A constitutional convention can occur in California if a 2/3rds majority of the members of both houses of the California State Legislature vote to put the question to a statewide vote of the people, who must then approve the question by a simple majority. California has held two such conventions, in 1849 and 1878. The state’s voters approved a call for a constitutional convention in 1933, but the California State Legislature declined to act on that call.

Mexicans do not assimilate to our culture in large.
Liberals will go down with the ship rather than to fix the problem. But they do want their cushy lifestyle. Everyone has a breaking point unless they are sociopathic.
However don’t forget CA. did rid themselves of Davis.
I will not go down that “California road to Prosperity” called socialism nor will I allow government business the “Chicago Way”
The problem is called “Career Politicians”
Cut your spending to the bone.
JOIN THE TAX REVOLT
STOP YOUR SPENDING
Don’t give to Washington
Don’t give it to Wall Street.
Don’t put it in the Local Bank
Take your extra cash and bury it in the “back yard”.
And above all tell your “career politicians” why you have stopped spending.
Tell Washington to stop their out of control spending.
They won’t have jobs outside of jail.
Just goes to show how deeply they have drunk the Kool-Aid. It’s the same way in Oregon. People know that the powers in charge have put our state straight into a nosedive into the ground, but yet they still keep electing the full slate of Democrats after 30-some odd years.
No they won't. They flee to the neighboring states, where they start the cycle all over again and wonder why every place they go is falling apart. Trust me, I know from experience.
They also don’t understand why they are so hated when they move here (Texas). And they are hated, enough so that many move out to New Mexico. (Sorry, New Mexico...)
Why? They do it all of the time.
Maybe we can extend that border fence to the west boundaries of Arizona, Nevada, etc.
Is it too late to give the territory back to Mexico?
I’ve started to notice liberals are getting (very) quiet about things.
But they remain in control of the national conversation - because still, conservative / libertarian media to challenge their control of message - is not strong enough
Things are starting to change, but it’s time for some wealthy enterprising conservative to really shake up liberal’s media monopoly with the hostile take over of some network or even better a major movie studio. They’re weak and could be picked off.
Rush has all the money in the world. It would be wonderfully ironic if he were to take the money he had intended to invest in the NFL - and use it to take over CBS or some movie studio.
Then move filming and studio offices - to somewhere like Branson Missouri.
California liberals really need to be taken on. They’re arrogant because they have no competition.
“This is a Mexican public attitude and behavior of life in Mexico. They can not envision anything better and they keep voting for the same people who make sure it won’t get better. I tend to believe the assessment of the new Californian vision. It won’t get better; it will be poor, more corrupt and hopeless. The new immigrants live in America but they are still foreigners.”
Exactly. Folks who are not familiar with what California has become, and how it became that way, need to hear this, as this is a glimpse into the future of the rest of the country unless we stop this horror cold. Unfortunately, time is running out.
California is dying of uncurable stupidity.
“Mexicans do not assimilate to our culture in large.”
Bears repeating. They steadfastly embrace and cling to their third-world mindset.
“They also don’t understand why they are so hated when they move here (Texas).”
Well, then there is Austin, where libs are firmly entrenched.
Bears clarifying.
It’s not just that Mexicans do not assimilate.
Mexicans see AMERICANS as the interlopers in the US southwest. One can see it in the eyes of Mexican immigrants.
Mexicans are re-taking the American southwest, and American political correctness has blinded even a lot of conservatives to the process.
The entire Bush family seems blind to it.
It’s part of the reason we now have Obama.
And now - the destruction of the US Southwest has accelerated.
Who do you suppose is fleeing from the economic collapse which stretches from San Francisco through all of California - into Nevada and into Arizona?
Mexicans?
No. It is native-born Americans who are pulling up and moving out.
The process of “reconquista” is if anything, speeding up and being assisted by the economic collapse.
“California’s best years have passed, voters say (but love Obama;
would vote for Boxer again)”
California gets the government/economy it votes for.
They had a chance to adjust to the tech bust by voting for Matt Fong
instead of Barbara Boxer.
Of course, they love and vote for Total Air-Head Boxer.
And they wouldn’t be in so deep of a hole if they’d listened to
the early days of Gov. “Arnold”.
If Californians wonder how they got in this mess, they only need to
look in the mirror and remind themselves they voted for Democrats.
(and some limp Republicans in fewer cases)

Jorge clan apparently believes that Mexicans will swoon to their tune, if they trot out Spanish-speaking Dubya and Jeb's Mexican wife and half-Mexican kids. That family drank too much of GWHB Kool-aids.
