Hello Oregon, NO. Have a nice day.

A quick phone call aught to take care of that and it wont cost us a dime.

I imagine that even if it somehow got past the people of Idaho, it wouldn't get through Congress and the Uniparty. The only way this happens is if things go totally sideways and a cooperative agreement is set up to set perimeters at the lines established by the ideas that have been introduced already. Idahoans don't want or need anyone from Oregon, no matter how "based" they may be. We have enough already. This is just mental masturbation much like the State of Jefferson.

First, my post was just to provide notice, although I think that I understand the views of most Idahoans, which is not in favor of the Greater Idaho movement. As far as the State of Jefferson, I think that it is a great idea with little to no chance of success.

If we got all of Oregon east of highway 97, we'd have an interesting state, but it would look strange on a map. Add in eastern Washington, and you've got something.

States don’t determine their borders.
Just another symbolic protest gesture without teeth?

Oregon’s fine anyway.
Look how well they pushed 114 onto the back burner

If they did not touch us or we them Idahoans would not be able to get Oregon CHLs.

They can do like I did and move. They want Idaho without the sacrifice.

Yuck. Leave spocompton in WA. Every time I pick people up from the airport I make sure they look at how gross WA is. Then drive through CDA and let them guess where the border is because the gross run down democratic garbage stops at the river.

Yes, the crime rate in Spokane is twice that in CDA which is slightly higher than Idaho overall.

You drive a hard bargain. Ok, leave Eastern Washington, we'll take the part of Montana west of the Wyoming border extended to Canada....

Edit to add: there's a long-standing myth that the original eastern border of Idaho was supposed to follow the Continental Divide instead of the Bitterroots, and that the surveyors got drunk or bribed. Not true, but a good story =)

Nope. I laugh every time I see it!

LOL. I had to go to Spokane for work once. Got to see a couple "women" go at each other hammer and tong outside the Marriott. Fisticuffs, hair pulling, thrown objects.... three police cruisers came and cleared up the brawl. I was across the street, so I smoked a cigar and watched the free floor show. Reminded me of Skid Row in L.A.

Yeah - wasn't impressed with Spokane, and was glad to get out.
