On Wednesday The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article about a recent vote in several counties in Oregon.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Several counties in Oregon<\/a> on May 18 voted to consider joining the state of Idaho<\/a>, which is part of a long-shot movement to break away from the state that has long been dominated by politicians in\u00a0Portland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voters in Malheur, Sherman, Grant, Baker, and Lake counties approved various measures<\/a>\u00a0that require county officials to take steps to look into moving the Idaho border west to incorporate the counties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The grassroots group\u00a0Move Oregon\u2019s Border for a Greater Idaho is aiming to have the eastern counties\u2014which are mostly rural\u2014join Idaho because they believe they would be better off with Idaho\u2019s more conservative political leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis election proves that rural Oregon wants out of Oregon,\u201d lead petitioner Mike McCarter said in a statement to local media outlets<\/a> on May 18. \u201cIf Oregon really believes in liberal values such as self-determination, the Legislature won\u2019t hold our counties captive against our will. If we\u2019re allowed to vote for which government officials we want, we should be allowed to vote for which government we want as well.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCarter told<\/a> the Oregonian last year that the bid to join Idaho is more of a \u201clifestyle\/values judgment\u201d that separates rural and urban residents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The timing of this is very interesting. On Wednesday, Townhall<\/a> posted an article about some of the items contained in President Biden’s infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n

Townhall reports:<\/p>\n

If you saved your money and bought a house in the suburbs, your investment and lifestyle are under attack. President Joe Biden is pushing to end single-family zoning. The biggest item in Biden’s infrastructure bill, now being negotiated with Congress, is $213 billion he claims will to increase affordable housing. Biden wants to put the federal government in charge of zoning and distribute apartment buildings throughout single-family home neighborhoods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

That $213 billion is nearly twice the spending on roads and bridges. It will change towns everywhere and torpedo the American dream of a house with a patch of lawn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden’s plan should be called “hypocrisy housing.” Its backers are hypocrites. Biden himself owns a four-acre lakefront home in upscale Greenville, Delaware, where there is absolutely no public housing, affordable housing or rentals that accept housing vouchers. And don’t expect any to be built next door to the Bidens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats realize that people who live in the suburbs do not vote for them, so they are planning to dilute the suburban vote by moving people from the city, with the mindset of city residents, there. This would dramatically change America.<\/p>\n

The article at The Epoch Times concludes:<\/p>\n

Throughout the history of the United States, changing state lines has been a rare occurrence\u2014all taking place before the 20th century. In 1792, Kentucky was created from Virginia\u2019s territory, Maine was created from Massachusetts in 1820, and West Virginia in 1863 was admitted into the United States when Union states and counties separated themselves from the Confederate ones during the Civil War.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voters in Oregon\u2019s Harney and Douglas counties will hold a vote on similar measures in upcoming elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

McCarter told media outlets that Idaho state Reps. Barbara Ehardt and Judy Boyle, both Republicans, are planning to introduce a bill about a possible relocation of the Idaho\u2013Oregon border in January 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder if we will see more of this in the future.<\/p>\n
