The state of Jefferson was an actual political movement, afaik.
Having an Offroad club, driving a gas/diesel guzzling SUV in the woods is a political issue to some people and offensive in and of itself.. So obviously we can't be politics free..
There is a "Jefferson Public Radio" and a couple other businesses that use the name but I think a lot of people wouldn't get it vs. something regional like, Siskiyou, Crater Lake, Rogue etc.
I think as a club protecting our trails and hobbies for the future is one political issue we all agree on and a cause worth uniting for and possibly something forming a club is an opportunity to represent the responsible majority in the off-road community...
Just letting my imagination run wild a bit in the above post....

I picture the State of Jefferson movement as being the mostly rural areas having their own representation vs. Metropolitan areas dictating laws for rural areas... Left or Right, sounds novel BUT it is a political issue, albeit historic I suppose. I think it could be put up for a vote but I think the concept of having a club name/acronym (acronym) that covers who we are, where we are from and what we are about.. leaving politics out of it.
I think its kind of nifty when the name sounds more official than just a club... coalition, authority, militia society (although there is already a rock-crawling-jeep-society in the coastal N. Cal. area)
I'm picturing some badge like logos officially displayed (magnetic door logo) ;). Maybe get some green pants, tan collared shirt, snap on pony tail with a Willy Nelson head band and a clip board... A USF green paint job would top it off nicely- nah, that's going too far..

Aww damn, does that mean I have to bring back the green paint now . . .
It's all good I laughed.

I'm not apposed to a Jefferson State name, I also like the TORC one as my top two choices at the moment.
 
Something "Jefferson State" or "State of Jefferson" was the first thing I thought of but can see how it might have an association with more than a regional area..

Yep, when I threw the club idea out there my first thought was Jefferson State Cruisers. After reading up on Jefferson State I discovered an article on the Siskiyou Trail which I thought was pretty unique and fitting as well.
 
So we've been a club for 6 years!! Why didn't we have an anniversary party!!! Where's our President? Oh yeah, she's busy eating food off of someone else's plate..
 
Jefferson State Cruisers. That's it. The more people here it the more will know what it means. It's not a physical reality thanks to Tojo attacking Pearl Harbor. Everyone knows we live in The State of Jefferson.;)
