El Dorado statehood initiative group to be in South Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A group representing the current El Dorado statehood initiative will be in South Lake Tahoe on Saturday, October 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Raley's Parking Lot. They will be under the green and gold pop-up tent.

They will be handing out U. S. Constitutions and informing the public about their survey asking "YES" or "NO" to have the county leave the State of California and taking on the new name of The Republic of El Dorado State.

The survey is for South Lake Tahoe residents to let the group know if locals want them to pursue statehood just for El Dorado County, or not. The group started five months ago to build a state "that cherishes the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence."

This is the newest effort after creating the State of Jefferson through several Northern California and Southern Nevada counties failed.
