New California movement seeks to divide the Golden State


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.
