3 THE PEOPLE OF AMADOR COUNTY CALIFORNIA DECLARATION AND PETITION TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE SUPPORTING THE WITHDRAWL OF AMADOR COUNTY FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHEREAS, there are times in our history when it is apparent that the political separation of one people from another becomes necessary, both for the survival of the one, as well as, the continued wellbeing of the other; and WHEREAS, the People of Amador County recognize the lack of representation for rural and frontier counties in the California Legislature and the People are aware of an increasing tendency by the State of California to exercise legislative and fiscal malfeasance in the form of an illegal fire tax, property rights violations, and assaults upon Second Amendment rights, as well as, disregard for other malienable rights of the Citizens of Amador County; and WHEREAS, State and Federal Agencies have, through aggressive regulation and reinterpretation of long-established laws have denied the County of Amador, its businesses, and its citizens access to our most abundant natural resources, causing untold harm to our economy, as well as to our health and public safety; and WHEREAS, State and Federal Agencies have, through a process commonly known as "sue and settle", compromised longstanding principles and priorities of beneficial use and stewardship of our natural resources while sacrificing public processes and open government; and WHEREAS, the People of Amador County have come to the realization that the State of California is ungovernable in its present form and the People of Amador County support this resolution for the Health, Welfare, and Public Safety of the people; and WHEREAS, the People of Amador County recognize that soon after statehood, credible efforts were made to split the state, with 45 proposals by 1998, including the sfrong Jefferson State movement of 1941 and the election

4 results of June 2,1992, when citizens of 27 counties by county advisory votes, voted in favor of splitting the State of California. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DECLARED that the People of Amador County desire, with the involvement of our citizens, and hopefully with the involvement of other California Counties within rural California, to withdraw Amador County from the State of California and Start Over by helping to form a new state which represents the needs, provides opportunity, and protects the rights, liberties, public health, and safety of the people of a new State of Jefferson; and BE IT FURTHER DECLARED, the Amador County Jefferson Declaration Committee has gathered signatures from the citizens of Amador County and as such will be the recognized entity representing Amador County in any and all judicial legislative or any other negotiates, or processes which contribute If and when the Amador Board of Supervisors affirms a Declaration to Withdraw from the State of California based on the results of the advisory vote scheduled for June, 2016, the Board will assume its rightful place along with the Amador Jefferson Declaration Committee in the formation of the State of Jefferson; and BE IT FURTHER DECLARED, as an alternative to the formation of the State of Jefferson, the Amador County Jefferson Declaration Committee will participate in a legal challenge to the lack of representation and dilution of vote within the California State Government; and BE IT FURTHER DECLARED that, pursuant to the requirements of Section 3 of Article TV of the United States Constitution, the People of Amador County request that the California Legislature approve the withdrawal from the State of California of the lands described below, to be incorporated in a new state along with the lands of other Counties, within or without the current boundaries of the State of California, which Counties declare similar intentions: The boundaries of Amador County are as follows: Beginning at the southwest comer, in the Mokelumne River, on the eastern boundary of San Joaquin; thence up said river to its junction with the north fork of said river; thence up the said north fork to the line of Alpine, being at a point south of the common comer of Amador, Alpine, and El

5 Dorado, which is in the center of the Amador and Nevada road, in front of Z. Kirkwood's house; thence north by the line of Alpine to said common comer, thence westerly along said road to a point east of the source of the south fork of the south fork of the Cosumnes River, thence west to said source; thence down the south fork of the south fork and the south fork and the main Cosumnes River to the easterly line of Sacramento; thence by the eastern lines of Sacramento and San Joaquin to the place of beginning.
