Well, it looks as though some Californians have had enough
of the Liberal agenda forced on them. It seems as though two men have launched
a campaign to divide rural California from the coastal cities. This is
motivated by what they referred to as a tyrannical form of government that
doesn’t follow the U.S. Constitution or the state one, the San Francisco
Chronicle reported.
Unlike the failed 2016 campaign to split California into six
states, the New California movement, founded by Robert Paul Preston and Tom
Reed, seeks to consolidate rural California into a distinct economy separate
from the coast.
"After years of over taxation, regulation, and mono-party
politics the State of California and many of its 58 Counties have become
ungovernable," the movement declared on its website. Preston and Reed stated
the citizens of the state live under a tyrannical form of government that does
not follow constitutional requirements.
"There's something wrong when you have a rural county
such as this one, and you go down to Orange County which is mostly urban, and
it has the same set of problems. It happens because of how the state is being
governed and taxed," Preston told CBS Sacramento.
The founders have evoked Article IV Section 3 of the U.S.
Constitution as justification for establishing a new economy with a new state
constitution. It states a consensus must be reached by the state legislatures
of California as well as Congress. The process, according to New California
representatives, could take 10 to 18 months.
The New California movement unveiled a Declaration of Independence,
earlier this week which called for a free and Independent State with the full
power to establish and maintain law and order
and to promote general prosperity.
Will there be a New California? Will the good people of
rural California finally break the choking bonds forced upon them by the
Coastal Leftists? This will be interesting to watch.
