A group of left-wing Californians, frustrated with the recent election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States, has filed an application to put a secession referendum Calexit on the 2018 ballot.
The East Bay Times reports that the group, called Yes California, intends to circumvent the U.S. Congress:
A yes vote would trigger a special election the following March in which residents would decide if California should become a free, sovereign and independent country.
Another yes vote would require the governor of the newly minted Republic of California to apply to the United Nations for membership.

Yeah that’s true. Merle Haggard made it big in Bakersfield.
“I will do everything in my power to see that CA secedes if they want to.”
Then move there.
Well...bye.
They can take whatever parts vote to go.
The rest stays.
Good luck running a country with little to export other than crappy movies.
Let them go,than invade and reconstruct them.
We are going to build a wall and they are going to pay for it.
Best response to these Leftists:
“Don’t you Democrats remember what happened the last time you tried this after losing a Presidential Election to a Republican?”.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chicoms are bankrolling this effort as a means of destabilizing the US.
Plus we get RID of the entire 6 th Circus (the Judges have to stay with Freak/CommiFornia!)
Put them all on Alcatraz. Problem solved.
Let them go as long as they take their fair share of Obama’s twenty trillion dollar debt. I would divide it up as a percentage of the number of electoral votes cast for him.
And shortly thereafter, without access to a LOT of Federal tax dollars, they would jump the border into the USofA because there would be no source of all the “free” crap they crave.....Kalifornia would become a wilderness no-man’s land....
I am in California. I would vote in favor of this and if successful move out of California.
Of course it will never happen, but we can dream.
FreeRepublic is located in Fresno, which last time I looked was in California.
They can pay us back the taxes we’ve pissed about for nearly 200 years.
Give Seattle, Portland and New England to Canada and California to Mexico. We’ll take Jefferson (southern Oregon and interior norCal). Is that a deal?
Hey California maroons, good luck with having to set up and manage your own military, treasury, National Security Agency, terrorist-fighting organization, etc.
We will have a great time laughing and pointing!!
On a related topic, California should be divided (not north south but east west.
Separate the coastal cities with the eastern side. Sacramento reflects the population in the big cities and all but ignores the wishes of those on the interior.
Bye bye.
