First California, now Oregon: Portlanders submit ballot petition asking for the state to secede from the union following Trump’s election win
Jennifer Rollins and Christian Trejbal filed Oregon Secession Act as a ballot initiate on Thursday in response to Trump’s election victory
They claim values held by Oregonians are not same as values held by rest of the country, as shown by the election outcome
He said: ‘Equality is not a value that a lot of states hold. There is bigotry out there against minorities, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ community’
Trejbal added that a ‘viable way to go forward’ with exiting the union is if Oregon joined with other states like California and did so together
On Wednesday venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar proposed that California should secede from union to escape a Trump presidency
Other Silicon Valley investors support him like Cheezburger founder Ben Huh, Design, Inc. CEO Marc Hemeon and Path founder David Morin
The Constitution includes procedures as to how a new state can enter the union, but it doesn’t say how one can exit as it’s never been done

Two days following Donald Trump’s stunning election victory, a petition for a ballot initiative in Oregon has been filed to have the state secede from the United States.
Attorney Jennifer Rollins and writer Christian Trejbal filed the Oregon Secession Act on Thursday morning.
‘Part of it is a response to the election and part of it is we wanted to move quickly while there is passion out there and people are willing to entertain this idea,’ Trejbal told KATU.
He claims that values held by Oregonians are not the same as the values held by the rest of the United States, as shown by the outcome of the election.
‘Equality is not a value that a lot of states hold,’ Trejbal said. ‘There is bigotry out there against minorities, people of color, against immigrants, against the LGBTQ community.’
