The proposal to split California into three separate states is gaining traction just months ahead of the 2018 midterms, with many voters agreeing that the Golden State is simply too diverse and large to properly govern. The movement -dubbed by many as Cal3- calls for the division of California into three smaller states; each anchored by a major metropolitan center serving as the territory’s capital. While the direct plan has yet to be revealed, many are calling for the creation of California with Los Angeles as the state capital, Northern California with San Francisco as the capital, and Southern California with San Diego serving as the capital. “This is about people who want California to be fixed and saved and this is the way to do it,” the bids lead proponent told Fox News. “We have crumbling infrastructure, dirty water and failing schools. In almost every statistic, 49 states are doing better.” Read the full report at Fox News
You got it, just more liberal congree critters. No advantage to anyone but leftists.
Go back and read my last post.
They want to split it and set it up and elect people before November ? LOL, ya right
I’d be all for it if LA and San Francisco were in the same state and the rest was split in half
The Constitution WILL allow it...with the additional step of the consent of Congress.
ONE Nancy Pelosi is enough, and one Maxine Waters. Imagine having 3 of each one.
Re: #10
Thank you.
Then split up a few Red States and counter their expansion ,LOL
Texas is actually allowed to split into 5 states under the 1845 Treaty between the Republic of Texas and the USA as a condition of Texas joining the Union.
Give MOST of it back to Mexico! IT’s USELESS except for the Breadbasket and the Fruit Basket part of it.
“...many voters agreeing that the Golden State is simply too diverse and large to properly govern.”
But...but...doesn’t Hollywood and the MSM tell us many times each day that diversity is a strength? How can this be? California should be unbelievably strong if what they say is true.
Much ado about nothing ... Shakespeare
When I was growing up on the east side of Washington there was occasionally talks about combining eastern Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana. The talk would last for a few weeks and then die down. Nothing ever came of it because no one did anything to start the process.
Four more like Kamals Harris, Nancy Pelosis, Maxi Waters or Diane Fenstein!!
No thanks.
Break it in two. East and West.
Bingo!
And we throw the broken pieces into the ocean, right? Count me in.
So what about the US Federal Government? How can we contact these people who think this way? How can we get them to contemplate the Federal Government size?
Sacramento will never agree. End of story. Four States might work. Add California Central Valley. So then two conservative states and two liberal. The Libs would have to give up a Mexican border though.
