Guest post by Joe Hoft at JoeHoft.com<\/a> \u2013 republished with permission<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The US has been taken over by communists in many federal, state and local governments. Once they take over, their first action is to prevent any possibility of being removed. States like California and Illinois have half the state population in more rural areas who no longer have a voice.<\/p>\n Good Americans sit back and watch their rights destroyed while their states destroy their farmlands or prevent businesses like fracking or lumber to prosper. The rationale for these moves is more related to the destruction of the state and its people than anything logical. Timber is plentiful in Oregon that can\u2019t be touched while California shuts off water to farmers throughout the state. The border is open, and millions are spent on illegals or anything other than the protection and prosperity of these states\u2019 citizens.<\/p>\n The Wall Street Journal<\/a> published a piece on these growing efforts of independence<\/strong> from the tyrannical monsters who run many far-left states.<\/p>\n A burgeoning breakup movement is gaining momentum across Illinois, California and other states where vast swaths of red, rural counties are dominated by a few blue cities. More residents are pushing to break off and form new states. Or as a group called New Illinois State\u2014which has declared itself independent from actual Illinois and last weekend passed the first draft of a new constitution\u2014puts it: \u201cLeave Illinois Without Moving.\u201d<\/p>\n Gioja [a man mentioned in the article] was among the 73% of voters in predominantly rural Iroquois County who on Election Day backed the idea of forming a new state with every Illinois county except Cook, home to Chicago and more than 40% of the state\u2019s population. The nonbinding resolution also passed in six other counties, bringing the total to 33 of Illinois\u2019s 102 counties.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people in Chicago, and I think that they make a lot of decisions that affect people downstate,\u201d said Gioja, who doesn\u2019t expect a New Illinois soon. \u201cIt\u2019s just sending a message that, \u2018Hey, you know, there\u2019s people that would like to be part of the conversation, and often aren\u2019t.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n The urban-rural divide is a longtime fissure in American life, one that President-elect Donald Trump<\/a> played up on the campaign trail as he railed against large Democratic-run metropolises\u2014while also making electoral gains in many cities<\/a>. Now, emboldened separatist groups see the incoming administration as uniquely friendly to red, less populous areas that feel steamrolled by left-leaning urban power centers.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so flipping excited,\u201d said Paul Preston, founder of New California State, which has declared all the counties outside of Los Angeles, the Bay Area and Sacramento as independent and named him governor pro tempore.<\/p>\n Contemporary quests to redraw the map of the U.S. have bubbled up before, with Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia each long seeking to become the 51st state, and some states floating the idea of becoming independent nations.<\/p>\n As for the wannabe breakaway counties, a divorce could get messy. Becoming new states would require consent of the existing legislatures\u2014extremely unlikely in most blue states\u2014as well as Congress, according to Article IV, section III of the U.S. Constitution. That has only happened a handful of times, including the formation of Kentucky with the consent of Virginia and the founding of Maine, which was once part of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n Yet when West Virginia sought statehood during the Civil War, Congress approved even without the consent of Virginia\u2019s legislature in Richmond, which had voted to secede.<\/p>\n Preston thinks that could be an opening for New California. He said he plans to petition Congress for statehood based on the argument that the current California government is \u201ca one-party communist state, and technically, they have seceded from the Union already.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Preston has been working on the creation of the state of New California for some time. With his leadership, the state of New California has its own legislature in place. He has visited Washington, DC, to share the plight of many citizens in California and offer a solution.<\/p>\n West Virginia led the way during the Civil War and President Lincoln saw the benefits of the new state, not only to the citizens of West Virginia but also to the country.<\/p>\n The post New State Movement Gains Momentum Across Illinois, California and Other States Due to Tyrannical State Governments<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Guest post by Joe Hoft at JoeHoft.com \u2013 republished with permission \u00a0 The \u201cnew state movement\u201d is gaining<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/joehoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/New-California-State-781x600.jpg?resize=588%2C452&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\nThe \u201cnew state movement\u201d is gaining steam as tyrannical state governments destroy states and prevent citizens a voice.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n
The people living under tyranny and unable to throw out the communists running their state and local governments due to election processes that prevent outsider wins are working and praying that they make the new state initiatives a reality soon. <\/strong><\/h4>\n
