SF: An organization hoping to facilitate the secession of California from the Union is holding a meet and greet on the Capitol steps in Sacramento next Wednesday, November 9, 2016, or, the day after the presidential election.
The Yes California Independence Campaign, which is based in San Diego, is aiming to qualify a citizen’s initiative in 2018 to get a referendum for secession on the ballot in 2019. They’ll be in Sacramento to garner support for their initiative.
“In our view,” a statement on its website reads, “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.”
And it appears the organization has been considering its strategy for quite a while now. On its site, you’ll find a link to a 33-page “Blue Book” wherein the organization answers any hypothetical questions about the state becoming its own country. The details for the secession — dubbed the #CalExit — include such topics such as “Will we join the United Nations?” and “Will we have our own Olympic team?”. MORE
So, when California talks about it, it’s OK, but when Texas does, it’s wrong?

Works for me. How many (blue) electoral votes does CA have?
Jeez. Too funny. California is bleeding money caused by these very same people. I wonder if these ass holes realize Fed Money is gone? Not to mention these very same ass holes did a lot to chase any and all businesses out of Cakifornia. Honestly we should be allowed to line these fuckers up and shoot them with a illegal mag.
They’re globalist free-trade/open border/Free-Shit-Army-enabling faggots (read their guide).
Day Two after secession should see the 90%+ of California that is not San Fagcisco/Siliclown Valley or Los Angeles secede from the urban areas of California, and build a wall at the new borders.
No gates.
The urban areas can be like Singapore, but with stupider people, and in Mexican*.
* Mexican is a dialect of Spanish where at least every third word of a sentence is profanity.
AC, If they pulled it off, which I hope they do would result in the great state of Jefferson. That would make my day.
OK.
Will they build a wall around it?
They can’t even manage to water their lawns. They can’t exist without Federal Govt subsidies. This is nothing but west coast fantasy bullshit, it’s never gonna happen.
Alright Mexico, you can have it but you have to take all the beaners and all the Californicaters with you.
A deals’ a deal and you can’t give’em back.
You need to understand that when poor downtrodden leftists secede from their countries, they still expect to receive said countries to continue to bestow money upon them. To not do so would be racist, or something.
here must be something in the water in Kommiefornia. Man I feel sorry for conservatives in that state. They manage this crazy scheme the whole state will look like Detroit before long. 🙄
It won’t work. Once they realize everyone in the new ‘country’ is a welfare leach and there are no actual tax-paying working citizens, they’ll beg to be let back into the United States.
California is like Quebec Province in Canada. They hate the rest of the country and would love to secede, but they’re broke.
(Incidentally, the question of whether or not the U.S. Government would allow States to secede was settled by a little thing called The War Between the States, or as we call it here in the South, The War of Northern Aggression.)
🙂
They’d have better luck getting this thru, if they’d claim that California would ‘re-join’ Mexico.
These stories always amuse and perplex me. The part about a bunch of California Limousine Commies trying to run a country is laughable. The bit about them underwriting other states is even funnier. There’s never any real data to back it up only the ‘conclusions’ of a bunch of liberal idiots with an agenda. What confuses me is where they get the idea that they have more money going out than coming in. Their economy? It’s based on entertainment, agriculture, and tourism. Look up how many movie/recording studios are foreign owned. You think that money stays in Cali? Agriculture? If all the water coming from the Colorado river system and the Cascades was diverted elsewhere, SoCal would revert back to the semi-arid desert it used to be and the diverted water would make a new agricultural powerhouse elsewhere. Now we have tourism. If they secede you can save your money and take a trip to Venezuela instead.
