supreme law of the land you despise

"We're taxed, but we have no say over how those taxes are spent" Uhh...this is basically every single person in the country, not just a clump of rural towns in northern California.
This is in big part because of the Supreme Court ruling of Reynolds vs Sims in 1964. Each county in California used to have its own State Senator, like many other states. Reynolds vs Sims stripped that and made it population based like the Assembly. It's not the perfect example, but when you go from potential 11 to 14 State Senators for this area to 2 State Senators we really have no voice.
Kizone Kaprow GO FUCK YOURSELF! The Dimwitted Are The Democrats And The LIBERALS And Most Of The Republicans! The Solution Is NOT Anarchy You Dumbass Dip Shit! "WE" Have A Constitution That Everyone Seems To Have Forgotten About! "WE" Should Have Only Common Law (That The Constitution Was Written In!) NOT Admiralty Law! NOT Federal Law!
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them" The best kept secret of the Declaration of Independence is that the principle of political separation is completely scalable, down to the individual level. If people ever woke up to this fact governments would quickly unravel.
It would definitely be in Jefferson's interest to be a coastal state, but I was surprised to see Mendocino and Humboldt counties included in its borders. They are a couple of the most liberal counties in the state. It may be more of a libertarian-leaning rural liberalism rather than a San Francisco liberalism, but they seem to be plenty statist at the ballot box. Is there actually significant support for secession in the coastal counties, or was that map just being hopeful?
Now I understand the importance of smaller states, as the needs of the many in large states end up outweighing the needs of the few in the smaller bits of these states. :O
Where do the people of eastern washington get a say in things while the folk in western washington burn up money left and right on tunnel boring machines, and runway expansion? projects which may likely never benefit these people of eastern washington.
what we need is more young people like myself to get into the state of Jefferson, its all about our future and if we can get the younger generation too keep of the fight then sooner or later I think it will happen.
I'm 38. I'm going. I'm leaving the bay area and moving to the state if Jefferson....and I'm not bringing any commiefornia politics w me....I'm all Jefferson all the way.
As a person in Tehama county I fully support a possible state of Jefferson. This is not even about whether you are a liberal or a republican, the counties which would become part of Jefferson are so much more different than the south. Whenever I travel anywhere past Sacramento it's like a completely different world. The population is millions different, the political atmosphere is different, the culture is different, the distaste for government intrusion in the north is growing, and like they said, the north is always ignored. Anyone who thinks these two extremely different areas could and should be under the same state and government is a fool.
I feel that this is a good move, Statehood or Republic, as long as it's a place that holds Libertarian principles, and upholds the ideology outlined by the US Constitution. Hasn't Texas been trying to become a Republic as well?
Kizone Kaprow I don't know about the "Utopia" part. I know of no Libertarian that strives for a Utopian society. They don't kid themselves in that aspect. There will never be Utopia.
Honestly california shouldnt have a problem since their population will have a net gain in political representation in the senate And if people have a problem with Wyoming having three electoral votes, why let Puerto Rico become a state but not Jefferson
I support state succession 100% and I wish people of northern California and southern Oregon the best in their pursuit. In fact, I'd go as far as to support the idea of states throwing counties and cities out since I'd love to see my state, Pennsylvania, throw out Philadelphia.
2:13 "They felt both Salem and Sacramento were both ignoring this region." Which is why they want to secede from CA and OR to form the state of JF. Interesting, reasonable, wise, smart and beneficial. Also interesting- Southern Maine also wants to secede from its state. Southern Mainers are tired of the fact that northern Maine remains undeveloped, it's off the grid, no signal except from orbiting satellites, homes with no plumbing, no electricity, no infrastructure in the region, the moose population in northern Maine exceeds the human population there. AND southern Maine is how they believe their state should be developed. But rather than northern Maine seeking secession so they could develop the region better, it's southern Maine that wants to secede. "Maine wants northern Maine the way it is; we as citizens of the entire states DO NOT. So if Maine doesn't care, we might as well secede and let Maine be the undeveloped part of the region while we enjoy the modernized part of the region. If Maine wants land it owns undeveloped, THEY CAN HAVE IT! Let THAT region be Maine. We want to form the state of Northern Massachusetts." Maine used to be part of the state of Massachusetts, although they had to ravel 15 miles through New Hampshire. But they don't want to reunite with Massachusetts, because as a state of its own, it could create its own state laws. Surprisingly, they wouldn't mind the fact their gross domestic product would be 8 times less than what it would be if they join Massachusetts. The problem with their proposal is that the state capital, Augusta, is in southern Maine. Secession is a civil request. Land and cities may secede, but they can't take the capital with them since the capital is the city where its government uses its authority of the state. A state may let land cease as part of the state, but no state would ever consider ceasing to exist. Unless they want to make political changes of such a scale that it would be such an extreme violation of their constitution, the only option to make such a political change would be to form a whole new state with a new constitution. But the 50 constitutions of the 50 states are so near in common, a political change of that scale would be so extreme, it would be beyond the constitution of the entire country.
I very much respect the intent of this division, you are 100% correct that the State of CA is no longer serving in anyone's best interest, but in particular, yours and other rural areas within the state, or in underpopulated parts of the state like the Central Coastal counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Kern, etc. My only wish is that I could move into the most beautiful by far part of my state, right next to you folks!!!
yea we will totally keep them and try to keep silicon valley too tbh calexit would have gone off without a hitch if it werent for silicon valley so we're now moving it to texas
If JEFFERSON is formed properly...NO state income tax, REASONABLE property & sales tax, SMALL Gov't model, & COMMON SENSE LAWS WRITTEN IN PLAIN ENGLISH (NOT lawyer double-speak that can be read as "a" today & "b" tomorrow.) I would sell my house & land, & move there IMMEDIATELY. GO JEFFERSON!!!!!!!!
I am from Redding, but now live in SO ORegon. Why is Oregon no longer participating in this separation, I am all for it. We in So Oregon have no voice either.
If the State of Jefferson gets passed, I'm defiantly packing up my stuff from the East Bay Area to somewhere like Ukiah or Arcata to support this new state.
You can't leave southern Oregon out of the State of Jefferson! We also lack an incredible amount of representation in our state. Years ago, southern Oregon was involved in the conversation.

