Trump's America: California wants to secede from the United States

I guess a bit of Chaos is coming to the US following Donald Trump's election to the highest seat in the country. The state of California wants to secede from the United States in a move that has been called 'Calexit', which if they succeed, would establish California as a separate country from the USA. This is the first time since 1861 that a state (South Carolina) would attempt to exit the US.

One of the people pushing for the recession explained why California wants out of the US;
"California is the most diverse place in the world. And we  want to have more minorities, more immigrants, more international connections"




Additional report from Fox News
A proposal for California to secede from the United States was submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office Thursday.
The proposed “Calexit” initiative - its name borrowed from the UK's "Brexit" departure from the EU - would ask voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable part of the U.S.
A recent poll found that one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. due to their opposition to President Trump. No mention has been made of the president in the proposal.
If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it could be a step to a future vote on whether the state would break away from the rest of the nation.
Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the group behind the proposal, Yes California Independence Campaign, was cleared to begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000 voter signatures needed to place the plan on the ballot.
"In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children," the Yes campaign's website says.
Similar attempts to establish California as a nation, or break it into multiple states, have failed.
The proposed constitutional amendment, titled California Nationhood, would also ask voters to repeal language that states the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law. If approved, it calls for scheduling a vote in 2019 to ask voters, "Should California become a free, sovereign and independent country?"
"America already hates California, and America votes on emotions," Marcus Evans, vice president of Yes California told the Los Angeles Times. "I think we'd have the votes today if we held it."
The campaign must submit the valid voter signatures by July 25 to qualify for the ballot.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

  8. Linda you are not only becoming unprofessional but lier because even the official report states that "California has failed in similar attempt" besides that those who know the history Americans will also attest to the fact that the quest for independence by Californians has being long with many Americans hating California.
    I guess what makes you not to be aware is because their media does not easily engage themselves in journalism bruhaha like you people here in Nigeria.
    Learn how to do investigative journalism instead of Anti -trump campaign because it will neither do trump harm nor profit thee.

  15. California has been trying to secede from the USA for years...long before Donald Trump even thought of running for any political office.
    Did you know before now that California is the world's 6th largest economy? That simply means that California (even though it's just a state in the USA) has a bigger economy that most countries of the world!

  17. Linda your bias reporting is sometimes heartbreaking atimes...California has tried and tried so many times to become its own country for years. The same thing with the province of Quebec in Canada. Nothing to do with Trump. Ignorance is bliss...SMH

  22. With the advent of trump, i believe it is time for America to break up. The big states should go their separate ways. Texas, New York and Californian. Trump has lit a Fire in this country that the only way to quell it is for the Break up of the USA.
