People should be able to select their government. Maybe these people will open the eyes of the oppressive legislature in Sacramento.

Not a chance. They would have to get Sacramento's approval first for it to be Constitutional and that is never going to happen.

Well I doubt I will see this happen in my lifetime and I am still pretty young. Though becoming a new state would do nothing to fix the problems of Northern California and would probably make their problems much worse.

The Obama administration does not believe in the right to self determination.

Witness Ukraine.

At least you acknowledge that the Democrats in Sacramento have caused problems.

They're not able to select their representatives?

I don't know if they can, but they should.
First of all, CA is too big to be one state geographically.
I've lived there and it is like night and day between folks
in southern Ca and Northern Ca. It would also solve the problem of having only two senators
represent the state. Two is too few.....

Talk is all it will ever be.

So, you're a little behind the times, it seems...

The mythical State of Jefferson -- which cheerleaders have talked for decades about carving out of the border counties of southern Oregon and Northern California -- took a blow at the polls Tuesday.
