Anti-Trump secessionists filed formal paperwork Monday launching their petition drive aimed at separating California from the union by first putting the issue before voters on the 2018 ballot.

A petition submitted by the Yes California Independence Campaign calls for repealing language in the state constitution that describes California as an “inseparable part” of the nation and holding a vote on independence on March 13, 2019.

Go CA via con Dios! and AMF!

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you.

[trisham]

Good point. No way that would happen.

[trisham]

No, they wouldn’t.

[Chickensoup]

Canada doesn’t want these people. They work hard not to have suck pump people.

One needs lots of money to emigrate to Canada. and California would not be enough.

[trisham]

I can’t believe that anyone here would support this idiotic idea.

[central_va]

There is a small cadre of blood thirsty unionists that would want a war. But these aren't your GGGF Yankess that possessed large cojones. These neo Unionists are big talking pussies.

[Right-wing Librarian]

It would be great if they really did secede.
Since they love open borders and illegal immigrants, we could build a secure wall and send all the illegals to their welcoming arms.

Good luck getting any water from the Colorado River, and by the way, a good portion of their electricity is generated in Nevada and Utah.

[dirtboy]

No more Colorado River water.

[central_va]

It is not idiotic and long over due. We ARE a house divided. So how many would have to die to drag CA back into the Union? !,000,000? Blood thirsty one you are.

[central_va]

Gee you think 30,000,000 people could figure out how to develop electrical power?

[trisham]

Secessionists= traitors. Really, really stupid traitors.

[dirtboy]

These neo Unionists are big talking pussies.

If the current batch of millenials stormed the beaches at Normandy, Rommel could have held them off with an iPhone, Twitter and Instagram.

[arthurus]

How can we support those californians in their wonderful endeavour?

[Vaduz]

They may want to check their paper work when they joined the union oh wait shit for brains California in motion.

[Redleg Duke]

AMF, Retards!

[central_va]

If the Unionists start something in the face of a CA secession I will have to go to CA and fight for them on general principles.

1. They lose all current intellectual Patent, copyright and trademarks.

I doubt that's possible. If California does go, we won't be lengthening copyright terms, though, and may even shorten them.

Hollywood -- and especially Disney -- are the reason we keep extending copyright periods.

2. We keep San Diego and San Francisco.

85% of the vote in San Francisco went for Clinton. You won't be able to keep them in the union if California goes.

But there's a case for keeping federal bases whatever happens. National parks and forests, too?

Of course, secession isn't going to happen.
