California announces proposal to exit U.S.

The proposal for California to secede from the U.S. was submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office on Thursday, according to a report. The proposed “Calexit” initiative was a name borrowed from the UK’s “Brexit” departure from the EU. “Calexit” 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 Donald Trump, according to the proposal. 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.

“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 subsidising the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children,” the Yes California Independence Campaign’s website says.Full Story

The effort to secede California from U.S. to get reboot

The plan, which organizers are preparing to announce this week, marks the latest setback — and rebirth — of a quixotic yet much-ballyhooed #Calexit campaign, which abandoned a similar signature-gathering effort last year.

“Why not do something to right some of the wrongs of the past to the Native American people, and give them back their land?” Louis J. Marinelli, a Calexit co-founder, said Tuesday.

Instead, he said that if California voters approve of secession, campaign organizers will seek resolutions of support from a majority of state legislatures throughout the country.

“Then,” Marinelli said, “the world will hopefully be willing to support that as a legitimate secession.” Full Story

New California declares attempts to Declare ‘independence’

Their solution: Take over most of current-day California — including many rural counties — and leave the coastal urban areas to themselves.

“The current state of California has become governed by a tyranny,” the group, led in part by vice chairman Robert Paul Preston, declared in a document published online.

The split would look something like this, per the group:

“After years of over taxation, regulation, and mono-party politics the State of California and many of it’s 58 Counties have become ungovernable,” the group said in a statement, citing a “decline in essential basic services” including education, law enforcement, infrastructure and health care.

The group, organized with a council of county representatives and various committees, hopes to model their split after the state of West Virginia. That’s according to CBS, whose Sacramento affiliate filmed the reading in a sparsely filled conference room. Full Story
