That recruitment process will continue with the California National Party’s third annual convention, which takes place on Sunday at the Betty Ong Rec Center in San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who has been at the forefront of a campaign to qualify a California secession initiative, is the keynote speaker. Attendees will also revise the party’s progressive official platform, which in addition to the contention that the Golden State is overtaxed and underrepresented on the national stage, advocates single-payer universal healthcare, an overhaul of policing and criminal justice policies, high-speed rail and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

The California National Party is distinct from “CalExit,” another effort to leave the United States and form a new country that has struggled so far to put that issue before voters. Members say they are interested in forming a more sustained political movement that can disrupt the two-party system. Louis Marinelli mounted the first campaign as a California National Party candidate last year, finishing third in the 80th Assembly District primary with about 6 percent of the vote, though the group says it never endorsed him.

Oh God you are right a meteor could hit me in the head today....

Would that be an improvement?

Why would we provide water, that is better used in places like Colorado, to a foreign nation? California would wither away drastically if the pipelines of water were turned off.

You do know that right?

And yes, Secession is a hostile act. The last time you tried it (so you could keep humans in bondage, as a state right you know), it didn’t work out very well did it?

[oldenuff35]

you are right, they can’t just do it.

These morons what to construct a European like socialist nation out of the state of Kalifornia.

Imposing on me that I will NOT be a citizen of the USA is a very firm reason to lock and load and dig in.

I spent over two decades in the service of my nation on active duty in the military. I have more than earned my citizenship and dam well intend to keep it and I have no intention of moving or losing the properties I own to a socialist state for whatever pennies they want to pay me for them

Long ago I raised my hand and swore to defend this nation form all enemies, foreign and domestic. Every single one of these idiots who vote to tear our nation up and/or remove my US citizenship instantly become my sworn enemy.

I believe there are tens of thousands of vets in Cali who believe exactly as I do. They were all well trained and are now well blended into our culture and society. They will make fantastic freedom fighters.

The socialists have been believing their own fantasies for way too long.

Power, water, and access to food can be shut off to them in less than a week and re-accomplished just as quickly when and as necessary.

There are a great many of us who want nothing to do with living in The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. I will not move. I may die in this fight but I will not live in their new country.

The socialists in the cities here ignore the rest of the state, they don’t give a damn what we think or want. They have more than enough votes in the cities to impose on us, politically, anything they want.

The socialist morons may put this on the ballot and have a slight chance to get it passed. If passed there will be a secondary vote centered along the red county lines of this state as they attempt to impose their socialist state on the proud well armed American citizens who reside there.
