Now might be a time to try it again???
Would be nice, but, unfortunately, I am living on the, shall we say, “WRONG” side of the track :>)
California should be divided into North California and South California with the division at Santa Maria. If the south should unilaterally declare herself free, we could reject the Sacramento budget and Arnold. We could select a conservative interim Governor. We need a good conservative like maybe Jon Voit. Then we could start from scratch with a conservative government (even if we have Hollywood in the state).
We should make the declaration of independence on April First! A fitting day for a new state.
