November 12, 20169 yr Interest in pushing for California's secession from the United States has increased after Donald Trump won the presidency. The "Yes California" campaign is backing an independence referendum in support of a constitutional exit of the state from the US. In the wake of 60% of the state's voters supporting the presidential loser, Hillary Clinton, the movement is getting renewed interest. "As the sixth largest economy in the world, California is more economically powerful than France and has a population larger than Poland. Point-by-point, California compares and competes with countries, not just the 49 other states," the campaign's website said. Interest in #Calexit growing after Donald Trump victory Two words. Please do. :woot:
November 12, 20169 yr I felt the same way about Texas. Ain't happening, for the same reasons as Texas that were discussed a year ago. They are probably a little more able, but not very able. I do like their thinking better than Texas, though. $$$$$ and jobs I called neighborhhod meeting to become an independent nation, I figured all the Republicans controlling the state and country was going to be tragic. Found out I would still be in a minority and said the heck with it.

Found out I would still be in a minority and said the heck with it. I agree with you also. As I posted in my original post, there is a group called Yes California pushing for a referendum on California to become it's own country. They cite that California would be the sixth largest economy in the world if it were its own country. Yescalifornia

November 12, 20169 yr Maybe we could continue the wall up the eastern border of California to make sure the Illegal Californians can't enter our country. We will make the country of California build the wall. I love this idea.
November 12, 20169 yr Please, please, please do this! Actually we'd be crazy to want them to leave. Too many resources invested and natural there. Actually, California is a Giver in taxes rather than a Taker. For every dollar they pay to the Feds, they receive about 95 cents in return.

The Hollywood elite would have kept their word without ever having to board a plane or cross a boarder. Win win... :jump:
November 12, 20169 yr I seem to recall some sort of conflict that was fought over the legality of this type of issue....

November 12, 20169 yr So those liberal Californians whom have signed the petition and want to leave the Union are now no different than those southern plantation owners whose actions they consider to be traitorous. Looks like maybe we are coming full circle.
November 12, 20169 yr I have an idea. All the people strongly in favor of these states leaving the United States, move to Montana and then push for secession of Montana from the United States. That I would be in favor of. Or we could make it really easy and just have Kentucky secede. That could be a boon to Kentucky. Tell everyone done with the United States to move in and we're out of here.
