I love it! I wish you all the luck in the world.
What type of assistance do you need?
Californians to generate interest. There is a draft of the initial proposal in the linked Yahoo Group files ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/new_california/ ). It is available in both txt and doc formats, and can be printed out or downloaded for all interested. Interest can include contacting radio talk shows to get them talking about the proposal.
Persons making contact with, or providing contact information of California organizations that may have an interest in in such a split. The Howard Jarvis tax organization comes to mind as an example. This would likely be made easier if people can volunteer as coordinators within their county.
It would be very helpful if persons working within the state political parties could get their parties behind this. The proposal absolutely splits the state Republican along ideological lines with the conservative inland Republicans voicing support, and the liberal Los Angeles contingent voicing opposition.
Last but not least ... suggestions that anyone thinks might help push this along as quickly as possible.
There is a very good opportunity to have proposal finalized, and circulated for the necessary signature to place in on the November 4, 2008 General Election Ballot. The cutoff for that election is July 1, 2008 as near as I can determine from the Secretary of State web site.
If prepared in time for the 2008 General Election it could have a great bearing on the future of the state and the nation as a new state would gain two new seats in the US Senate.
