I'm always for separating.

I also want to separate from northern Wisconsin and have a similar relationship that WI has with MN right now.

Never happen. Too many parts.

I like the idea. Congress, however, would likely prefer a 5 state solution, to maintain the net Senate balance of power -- 3 Dem states and 2 GOP states. Jefferson would likely be too low in population to be accepted and would be included with North California. That would result in 3 Dem states (North California, Silicon Valley, West California), 1 GOP state (Central California), and 1 tossup (South California)...

I also prefer splitting Florida into 3 states --
1) South Florida (4 leftist counties with 8 congressmen)
2) West Florida (GOP, panhandle and west coast with Tampa Bay -- 11 congressmen)
3) East Florida (GOP, east coast with Gainesville, Orlando, Jacksonville -- 8 congressmen)

I liked the comment that if successful it's doubtful that the new states would be allowed in the USA union.
Is this a unique approach to secession?
Jefferson is a great name for a new country!