While I tend to share Magentawave's views, I'm still in favor of any activity of this nature. This country needs to break down into smaller nation states independent of the fed leviathan. How, I'm not sure.
Whatever happened to including Southern Oregon into the state of Jefferson? I lived in Southern Oregon most my life and we have nothing in common with Portland. Originally the state of Jefferson would have included parts of Oregon. Is that not the case anymore?
California really is too big to serve all of the people who live there
YayJess Many states are like that. Take New York. Upstate is very very different than NYC and Long Island. NY should be broken up.
That may not be true. I believe that the California State government is very troublesome to reform. One idea is to apportion representation by county (i.e. one or two representatives per county) rather than a certain number of representatives for a certain heads in each county.

I very much respect the intent of this division, you are 100% correct that the State of CA is no longer serving in anyone's best interest, but in particular, yours and other rural areas within the state, or in underpopulated parts of the state like the Central Coastal counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Kern, etc. My only wish is that I could move into the most beautiful by far part of my state, right next to you folks!!!
Good job.
hey thx u 2!
The difference is these people are self sufficient, and California wants people to be dependent.
Southern Oregon should join them. I hate how Portland and Salem control all of the politics in southern Oregon
Patrick Henry founding father "Its either give me liberty or give me death!"
I'll move to Jefferson State!
Yes
I'd much rather see Cascadia come into existence than Jefferson but Jefferson definitely has a more realistic chance of happening. I can't argue that.
Good for them hope they achieve their goals
Move there fast, before they make aton of new laws, out of habit.
Good luck and if this happens, it will be added to the possible locations to relocate to when I retire 😁
Id move there if they became a state. It looks nice over there.
At about 4:12 what is the guy talking about when he says he wants to go the republic route and not the state route?
Stop the fluoride
If California becomes a country, does State of Jefferson say in the USA?
yea we will totally keep them and try to keep silicon valley too
tbh calexit would have gone off without a hitch if it werent for silicon valley
so we're now moving it to texas
garet claborn: The eggheads there are the only thing keeping the state afloat with the tech industry, if they go then California is done for.
If JEFFERSON is formed properly...NO state income tax, REASONABLE property & sales tax, SMALL Gov't model, & COMMON SENSE LAWS WRITTEN IN PLAIN ENGLISH (NOT lawyer double-speak that can be read as "a" today & "b" tomorrow.)
I would sell my house & land, & move there IMMEDIATELY.
GO JEFFERSON!!!!!!!!
I would rather have no taxes, almost zero government, and free markets to allow private industry to thrive.
I am from Redding, but now live in SO ORegon. Why is Oregon no longer participating in this separation, I am all for it. We in So Oregon have no voice either.
Yesssss and take southern and eastern Oregon with you
If the State of Jefferson gets passed, I'm defiantly packing up my stuff from the East Bay Area to somewhere like Ukiah or Arcata to support this new state.
Jefferson would rapidly grow and get a major city on the coast
Economically, I don't think the state could support itself. I do believe that they deserve a voice so ultimately I think it should become a state.
well california currently cant support itself sooooo
You can't leave southern Oregon out of the State of Jefferson! We also lack an incredible amount of representation in our state. Years ago, southern Oregon was involved in the conversation.
Well it's been a year and they're on :)
In NY we suffer from the same problem, NYC does not represent the rest of the state yet determines everything
Id move there honestly
Weighing in from northern New Mexico (not that it matters): Go for it! (But be prepared to work through a possible false-flag attack of some kind, meant to derail you, and no, I am NOT implying Pearl Harbor was such. I am implying that the powers that be might well attempt to trip up your efforts. Be prepared to work through it.)
I believe then free state represents the higher call in perhaps the light on Hill the last of those types of Liberty you haven't seen that for a very long time maybe over under years so absolutely . I am with the jeffersonians to defend that and honor all their liberties. From one of the last of the individuals Robert Young
Just wondering at the proposed name Jefferson. After President Jefferson Davis ??
I suspect Thomas Jefferson
Yes!
While I tend to share Magentawave's views, I'm still in favor of any activity of this nature. This country needs to break down into smaller nation states independent of the fed leviathan. How, I'm not sure.
I'd move there...
I love that area of California, I use to live in Happy Camp. I would move there in a seconded if it became the State of Jefferson.
Wonderful idea! As a foreigner, I'd give them some tourism money as soon as I could if that happened.
7 public service union workers, from a union law state, watched this video!
I'm with you southern California hmu
Statehood is the way to go, an independent republic is very unlikely considering the precedent against succession from the US.
Whatever happened to including Southern Oregon into the state of Jefferson? I lived in Southern Oregon most my life and we have nothing in common with Portland. Originally the state of Jefferson would have included parts of Oregon. Is that not the case anymore?
Please don’t cave in to liberal ideology,keep up the fight!
What, pack the US Senate with 2 more Senators from a new anti-establishment State? The Federalists would never allow it.
They will give Puerto Rico state level and again will be balanced jejeje
+tohopes If they witnessed what California has become they would.
+John Pete Why not give it to Washington DC instead? That would be more appealing.
State of Jefferson is so badly needed
Amador!!! Join.
look at all that Chemtrail @ 5:21.
