House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, was flanked by a dozen
participants, including her counterparts from Idaho and Montana, during
a press conference after the daylong closed-door summit. U.S. Sen. Mike
Lee addressed the group over lunch, Ivory said. New Mexico, Arizona,
Nevada, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington also were represented.
The summit was in the works before this month’s tense standoff between
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management over
cattle grazing, Lockhart said.
"What’s happened in Nevada is really just a symptom of a much larger
problem," Lockhart said.
Fielder, who described herself as "just a person who lives in the
woods," said federal land management is hamstrung by bad policies,
politicized science and severe federal budget cuts.
"Those of us who live in the rural areas know how to take care of
lands," Fielder said, who lives in the northwestern Montana town of
Thompson Falls.

Here's the bones for my new novel.
That, above, might be chapter one. The rest, purely fiction
of course.

We were the
greatest nation ever.

You know where
we are today. Obama has administered the coup de grâce to
our body, already gravely wounded by post Nixon government. |

Two choices.
a. Remain whole—all 57 states—and continue
on this course. Or—
b. Expel
from the union all
states in the utter thrall of Liberalism, thus creating two nations;
each free to trade with one another, but governed separately.

We are still
the greatest people. A new United States, strictly
obedient to the original United States Constitution and Ten Bill of
Rights will be reconstituted. |
| 5 |
In due time the
outcast Pox Amerika, continuing their course of
tyrannical government, and corrupting social experimentation, must suffer fatal moral and
fiscal
bankruptcy. One by one, then, each will revolt. One by one,
each will apply
for readmission to the Untied States. One by one each will be
evaluated. |
| 6 |
In
less than 100 years we will be whole, and free again. And
kick-ass.

Aside. The Communist Party's (CPUSA)
utter infiltration of labor unions in Oregon and Washington, during the
1930s, have a lasting legacy that makes both less than good partners in
any restoration. There
is, however, a good chance that, faced with the prospect of
honest government, they would bolt to California.

Of course there are a number of states who have populations that are fed up with the rent seeking parasites that tend to accumulate in state capitols and large population cities and are seeking to separate their part of the state from them.
ReplyDeleteThen we are real close to getting enough states to call for an article V constitutional convention to discuss ways to dial back the power and corruption of the central government in Washington DC.
Or.....understand the gift Thomas Jefferson gave us; Federalism.
ReplyDelete"Free and Independent states, each capable of carrying on the business of commerce, war and the conclusion of peace".
We tried that about 150 years ago, but it didn't work out too well. Well as Florence King said, "if at first you don't secede, try, try again."
ReplyDeleteActually we lost it 150 years ago, it died on the steps of the Appomattox Court House.
ReplyDeleteGonna hafta re-examine yr CA pre-judgement.
ReplyDeleteYuba County has joined a grassroots movement to create a 51st state by splitting California.
