At WaEx, Lawmaker urges Maryland and Virginia counties to secede and join West Virginia
West Virginia state Sen. Chris Rose is renewing and expanding his push for conservative-leaning counties in Maryland and Virginia to break away from their states and unite with West Virginia — a campaign he has labeled “An Appeal to Heaven.”
On Tuesday, Rose announced on X that he was broadening his proposal to include additional counties in western Virginia.
“Exciting update on our Appeal to Heaven movement for freedom in Appalachia!” Rose wrote. “Due to overwhelming interest and support, I’m thrilled to announce we’ve expanded our Senate resolution inviting even more Virginia counties, along with counties from Maryland, to join West Virginia. Now including Amherst, Bedford, Botetourt, Floyd, Pulaski, and Rockbridge, counties that share our values of freedom, Second Amendment rights, and rural prosperity. Let those country roads take you home. Break free from out of touch policies and unite for a stronger future.”
Rose urged residents to “take action now,” linking to a petition and telling followers to “sign the petition in the comments below to support this movement and make your voice heard!”
What about us! Don't leave us with them. It's not like we want to join Delaware!Exciting update on our Appeal to Heaven movement for freedom in Appalachia!

Democracy will not survive if their enemies are allowed to escape their onerous taxation systems. East Germany installed a wall but it was not to keep west Germany out.
