There is a party by the name of the California National Party which is gathering members as we speak and not to mention the many supporters across all major social media sites including: YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Also of the CNP is the first candidate for office of that forming party, Louis J. Marinelli of the 80th State Assembly District.
Yes California argues that the campaign is for restoring the California populace's faith in the government, far reaching social and economic programs, as well as the proposal to bring the UN to California is proposed in their book-California's Future: Your Guide to an Independent California. Yes California and the CNP hope to have a symbolic referendum (like the one in Catalonia in 2014) on the state ballot by 2020. From there if the vote is a majority "yes" then California can call a convention of the states among other options.
Some might notice how secession sort of a taboo subject in America in present times, but this is not 1861, rather it is 2016. You go about it the more civilized and non-violent way now. Yes California aims for California to continue its trade with the United States, use the dollar for a short time, and initially allow for American military institutions to remain within California territory.
Shocking Fact: California on average loses about 50 billion dollars a year to the federal government.
Yes California argues independence would mean more cash in the new state bank, free from Citizens United, free from militaristic DC, proportional representation for the states of California, and basic public services such as universal healthcare.
Some might be for the status quo and others for something maybe different. What sort of path should California take? Please be reasonable and state all of your opinion.
