The city of Oroville in Northern California voted to declare itself a “Constitutional Republic City” to protect its citizens against tyrannical state and federal COVID mandates.
In a 6-1 vote by Oroville’s city council on November 6, members approved the motion with the power to opt out of enforcing “any executive orders issued by the state of California or by the United States federal government that are overreaching or clearly violate our constitutionally protected rights.”
The city of Oroville has a population of over 15,000.
“What we are doing is protecting our citizens’ rights as much as we can on the local level,” Oroville Vice Mayor Scott Thomson told Fox News Digital.
“In a way, we are acting as a sanctuary city for our citizens and their rights and freedoms protected by the U.S. and state constitutions,” continued Thomson. “Gavin Newsom [California’s governor] modeled this type of declaration for us when he declared San Francisco a sanctuary city [for illegal immigrants] for what he believed to be overreach by the federal government against his citizens.”
Thomson, who was the person who proposed the now-approved measure, said the decision had to be made as “we’re not talking about one mandate,” but rather “a barrage of mandates.”
“I think it’s time for us to draw a line in the sand,” stated the vice mayor. “Enough is enough….”
The above comes from a Nov. 26 story in LifeSiteNews.
You be you, Oroville. 13 people have died of COVID in Butte county in the last two weeks, compared to 3 in the far more populous San Francisco County in the same time period.
Besides, it’s pretty unusual for cities to enforce federal laws anyway.
YFC, you won’t be happy until their are more lockdowns.
Bohemind that is a lie
OMG 13 died in two weeks? That’s as bad as the flu. Lockdown everything.
OK smarty “Bad As” pants. I thought you were pro-life? Who said lock down everything? All we said was vaccinate.
Actually, in all of 2018, Butte County had 65 flu deaths. They have had 313 COVID deaths, which means that, so far, they actually have been fairly unscathed by the virus.
Those leftist cities that started the whole “sanctuary city” classification aren’t going to like this one bit.
I wonder how many now hospitalized with severe “COVID” symptoms had been vaxxed? Those numbers are never given. The VAX could not possibly cause the problem, or could it? (Let’s not think or talk about it).
Those numbers are given periodically by the CDC. Currently, vaccinated people are something like 12 times less likely to be hospitalized than nonvaxxed. You can look up the current precise number.
The vaccine is not causing the problem. There have been fully vaccinated people who got severe Covid and some died. Most of the cases of sever Covid are among the unvaccinated.
People who oppose getting vaccinated themselves or encourage others to not get vaccinated are just bat-shit-stupid and you can’t fix stupid so let’s stop responding to their posts.
Bob One, I understand what you are saying. Speaking for myself, I don’t expect to change the bat shit stupid people. I post so that other more rational folks who stumble upon their posts won’t be easily fooled by their foolishness.
Bob One and YFC perfect ruling class coastal elites…guess what fellas neither one of you are arbiters of Truth…
I don’t have to be an arbiter of truth, because almost everyone who dies now of COVID are unvaccinated. The grave is their arbiter of truth.
How many deaths that were reported as COVID related had zero to do with the virus.
Two or three
CDC, and Biden, and Leftists push vaccines on everyone— young, old, children, those with natural immunity and even pregnant women.
See the very high increase of stillborn babies in Canada in this link:

I hope all pregnant and unvaccinated women will talk to their own doctors about the risks of contracting COVID while pregnant and the role vaccines can play in saving lives. No substack should substitute for sound medical advice.
So the Oroville Dam City has declared itself a “Constitutional Republic City.” For the record, this actually means nothing. Oroville would do itself and the citizens of Butte County a big favor by going after the methamphetamine labs in Oroville and the surrounding area rather than thumbing its nose at Governor Newsome.
Receiving gene therapy should be a personal choice and not a mandate. The controversy over the gene therapy mandates is laudable on both sides. The real issue is trust. How can you trust a government that kills people in the womb. How can you trust they won’t kill you out of the womb. In both the pro-life movement and in the Covid virus you see certain narratives being suppressed by the legacy media and the government. If you are pro-life then you are portrayed as a person who is ultra right wing with racist tendencies. If you don’t want to receive gene therapy you are portrayed as someone who wants to kill people. In both cases you see your opinions being suppressed. Even though 50,000 people march every January in San Francisco to stop abortion you don’t see it reported on by the legacy media. You see the same thing happen with doctors who treat covid patients with a regime of vitamins, anti viral medication like ivermectin. They get suppressed like the prolife people, like president Trump was suppressed. People are not getting gene therapy because they can’t trust those who have proven themselves untrustworthy.
What they are doing in Orville is giving people hope. People feel that they have been listened to. They have a place to take sanctuary and live out what they believe. If you live in Orville and you have gotten the gene therapy for covid it’s ok, no one is going to shame you. If you live in Orville and you decided to pass on the gene therapy no is going to shame you. That’s the way it should be.
The COVID vaccines are not gene therapy. Genes exist in the nucleus of the cell. None of the vaccines enter the nucleus, and none contain genes.
You are right about trust, though. People who spread lies including the one that the vaccines are gene therapy should not be trusted.
