These 578 voters want California to form an independent country (Calexit - WE CAN DO THIS!)

**SNIP**

That recruitment process will continue with the California National Party’s third annual convention, which takes place on Sunday at the Betty Ong Rec Center in San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who has been at the forefront of a campaign to qualify a California secession initiative, is the keynote speaker. Attendees will also revise the party’s progressive official platform, which in addition to the contention that the Golden State is overtaxed and underrepresented on the national stage, advocates single-payer universal healthcare, an overhaul of policing and criminal justice policies, high-speed rail and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

The California National Party is distinct from “CalExit,” another effort to leave the United States and form a new country that has struggled so far to put that issue before voters. Members say they are interested in forming a more sustained political movement that can disrupt the two-party system. Louis Marinelli mounted the first campaign as a California National Party candidate last year, finishing third in the 80th Assembly District primary with about 6 percent of the vote, though the group says it never endorsed him.

Zimbabwe—founded by people with median IQ 100 or even higher, seized by people with median IQ of 65.

Example of 'getting rid of the Whites'. A riches to rags story.
And the libs are promoting it.

and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.


If Calif. is an independent country, then you have a “path to citizenship” of California, not a path to citizenship of the USA.

Just thought it’s good to make that distinction.

The DNC really wants to give up all those Congressional seats, EC votes, pork, and gravy.

Good luck!

Don’t worry; the North State has every intention of remaining with the Union.

Is there anyone standing in their way? Can they take Oregon with them?

I don’t want see California go. I bet the DNC doesn’t, either. Having the rest of the country to leach from is too dear to those left-coast socialists.

Since they will be an independent nation, put up border crossing stations, and oh by the way, where is your passport, and oh, there is a border import tax for your goods.

Instead of a wall, can we dig a ditch so California will float out to sea?

With any luck, California will capsize, instead of Guam...

There were white farmers who sold their land in 1975 and escaped. There are some white farmers still there—cowering in the dark? Or are they ALL murdered by this time?

I wonder if any studies have been done comparing those who left 40 years ago and those who stayed to be raped and murdered.

I do not think it would take to much creative financing for CA to fund their portion of the debt. 10% of $20T is about $2T give or take a few 100 Billion.

CA is a political boat anchor. We need to cut it lose. Bye. Politics is war. I am sure there were “good” Germans in WWII that hated Nazis. Well they were mixed in with the bad so who cares?

I’m surprised by the number of Freepers who want to surrender a part of the United States of America. Where does it end? Which states do we surrender?

So Free Trade is ok with other countries, some of the Communist, but not with California? Hypocrisy they name is Free Republic.
