    Default Petition for CA to Vote for removal from the USA.

    This is silly.

    They are asking to send their petition to the U.N.?

    Stupid, just stupid. The U.N. has nothing to do with business inside our borders.

    Default Imo....

    I personally believe it's a great idea. Let them call themselves their own country. Let them separate from the USA. Great way for TRUMP to build another wall.
    If the people of CA want to be on their own. I say go for it.
    After all. California has the nation's largest farming communities, and they sell their products to the rest of the USA. So...they either go broke by trying to charge TOO MUCH, or they become dependent on FOREIGN AID from the USA, in order to support their people, maintain welfare, and of course, Hollywood. Where all of their politicians come from. Then, they would need to pay for DEFENSE protection from Washington, because the PENTAGON wouldn't keep bases where they are not WELCOME, or WANTED.
    If they want to go to the U.N. as a foreign nation. They will need to PAY for all of the services they formerly got automatically from WASHINGTON, D.C.
    Not to mention...gabby would need to give up her US citizenship, and the Democrats wouldn't have the largest number of ELECTORAL COLLEGE votes anymore. They'd need to elect C. West as their star president, with Leonardo DeCaprio, and George Clooney as the cabinet members with the biggest fan clubs to elect them.

    GO FOR IT CALIFORNIA. YOU NEED TO BE ON YOUR OWN, AWAY FROM FREEDOM, RIGHTS, LIBERTIES, and the U.S. Constitution that will no longer prevent your crime rates from climbing. And...just to let you know. I WILL NOT GIVE PERMISSION for anyone to GIVE, LEND, or TRADE U.S. Dollars with any of you. ENJOY!
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    Interesting. I wonder where they would get their water. How about electric power...not sure they have the capacity to generate all they need in the state. Of course, they would have open borders so no worries there about security. Trade might be an issue; lots of treaties to negotiate. Of course, current federal funding wouldn't matter since they have been subsidizing the rest of the US (so they say).


    I think this is a GREAT idea...let them go....it would benefit all....lol

    Maybe we can go to all of the TRUMP supporters with a Petition, and those uninformed, beach bums in CA who would sign anything...just to sound smart?

    The US Supreme Court ruled in Texas v White 1868 that states do not have a right to secede. It was a technical CPY for the US after just having denied the Southern states that very right by use of force. The field version: it stemmed from White trying to sue Tx for back wages he felt was owed him for service in US court. The SC ruled that he was not entitled to such wages because Tx had no right to secede. THAT is what our entire Constitution has to say about secession.

    As far as I'n concerned, CA can go. Nothing but drag on our economy and harbor probably half our illegals. Forget that open borders crap though. Their illegals will just come here. We can pay for the wall with all the handout money we won't be giving the place.

    I'll sign that petition.

    For once the moonbats have a good idea going... I guess even a blind pig finds a truffle now and then.

    I've had a better idea since the 80s and it would solve the ME crisis. Give CA to Israel as their very own country. They already own Hollywood and seem rather adept at clearing "undesirables" off their land.

    Well, that idea's got a real big downside, though... they'll build a wall and we'll be stuck with all the idiots again. Pretty soon we'd have to give away Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.

    Unless..... the CA gift would mandate that we ship overseas all our current rejects to Israel? Then the Arabs would take them over and have free labor for the next few generations. There's no downside to that plan!

    Think about it Gunny, and everyone else. IF California could leave the USA.

    "Nobody would notice it!" And, Washington D.C. could declare another National Holiday to celebrate. Relieving the tax paying citizens of the remaining 49 states of any burdens when California Finally Slides into the Pacific...and they have to ask Washington for help.
    We could then demand that CONGRESS only give California LOANS, that require repayment, with a LIBERAL 50% Interest Rate, Compounded Monthly.

    I'm willing to sign the petition. Let's ask gabby to SEND US A COPY???

    I've been for shipping our rejects to Iraq for quite awhile. The Dems better hope I never become President.

    have to love the idea that some on the left are beginning to think states rights mean something.

    They can find all kind of stuff when it suits them. Their version is usually as convoluted as anything else they come up with.

    rev. In theory, you may be right. But in California's case. If they are NO LONGER a U.S. State....if their people could secede from the UNION. States Rights go out the Window.
