Cascadian secession autonomy groups I will continue to revert the inappropriate deletion of references to historically verifiable Cascadian secessionist autonomy movements by as his stated grounds for doing so are fallacious That there have been and continue to be groups of people in the Pacific northwest who advocate the creation of new geopolitical political entities of various sorts and that the term Cascadia is applied to many of them is a documented historic fact extending back to at least WW2 Asserting that there is no facility for secession in the US Constitution is irrelevant in the context of that discussion Secessionist groups exist and Wiki s business is to document them just like it documents the existence of political parties sects terrorist groups and other notable organisations that posses a clear dogmatic foundation After all there was no facility for secession from the British Empire in 1776 either but that didn t stop a buch of tax avoiders founding the United States There are dozens of other equally appropriate historic examples I support this user and will do so in action as well as text I am missing in the article references for current organized secessionist autonomist political parties and their support Aren t there any and this is only an intellectual movement at this time Thanks Gene thank you for reverting the deletion of details regarding the historical aspects of Cascadian secession independence We in Cascadia thank you 04 48 GMT 3 July 2005 First Use of Name The following has been moved from Talk Cascadia First Use of Name when the article was split on Anyway the name s use for the political concept came from that professor it s not organic or related either to the architectural style or the town name but comes from an amalgam of the Cascades and the idea of cascades all the rivers cascading to the sea etc Yawn The article reads by the way as if Cascadia actually exists e g places inside Cascadia which is pretty misleading I was tempted to put a POV tag on it but will give that some thought as to why If you d like I could write up some issues to do with the political logistics of trying to integrate BC into WA OR different political and legal systems extant for one thing unresolved native land claims another multicultural Asiana issues and more Shockingly there s no article on western separatism or even western alienation yet We do have articles on politcal parties like Western Canada Concept etc Found Alberta separatism Secessionist movements of Canada Infobox Should there be a infobox on this possible state No because not being a state most sections are unclear There are no agreements on anything on that info sheet except probably the time zone and maybe the calling code Even the official language is up for debate since Oregon and Washington have none and likely wouldn t want one I also have my doubts it would be a Republic or have
