MOVE WASHINGTON'S BOARDER FOR A GREATER IDAHO

The Issue

Join the movement to relocate the Washington/Oregon/Idaho border to make all three states better.

Counties can become a part of Idaho. State lines have been relocated many times in American history because it just takes an interstate contract between two state legislatures and approval of Congress.

If the United States were governed as a single state, we wouldn’t have the opportunity for state governance to vary according to the culture of a local area. The purpose of having state lines is to allow this variance. The Oregon/Idaho border was established 161 years ago and is now outdated. It makes no sense in its current location because it doesn’t match the location of the cultural divide in these states. The Oregon/Washington border was updated in 1958. It’s time to move our borders again.

Areas that vote like Idaho does, and are economically healthy enough to be welcomed by Idaho are: eastern Washington, southern, and most of central Oregon, and northeastern California.

This proposal is different from creating a new state because it does not affect the balance of power in the US Senate. This means that it’s more likely to be approved by the Washington Legislature.

Our proposal is a win-win for the interests of each state legislature, and for the counties that get to switch states.

Please help to make this proposal possible. You can donate using GoFundMe. or PayPal All donations will be used to create and distribute literature and educate the public about the benefits of a greater Idaho.
