    Default Bye Bye California!

    I'm sure there may be a negative or 2 about this happening, but I can't find them

    Oh, and being a HUGE Democrat state, and the supposed Russian involvement... just saying!

    CalExit II Approved to Gather Signatures for Right to Secede

    For the second time in less than a year, the CalExit effort in California will gather signatures for the right to secede from the United States.

    According to the Sacramento Bee, California’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra granted the remaining CalExit group the right to gather signatures to put a referendum on the ballot:

    The state attorney general issued an official ballot measure title and summary Tuesday. The campaign can now start gathering the more than 585,000 signatures it will need to qualify for the 2018 ballot.

    The initiative would form a commission to recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state.
    This will be the second attempt to put a secession measure on the 2018 ballot. The first attempt failed, and was subsequently withdrawn from consideration in April.

    The original initiative was clouded by rumors of Russian involvement and irreconcilable differences among leadership.

    This latest initiative, which will be titled “California Autonomy From Federal Government,” according to Becerra’s press release, must gather 585,000 valid signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot.

    The Los Angeles Times is reporting that CalExit II, as it’s come to be known, has been modified substantially from the original CalExit effort:

    The proposal, scaled back from an initially more aggressive version, would direct California’s governor to negotiate more autonomy from the federal government, including potentially putting forward a ballot measure to declare independence.

    The initiative wouldn’t necessarily result in California exiting the country, but could allow the state to be a “fully functioning sovereign and autonomous nation” within the U.S.

    I love it. Let them try. Let them go. Let them see if any FEDERAL aid comes their way should the BIG ONE suddenly strike with that 9.0 Quake.
    How bout all of the FEDERAL, U.S. Military bases in CA?
    They are not the property of California. So the bordering states who remain will suck up all of the progress being removed from the THAN FRAN THISCO world of Hollyweirdo's.

    This may, and should become CA's new flag....<img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQtKaDFKM1alha-5KtJ8Fk_ZMVT9AqhbG1jlJROglxUekTvgTBa">

    Problemo Numero Uno for Californication ...

    States do not have a Right to secede as decided in TX v White, 1868, by the US Supreme Court.

    As far as I am concerned, they can go and take their deficit that is more than all other state deficits combined with them. But we KNOW this is just grandstanding by the Commie-Cal's. They want some attention and concessions same as Yng Fat Cow in N Korea does.

    You are right gunny. But I enjoy humoring them, and letting them all be dumb enough to actually think they will get anywhere.

    Kinda makes me wonder how all of those who WANT this could even consider HOW they would manage without the FED. Since the state is nearly, and literally Broke without the other 49 states chipping in on their Stupidity.

    It because of all them mountain ranges on the State border.

    The nuts and fruits try to climb them to get out, fail, then roll on back into the State

    My, how the talk has changed from when Texas was talking of seceding. California, of course, contributes more to support America's third world made up of the Rightard states than it gets from the federal government. Hey, any of you Deplorables wanta talk about what happened when rightards were able to implement their full loony on the supply-side paradise of Kansas?

    I saw trump was able to rescue the governor, dead-man-walking Brownback, making him Christian ambassador to the world, or some such silliness.

    Didn't need to conflate anything. Today, in CA. They are ONE and the SAME.

    Too bad you had to let all of us know so much about you so soon. It might have been fun if you didn't find the instant need to be so defensive as a liberal.
