"These lines weren’t drawn by the Almighty. Politicians care deeply about such things, however, because they care deeply about power, and about preserving the status quo that has served the ruling class so well."
We agree @mises.

If the @GreaterIdaho Movement is successful, we should see the same model applied elsewhere between pairs of neighbor states to achieve greater representation:
-Greater Nevada
-Greater Indiana
-Greater Pennsylvania
-Greater West Virginia
-Greater Wisconsin
As early as the 1780s, settlers on the fringes of North Carolina & the future state of Tennessee tried to form their own state: Franklin.
#Utahism gives shape to an ambition which has existed and continues to exist in America, the desire for representative statehood.
The proposed state of Superior or Ontonagon had been considered since the administration of President Jefferson, then having proposed calling it "Sylvania."
Though it has repeatedly sought statehood since then, the last major statehood movement disappeared after 2012.
The roadblocks faced by TGIM at the state level are a reminder that Utahism and the pursuit of state representation must become mainstream discussions in America
13 counties in E Oregon have voted to explore leaving Oregon and joining Idaho because they do not share the values of Gov. Kotek and the metro area. Rather than respecting and supporting the people who have made those votes, the Gov. and OR Legislature have "stood together" in holding us captive against our wishes. Federal help to preserve our fundamental freedoms to self-determination would be appreciated.
