The story, in case you haven't heard:
Rural county commissioners discuss seceding from Colorado
http://kdvr.com/2013/06/06/rural-county-commissioners-discuss-seceding-from-colorado/
A group of county commissioners say they are pursuing a plan to secede from Colorado and create a new state because they feel the Democrat-controlled state legislature is not representing their way of life.
Sean Conway, a commissioner in Weld County, is leading a charge to ask voters in November whether to form a new state.
I know you think, wow, this is crazy when you first hear about it, but then you realize that five of our states Vermont, Maine, Tennessee, Wyoming and Kentucky came about in this fashion, and the circumstances were very similar to what were going through now, Conway told FOX31 Denver Thursday afternoon.
