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 we’re going through now,” Conway told FOX31 Denver Thursday afternoon.
