| File under "Be careful of what you vote for". The ultimate goal of the newly formed political action committee Start our State is to split Pima County off into what would become the nation's 51st state, tentatively dubbed Baja Arizona. It'll never happen unless someone can figure out how to make a decent pattern for a 51-star flag. Backers have until July 5 next year to collect the 48,000 Unless, of course, "bearing fruit" means the salary for a bunch of lawyers who can't find something useful to do. "We at least need to get it on the ballot, as a nonbinding resolution, to ask the people of Pima County if they want to be a part of Arizona," Tucson attorney Paul Eckerstrom, a former Pima County Democratic chairman who launched the campaign, told Reuters. "All the stars would have to align for this to happen, but it could conceivably happen by the fall of 2013." Fine. Give the libs their stupid state. In five minutes it will be overrun with illegal immigrants and all the liberals will declare their plan a success while simultaneously evacuating the state. Of course, this state will have to be walled off before it is created because overnight it will be the official preferred entry point for more illegals. Unless the new state enacts some evil conservative legislation that makes illegal aliens, well, illegal. Or at least documents them. Make sure you have a plan to recover the state after this stupid lesson is finished. |

| #4 Hey! I live in Pima County and my ethnicity is "Left-Handed Russian Jew" - legal of course since I was born in Los Estados Unidos. The new state might be initially called "Baja Arizona" but would be a defacto "Norte Sonora". Seriously. __________ Mebbe I should petition a demand for ethnic studies centering on "Left-Handed Russian Jewish Americans"? Think that would fly down here? Beats the La Raza effort down here in the schools.....we could teach Hebrew and Yiddush. :)) |
