County to vote to secede from Colorado and become 51st State

[Feuer Frei!]

North Colorado. :yep:

Residents in one rural Colorado county will get an opportunity to decide in November if they want to break away and form the 51st state. In an unanimous vote on Monday, commissioners in Weld County voted to include the initiative on November’s ballot

Funny, you can only secede with the approval of state and congress, takes all the fun out of it and makes it an impossibility.

Texas v. White may have something to say about this.

It will never happen, but I hope it does. These days I find that I do not view the word "secede" in an unfavorable light when you have large chasm between demographics of a given area. It's probably the only way the people in such areas would gain proper representation. Besides that, generally speaking our country is already balkanized or damn near it, so what the hell, why not.

I foresee a great many obstacles in their path. I wish them luck. They'll need it.
