You are now entering Jefferson, the 49th State of the Union.
Jefferson is now in patriotic rebellion against the states of California and Oregon.
This State has seceded from California and Oregon this Thursday, November 27, 1941. Patriotic Jeffersonians intend to secede each Thursday until further notice.
For the next hundred miles as you drive along Highway 99, you are traveling parallel to the greatest copper belt in the far West, seventy-five miles west of here.
The United States government needs this vital
mineral. But gross neglect by California and Oregon deprives us of
necessary roads to bring out the copper ore.
If you don't believe this, drive down the Klamath River highway and see for yourself. Take your chains, shovel and dynamite.
Until California and Oregon build a road into
the copper country, Jefferson, as a defense-minded State, will be forced
to rebel each Thursday and act as a separate State.

Where is the State of Jefferson? Mostly in the minds
of a small band of die-hard believers. History supports
the idea by numerous 'uprisings' including the temporary
closure of a major Highway. Historians and would-be
politicians have drawn several different boundaries for the new state. Residents are enchanted with the geographical and social distinction. Join us, then link to StateOfJefferson.Com and help the dream grow once more. The movement lives on!
