Californian’s Are Pushing For Calexit - Good Riddance


Proponents of a constitutional amendment looking for California’s secession from the United States have begun collecting voter signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot. 

Obviously this is a result of having a state full of people who just cannot accept Donald J. Trump as president and apparently have until July 25, to collect 585,407 valid voter signatures to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. 

Backers of a proposed constitutional amendment seeking California’s secession from the U.S. can begin collecting voter signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot, the secretary of state’s office said Thursday.
The so-called Calexit movement emerged within days of the upset presidential victory of Republican Donald Trump, who lost California by nearly 4.3 million votes. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that nearly one in three Californians support the state leaving the U.S.
Proponents have until July 25 to collect 585,407 valid voter signatures to qualify for the November 2018 ballot.
The proposed measure would strike language from the California Constitution defining the state as “an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.”
If it passed, there would be a statewide special election in March 2019 to ask voters if they want California to become an independent country...

While it can be argued that this would be a catastrophic as Claifornia is almost 15 percent of the US economy, one can argue that with several tariffs, apple and google - and most of silicone valley for that matter - will move to NY or some other blue state rather quickly...
