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.

Can Washington start de-funding them?
I wonder if these fools realize 80% of the State of California is federal land so if they leave they won’t be leaving with much
For the love of all that’s holy-true-and good in the known universe please let this happen. Then seal the borders and don’t let them into the United States. I’d be happy to replace all my flags.
Do it!! You will NOT receive any federal funding and you will go broke!! THERE you go you$#%&!@*Jerry Brown.
What conciquences exactly are you talking about?
They also need the 55 electoral votes in presidential elections
Do it!
Please.
That’s the best thing that could happen to that state!!
Its not a matter of if they let them. Every state is it’s own sovereign entity. They can pull out of the agreement any time they want.
It’s what atheist, socialist, snowflakes do.
