City becomes Republic of Oroville? I find this interesting as a Mississippian though native and former resident of California's northern Central Valley, Hwy 49 Foothills as well Humboldt County.
Many outside California may be aware of the Bear Flag Revolt joined by both Americanos and Californios against the Mexican government's brand of despotism. What the same many may not be aware was the rebellious formation and 3-month existence of The Great Republic of Rough and Ready, against the territorial/federal rule of the larger California thus United States (over taxes once again).
THUS in that grand longstanding tradition of local nay individual sovereignty, now The Republic of Oroville. I tip my hat and raise a glass. Well done!
"This is the power and authority....and DUTY of the local government! If they took an oath to support and defend the Constitutions they must refuse to comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, and EOs that violate those documents! IT'S LITERALLY THEIR JOB!"
