Dividing New York State

Help Divide New York State into Three Autonomous Regions.

Splitting the State of New York into separate states is preferable, but autonomous regions should be easier to achieve.

Because by forming Regions not a new state or moving counties between states; Congress can be legally bypassed. All that is needed is an amendment to the state Constitution. Since Congress is unlikely, in the foreseeable future, to give the Northeast two more US Senate seats a new state would require.

Our Secession plan calls for establishing a more representative form of government than the strange form of democracy NYS currently has which allows downstate to rule upstate which destroys good paying jobs upstate, while upstate can occasionally block things downstate wishes to enact.

We would partition NYS into three Autonomous Regions: the New Amsterdam Region (upstate), the New York Region (NYC), and the Montauk Region (Long Island & Rockland/Westchester) alongside a token state government to comply with the US Constitution. The token NYS government that remains would have about the same power as the Queen of England.
