    Officials announce proposal that would establish California as separate nation

    Officials announce proposal that would establish California as separate nation

    January 27, 2017

    A proposal for California to secede from the United States was submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office Thursday.

    The proposed “Calexit” initiative - its name borrowed from the UK's "Brexit" departure from the EU - would ask voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable part of the U.S.

    A recent poll found that one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. due to their opposition to President Trump. No mention has been made of the president in the proposal.

    If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it could be a step to a future vote on whether the state would break away from the rest of the nation.

    Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the group behind the proposal, Yes California Independence Campaign, was cleared to begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000 voter signatures needed to place the plan on the ballot.

    "In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children," the Yes campaign's website says.

    Similar attempts to establish California as a nation, or break it into multiple states, have failed.

    The proposed constitutional amendment, titled California Nationhood, would also ask voters to repeal language that states the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law. If approved, it calls for scheduling a vote in 2019 to ask voters, "Should California become a free, sovereign and independent country?"

    "America already hates California, and America votes on emotions," Marcus Evans, vice president of Yes California told the Los Angeles Times. "I think we'd have the votes today if we held it."

    The campaign must submit the valid voter signatures by July 25 to qualify for the ballot.

    Oh, so they're doing this because they don't like our President Trump? Oh Lord, then it's illegal aliens behind this, I knew it wasn't Americans.

    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    I would support the idea if many of the liberals in Oregon and Washington state along with all illegal aliens in other states agreed to move to California as part of the separation.

    They should know there facts prior to posting incorrect data for all to see.

    The U.S. Taxpayer picks up the tab & subsidizes all of California short-falls, budget deficits, education , criminal jails and list can go on for a mile....

    California high taxes to subsidize and support the illegal aliens resulted in a total exodus of both people and business leaving
    you insolvent from lack of tax revenue.

    California has destroyed itself over illegal immigration. This is what criminal cartels and corruption do to a city, a town, a county, a state and eventually a nation.

    Really Washington State?

    I do a lot of business in Washington and I hear the same complaints and concerns to ours on this forum.

    It's probably an illegal alien racist group that filed the proposal so they can take back their land stolen
    by the racist, white, imperialistic Anglo's.

    Yeah, there's something very sinister behind it. Without the United States protecting it, California is a sitting duck. Without the United States, they wouldn't even have a water supply. These people are ignoramuses, they aren't from the United States, let alone California. Someone should check their "voter registration". Aren't you supposed to be a legal citizen voter to sign a petition? Who verifies that?
