The people behind California’s latest effort to leave the United States are confident this time and are preparing to fan out across the Golden State to collect signatures for a 2018 ballot initiative

“We feel like this current initiative is more feasible and will hold up more to scrutiny and legal challenges,” said Steve Gonzales, a member of the group California Freedom Coalition. A first attempt fizzled and was withdrawn.

Hey Maxine Watters....Take Kamila Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Gerry Brown with you.

Headline: California Politicians Vote to Cut Off Own Access to Washington Money and Power
Sub Headline: , receive Death Threats from Silicon Valley Tech Giants
“Camp Pendleton to Close Tomorrow”
“North Korea sets Nuclear Sights on Newly Formed Californica”
So the illegals who don’t pay taxes now will step up to the table and start paying for all the services, water, electricity, infrastructure and welfare benefits?
Hey Jim - if this goes through and CalExit happens, where will you and FR go?
And when most of its productive people secede to stay in USA or emigrate back into the 49?
We all know that would happen . . .and pronto
We'll have the land back in no time, and whoever supported this will need to find another country to live off of.
Yes, so different than 1861.
No matter, will never happen.
Without California’s 55 electoral college votes Dims would not win another Presidential election for 100 years.
California Dreamin’.
Though I wouldn’t mind San Fran and Lost Angeles to leave we’ve already had this conversation from 1861-1865.
Don’t be so sure. Look at the population of Texas. It’s changing.
Well, Hollywood will sacrifice and make up the difference...All the rich actors and such will give HUGE amounts of money to help their poor new country, dontcha know???
*ROFL*
Can just Los Angeles county and the western most sections of Northern Cali become their own country?
