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.

When a surgeon removes part of your cancerous body are you “surrendering” part of your body? No, you are curing yourself of a deadly disease.

I have never lived in that lunatic asylum pretending to be a state. So your post makes no sense.

We used to get updates posted from a woman, Cathy Buckle concerning the plight of white farmers in Zimbabwe.
Wonder what ever happened to her and hers.
Checked Google, found this..

I’m probably 10 times the conservative that you are shmuck.

Here you are using a California based, conservative website, trashing a California conservative that’s sticking up for California conservatives.

Again I ask, what the hell is wrong with you?

You haven’t added a single word to this discussion of any value at all and you’ve now been added to my shitlist.

You attacked me for no reason at all.... Are you just a democrat troll?

The word conservative has lost is original meaning, it was hijacked in the late 20th century by the globalist-corporatist cabal to mean no tariffs, offshoring, open borders and "Free Trade" uber alles.

The point I am making is that CA seceding has nothing to do with the fact their are "good" people in CA. It is a solid bastion of leftest political BS. A guaranteed 55 EV's for the Dems. The state needs to go.

Listening to whiners in CA complain about moving out of CA is not doing anyone any good especially when most of us have moved many times in our lives. CALEXIT is a great idea.

You don’t know what you’re talking about, dude.

Have you ever even been to California? You shouldn’t try to shame us conservatives for what the hippie left is trying to do to us here.

My opinion of you right now is pretty low because what you’ve posted makes you sound like an absolute dick.

#CALEXIT or #CALGONE. AMF.

Politics is war without bullets. It's a rough sport and getting rougher.

Calexit will NEVER happen, it’s a pipe dream of idiot, communist liberals who, as usual, never think anything through to their inevitable ends. Liberal greed always, always comes first.

Without conservatives to stand in their way they would have already destroyed themselves with their horrible ideas.

I tend to agree with you...whenever separation clauses have been invoked with most cities...it hasn’t exactly been thought out very well.

In this case, if California did reach some legal stage of doing this (I seriously doubt)...I do believe that the northern third of the state (Jefferson) would likely separate from the country of California, and reapply to enter the US.

The key problem I see is that there are a dozen-odd regions of the US which would like to follow an exit (southern Florida for example). All of this exit-business would give people the impression that exit would fix their problems, but in truth....just double the issues they already face.

Gee, to you states rights and independence are Communist idiotic concepts. I wonder what Ukrainians would think of your “insightful” statement?

Hypocrisy? Suppose California did pull it off and became their own country and then there was a huge earthquake or tsunami caused by an offshore earthquake. I could imagine Gov. Moonbeam on TV pleading for the foreign country of the US to cough up billions of dollars to rebuild their country.
