These Americans Are So Fed Up With Portland And Sacramento They Want To Redraw State Borders
Posted on
PORTLAND, Ore. No state is more emblematic of deepening political and cultural divisions in America than Oregon, where a movement is underway in the state’s more conservative southern and eastern counties to break away from the radically leftist urban centers in the northwest and become part of an enlarged Idaho.
Such efforts have been around for decades as divisions sizzled under the surface. Each side sees the other with a growing contempt, as leftists in the state capitol, Salem, rule with a legislative supermajority and, increasingly, no regard for their neighbors in largely rural eastern Oregon.

Fresh off his first criminal conviction for trespassing at the Idaho State Capitol, Emmett resident and anti-government activist Ammon Bundy is moving forward with his efforts to unseat Gov. Brad Little.
Bundy has a long history of capitalizing â by his own admission â on exposure from high profile standoffs with the government and law enforcement.
The latest confrontation pales in comparison to his standoffs with the FBI in Nevada and Oregon.
The first standoff was at his father s ranch in Nevada in 2014. The Feds said Ammon s father Cliven Bundy grazed his cattle on federal land and owed more than a million dollars in grazing fees. Bundy argues the law didn t apply to his family and calls it government overreach.
