Oregonians who are fed up with the blue state's policies are seeking to move the state's border and join the traditionally more conservative Idaho.
Oregonians who are fed up with the blue state's policies are seeking to relocate the Beaver State's border to neighboring Idaho, where the red state policies 'actually match their values.' The Greater Idaho Movement's Executive Director, Matt McCaw, told Fox News Digital that the movement to shift Oregon's border 200 miles west was created to bridge the growing 'tug of war' in the Beaver State.
The political 'tug of war' in Oregon has created a dividing conflict in the western state – aggravated by residents who have different values and needs from their elected officials. 'Eastern Oregonians are very different from western Oregonians,' McCaw said.
People are not looking for partisan bickering,' he said. 'What most people want are bipartisan solutions that create win-wins for everybody involved. That's what our solution does, that's what Greater Idaho does.' 'It creates a situation where the people in eastern Oregon get the government that they want and what the people in western Oregon get the government that they want and vote for,' McCaw added.
