Having said that, I will agree with you that No. and So. California are as different as night and day. I Lived in So. Calif. and worked for Kaiser Steel, which was based in No. Calif., We didn’t even have the same holidays. They didn’t like us, and we didn’t like them.
I’ve had the opportunity to discuss my proposal with key members of the California Republican Party, American Independent Party, and Libertarian Party. Except for those members residing in one of the seven small northern California counties, or Los Angeles county that would form the lesser state, all agreed the proposal held promise as it divided the state along political lines that correspond with geographical lines.
The new state would have a national impact also by adding two new, and most likely, very conservative US Senators.
Citizens from Oregon and Washington have contacted me and will be watching how this plays out as they are under the same oppressive sort of legislative tyranny.
They are always talking about it; even split 3 ways, southern, central and northern.
Northern California has always thought of themselves ha more civilized, better educated and just plain more worthy than Southern California.
I often was in SF when the Lakers and the Celtics would be in the play offs. Lakers fans were the enemies to them.
