East Washington;
The 51st State of the Union
Why do all the rural residents of
Eastern WA want to divide the state
into their own separate state of
"East Washington"?  
  • Urban living politicians from the West side of the state have no clue about managing the issues
    affecting an Ag, logging, and mining based economy that we have here in eastern WA.
  • Our eastern WA economy base is being attacked and destroyed by the extreme environmental
    policies and overboard regulations that are used to govern the densely populated areas like
    Seattle.  The west side's urban policies simply have no place in a rural eastern WA.
  • Eastern WA residents are almost entirely unrepresented in the west side's policies and bills, as
    the west side outnumbers our eastern WA Reps on every issue, therefore we have a situation of
    "taxation without representation" that we are no longer willing to tolerate.
Our plan, supported by our District
Reps, and Senator, is to help people's
businesses and incomes become
stable through dividing the state and
electing our own state government
that can effectively increase our
advantages in an Ag, logging and
mining based economy. The west
side of the state can manage their
own urban affairs and we can then
better manage our rural affairs and
improve them!  We view this as a
"Win-Win" scenario, when both sides
can more effectively address the
needs of their constituents!
The idea of dividing the state is not
new.  However, it has never been
such a dire situation for people living
in eastern WA, as they are watching
livestock farms collapse left and
right as a result of the west side's
illogical over- regulation.  Logging
and mining are taking huge hits right
now also, thanks to Sustainable
Development/Agenda 21 policies
allowed into our area from the UN.  
Gov. Gregoire has also INCREASED
the budget for the Dept of Ecology,
which has enabled them to harass
local rural businesses and livestock
operations to the point of shutting
them down altogether.
This site is currently under construction.  We will be happy to post your input and comments so long as
they do not contain any profanity or indecent references.  We can post comments and welcome
participation and promotion of this process.  We are currently awaiting Rep. Shea and Rep. Short's
endeavor to nullify Gov. Gregoire's Cap and Trade agenda, as well as the health care reform she plans to
put in place.  They are busy at work on this project of nullification in the Legislature.  We whole-heartedly
support their efforts to reign in the "out of control" and completely lost agenda for this state, and if their
efforts fall short, we plan to push full steam ahead into the legal and civil process of dividing this state,
accompanied by the Reps and Senators and Congressmen from the east side.  
The dividing line we are drawing between the east and the west sides, occurs where the Cascades hit the
valleys and follow the line both north and south.  Let the west side manage their own mountain roads and
passes.  
We are all looking forward to dividing the state and ending the incredulous gas tax, over-regulation of our
businesses, absence of representation in all votes, and the extreme liberal policies of Gov. Gregoire.
The residents of eastern WA, are in essence, saying that we are more than fed up, and we will not stand
for it any longer.  From what we can see from the west side's ongoing increase in regulations on a daily
basis, it only stands to get worse from here if we don't act now.  
So please help spread the word about this effort, as we'll need massive support from every person on the
east side to finalize this "divorce" we have started!  Thank you for your support, and keep checking back as
we will be adding new polls, surveys, commentary sections, and articles.
