The budding California secession movement now known as Calexit by some has rumbled around for several years, but just gained more momentum to move forward.
Made of up of leftists who want to turn the Golden State into a socialist utopia, the Yes California group hopes to get enough support to have a ballot initiative to go before the voters in 2018.
The movement began back in 2015 as some voters argued that California isn’t getting its fair share of federal revenue to pay for needed infrastructure and social programs while its taxpayers are sending more than their fair share to other states that don’t embrace the offbeat cultural values of California.
Who knew Californians would embrace the states rights argument that fueled the Confederacy?
Naturally, observers on the other side of the argument may see an upside to California’s departure, given the fact that it harbors illegal immigrants who’ve become a financial burden on the educational and health systems, not to mention a conduit for the flow of criminal gangs and drugs into the United States.

I think a record number of American people regardless where they are from.
Do it!!! Then there wont be another liberal President and you’ll have a strong Conservative neighbor that wont defend you.
This is how it works in California, though reverse for blue.
If that was the case they would vote differently
How about praying for CA. There are many who are disgusted (an understatement) with the politics in this state. Hard to pick up and go…especially when you have elderly family to take care of!
Revolt… don’t look for help, revolt!
Actually California does give a lot to the country. We even pay more in federal tax than what we get back in federal funding, unlike most other states.
Jus gonna leave this here…
Hey, we don’t need California. (Well, except for the Hot Rod magazine people.. we kinda need them to make Roadkill.)
and what poll would that be… I guess no one reads the constitution anymore…
