Yawn... Key West has been trying this for decades..
LET California secede-PLEASE! They THINK they control the country- so let them BE one and then negotiate with the US for everything from water to oil. Once Mexico occupies them fully we can extend the wall northward to seal them all of in their imagined utopia.Their own transgendered army for defense, their own tax and economic system( everything free for everyone), Kumbaya as their anthem and Meryl Streep and Rosie O’Donnell as co- Presidents! Just think of all the implications! It would be sweeeeet!
Can those of us NOT in California sign the petition also? That way we can make our position known.
“On September 20, 1995, it was reported that the 478th Civil Affairs Battalion of the United States Army Reserve was to conduct a training exercise simulating an invasion of a foreign island. They were to land on Key West and conduct affairs as if the islanders were foreign. However, no one from the 478th notified Conch officials of the exercise.
Seeing another chance at publicity, Wardlow and the forces behind the 1982 Conch Republic secession mobilized the island for a full-scale war (in the Conch Republic, this involved firing water cannons from fireboats and hitting people with stale Cuban bread), and protested to the Department of Defense for arranging this exercise without consulting the City of Key West. The leaders of the 478th issued an apology the next day, saying they “in no way meant to challenge or impugn the sovereignty of the Conch Republic”, and submitted to a surrender ceremony on September 22.” from wiki
