Northern Cal Talks Secession
The swell of California’s taxation, empty representation and overwhelming regulation has residents in the northern part of the state talking secession. Activists claim the state’s three major urban areas dictate politics for all of California and the good folks of Northern Cal have had enough. If they indeed have their way, Jefferson will become the 51st state in the Union, says Mark Baird, of the Jefferson Declaration Committee. “We already have 350,000 people that want liberty,” Baird says. “We get calls from more counties every day. We’re practicing inclusion. This isn’t exclusively some right-wing movement, we have Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents. We have everyone that wants to see a better life for themselves and their children.” Baird and other activists tell Reason TV their story.
