But of course they can't do it without the permission of the legislature. And how likely are they to get that?
Tired of the Mega-Cities Ruling Your State?
Here is an idea whose time may be coming:

Perhaps the left-winging supercities would be as glad to get rid of those pesky liberty-lovers in the rural environs as those wishing to leave would be to go.But of course they can't do it without the permission of the legislature. And how likely are they to get that?
I like the idea but it won't fly. Colorado is run by the left right now and they depend upon these poor souls for tax revenue to fund their ludicrous ideology. Someone has to pay, after all.
Why ask for permission when you can ask for forgiveness later?
Mega-blocks. Mega-highways. Mega-City One.
*ahem* sorry. I think it's a great idea. If the people of certain counties want to create a new state, what right does the state have to stop them? Do they belong to their overlords in Denver and Boulder? I say keep up the fight.

This map would also be nice. Although a new idea for Colorado, this has been around for a while for pretty much the same reasons in the north part of CA and southern OR. Jefferson - The 51st State - Northern California / Southern Oregon - A State of Mind
To me, it would be just fine.

Chicago State. I like the sound of that.
I don't know what processes are in place either under state constitutions or Congressional authority, but I do know
that allowing the creation of several new rural only states would severely unbalance an already unbalanced situation in The Senate where rural states are more heavily represented than heavily populated states.
Maybe if the "Splitters" were to get their way each of NYC's 5 boroughs could become a new state too--- and add 10
liberal senators to The Senate? The Bronx with a population of 1.3 million deserves equal representation to S. Dakota.
Each of the other boroughs would balance against places such as Montana and Idaho.
Sometimes things shouldn't be messed with. This breakaway business is one of them.

That rural imbalance of which you speak is the reason for the existence of the House of Representatives.I don't know what processes are in place either under state constitutions or Congressional authority, but I do know

Never happen, unless the DNC thinks it will get 2 more Dem Senators out of it.
Great idea but doubt it will fly.That said,you try what you can,with this anti American regime and all of their merry little butt kissers,ugh.
The America i use to know,isn't anymore.

Huh? The House has proportional representation with each seat representing equal numbers of constituents. The rural-urbanThat rural imbalance of which you speak is the reason for the existence of the House of Representatives.
imbalance with the rural holding the upper hand occurs in The Senate. A handful of states with a combined population smaller than NYC controls 10% of the Senate. Another handful of states with a combined population less than California's also
controls many senate seats.
I'm sick of it.Sick of all the telling me what to do and what not to do.I do believe what was suggested to me once.There are government people watching on here,so,i'm gonna try and be more careful,with what i say.
The House exists specifically to represent population. The Senate was designed to prevent population centers from completely controlling legislation. We are not a democracy and we were never intended to be one. Majority rule has no place in a free society. That's why we are a Constitutional Republic.Huh?

I remember several similar proposals when I was stationed in California in 1975-1984. Still sounds like a good idea to me since there is so much difference between north and south.This map would also be nice.

Sounds great to me! I'm quite happy to hear that there are people on that side of the hill so sick to their guts with guv loopy and the dems that they'd split into another state! Add Western Colorado to the mix and we'd have 2 new states! I know it's a pipe dream, but at least I still can dream.
And that's exactly how it should be. The majority says "we want to do this" via the House, and the minority says "no, that's going to hurt us" via the Senate. The alternative to this "imbalance" is to have New York and California running the entire country, and personally, one of the reasons I own firearms is fear of that scenario.Huh?

Well then, IMO you have picked the wrong reason to own guns. There are many good reasons for doing so, but not the oneAnd that's exactly how it should be.
