    Been going on since '41. I'd love to see it happen, but as I mentioned above, I'm not holding my breath.

    This would be just as stupid and unacceptable if there was such a powerful KKK presence in Texas that they wanted to split that state into two for political reasons. Their extremist political views and racism are no more acceptable than anyone else's extremist politics or racism.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    It wont even get a floor vote at the state level.

    No way Congress would approve it.
    Hey man, the way it's been in our state lately, the MOAR time those nincompoops waste with crap that'll go nowhere, the less time they have to **** us over, and they are trying BIG time this session, worst than last.

    All of us normal in WA would love to see it, but it's been talked about for years, and will never go anywhere.

    Even if it happened, the Commies would buy up all the property just to get two more Senators and a few more Congressmen.

    At least here in Texas we just want to remove the whole state from the rest of the country...

    We could also give about 50-75 miles along the Mexican border BACK to Mexico... See how all them blue counties along the boarder like being part of Mexico again... Maybe give it back to Mexico on the 5 year plan...they get it for 5 years then we will take it back.

    Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

    This gets talked about every year or so. It’s not gonna happen. Also the fact that not a single county in this new state puts in more in taxes then takes. Also give it a few years and the new state would bitch about Spokane/Pullman running the state with there votes. Spokane and Whitman county have voted in favor of all our stupid gun initiatives put forth over the last decade. I think we would have better luck getting Eastern Wa and Eastern Oregon added to Idaho.

    True... what we need is more like a State Electoral College and Senators allocated by County.
