California secession campaign can start gathering signatures

[Madmallard]

A group that wants California to secede from the United States can start collecting signatures for its ballot initiative.

The state attorney general issued an official ballot measure title and summary Tuesday. The campaign can now start gathering the more than 585,000 signatures it will need to qualify for the 2018 ballot.

The initiative would form a commission to recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state.

As much as I had the idea of balkanization, that's what needs to happen in this country. Instead of the whole state, California needs to split into essentially the "red" conservative areas (Jefferson some want to call it) and the blue "liberal" areas (remains California). A similar thing needs to happen in NY. The blue liberal areas around NYC need to stay New York and the red conservative upstate areas need to become "New Amsterdam" or something to that effect.

I just hope it breaks off one way or another.

I hope they get every signature they need. Then I wanna deport every democrat in the country to there. Those animals love living stacked on top of one another anyway.

I'm figuring this way, we can go to war with them, retake the state and make it great again.

Buck up little trooper. If successful it may just fuel the movement here for two NY's. Or it could just start the break up of the entire country. Who knows?
