LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF REAL CALIFORNIANS

Multiple major news publications and many regular Californians have taken a stance ... since Roe V Wade.

"California has two choices in these dark times: lead or secede"

San Francisco Chronicle

July 3 2022

"California needs to prepare to secede from the nation"

JOE MATHEWS

July 1 2022

"Will abortion decision revive Calexit?"

TOM ELIAS

June 29 2022

"I enjoyed Joe Mathews’ column on potential California secession, but he thinks too small."

Margaret Morris,

July 11 2022

"I can not agree more with Joe Mathews ("California needs to prepare to secede from the nation".) The United States no longer works for Californians."

Seth Neuman

July 5 2022

"Thus the Civil War began. The overruling of Roe V Wade is eerily parallel. I do not want to see the bloody war ... I would rather the matter be decided with a nationwide referendum."

Maile Melkonian

July 4 2022

“Living somewhere where my autonomy is being threatened daily doesn’t really make me feel like I want to celebrate. There’s a lot about this country that I don’t feel like is worth celebrating.”

Jourdan Sales

July 3 2022

"With its decisions overturning Roe Vs Wade and misinterpreting the 2nd Amendment and surely more legal outrages to come, I believe the justices are setting the stage for a second civil war in the United States."

Norman Brown

"HOW CALIFORNIA CAN BECOME A "NATION STATE" FOR ABORTION RIGHTS"

Bernadette Meyler

June 25 2022

"California really is capable of being an independent nation"

Mayor Willie Brown

Feb 25 2018

"It raises, not for the first time, the question of whether California could — or even should — go it alone, evolving from a nation-state into an independent nation, or more accurately returning to its brief, pre-statehood Bear Flag Republic days."

Dan Walters

May 7 2020

"I would like to secede and start a new country."

Jimmy Dore

May 5 2020

"Newsom if you haven't noticed keeps calling us a nation state. Let's make it official."

Steve Lopez

April 4 2022

"In other words, we’re on our own, which for many Californians may provide another compelling argument for this state to break away and go on its own."

Marga K Cooley

June 10 2020

"California seceding feels less and less batsh#t absurd."

Clara Jeffery

Sept 18 2020

"Because we do dream of a nation-state called California."

Jason Sean Richard Wright - CEO of Yes California explains the basics of "Self-determination"

BECOME AN EXPERT ON YOUR RIGHTS

CALEXIT FACT:

When we speak with people from states from the mid-west, south, Texas, or the north-east ... we ask people if they would be upset if California left, because "it would mean a star would fall from the flag" ... and they always laugh and say "NO".

Frequently asked questions

We get it .... you never thought you would be here.
The USA seems to be falling apart.
Division seems to be as bad as it was right before the Civil War
These are scary times ... with an uncertain future.

BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE - there are many of us ... looking for a better way out for California... and we have been talking about this for a long time.

HOW MUCH SUPPORT DOES CALEXIT HAVE?

In January to February 2017 the first survey of support for Calexit was taken. Reuter/Ipsos and Stanford University both conducted surveys.

REUTERS/IPSOS - showed 32% supported "immediate secession" with an additional 15.5% saying they “don’t know” and were willing to discuss secession = 47.5% willing to talk about Calexit and not immediately opposed.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY (little Hoover Institute) - showed 27% supported "immediate secession" with an additional 19% saying they were "not sure" = 46% willing to talk about Calexit and not immediately opposed.

Both of these studies undercounted Latinos under 30 years of age, and elderly white people over 60 years of age. When the demographics for these two surveys are corrected to reflect the accurate percentage of elderly white, and young Latino voters, the percentage of people willing to discuss Calexit jumps to 55%. (Remember: Brexit passed with only a 52% vote).

IS IT LEGAL TO SECEDE?

Yes it is legal to peacefully secede.
The constitution says nothing about secession. However, it does say that all legal decisions are determined by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court only looked at the topic of secession one time;

"“In 1869, following the Civil War, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White that the initial act admitting a state to the Union “was final.” “There was no place for reconsideration, or revocation,” the court said, “except through revolution, or through consent of the states.””

Three separate California Attorneys General have supported this conclusion: Kathleen Kenealy on January 10 2017, Xavier Becerra on July 10 2017, and Kamala Harris on August 28 2015. (see section on past initiatives).

Although the word "consent" was never defined by the court, and some legal scholars have said that a secession could only be achieved by a constitutional amendment, other legal scholars disagree.

In 2017 Dean of the University of California, Berkeley and Irvine School(s) of Law "Erwin Chemerinsky" said;

“In theory, because it was a majority vote of Congress to admit California, in theory a majority vote of Congress could approve secession.”

Chemerinsky is the top constitutional scholar in California and disagrees with other lawyers who say that secession must equal an amendment. If he is right, then California only needs to get 25 states to "vote us off the island" - in order to fully legally and peacefully secede.

WHAT IS THE PLAN TO MAKE CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT?

The Yes California Calexit campaign plan to make California independent is based on well established international legal precedent. FIRST - you must have a vote among your population that shows you want to secede. Brexit qualified with a 52% vote in support. SECOND - a high ranking government official has to approach Congress and ask for permission to secede. This normally would be the Governor, but doesn't have to be. It could be a special representative appointed by the voters or by the legislature. THIRD - the representatives of at least 25 states must approve in order for California to achieve "consent" according to constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky.

We believe this will be a relative easy task for two reasons. One is that around 35 states are very rural, conservative, white, lacking diversity, old and prefer to watch fox news - and they will stay this way until the year 2040 (about 2 decades from now), according to demographic science. The populations of these states hate California - as they think that California is behind every crazy left wing idea they have ever heard of. The hate has been so visible that at times both the LA Times and SF Chronicle were exasperated. In 2020, the Republican National Party framed their entire national convention around the idea that "California is a bad example for America." We only need 2/3rd of these California haters to "vote us off the island".

YES CA DEDICATED TO MAKING FRIENDS with OTHER MOVEMENTS.
We currently talk ... and sometimes work with other movements (although we don't necessarily share values with) ...the New Hampshire Independence Movement, The Texas Nationalist Movement, The Baja Independence Movement, The Cape Independence Party, The Abbeville Institute, The Hawaii Sovereignty Movement with Poka Lenui, The Gardenia Sovereignty Project, Bougainville Independence, Catalonia Independence, and Liberty Block.

WHAT DID PAST INITIATIVES LOOK LIKE?

In order to prove that it was legal to have Californians vote on whether to secede from America or not, Yes California filed multiple initiatives under three different California Attorneys General.

California Attorney General Kathleen Kenealy January 10 2017

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra July 10 2017

California Attorney General Kamala Harris August 28,2015

WHAT WOULD LINCOLN HAVE SAID ABOUT CALEXIT?

Abraham Lincoln - July 4 1861 speech to Congress:

"Having never been States, either in substance, or in name, outside of the Union, whence this magical omnipotence of “State rights,’’... Much is said about the “sovereignty’’ of the States; ....Tested by this, no one of our States, except Texas, ever was a sovereignty. And even Texas gave up the character on coming into the Union; by which act, she acknowledged the Constitution of the United States..., to be, for her."

Lincoln said immediately after the Civil War began, that Texas was the only state to have a claim to sovereignty from DC- because it was a "independent sovereign" entity before it freely choose to join America.
Lincoln said that Texas gave up the right to sovereignty when it voted to join the USA.
California was also independent from Mexico and America from 1836-1846 (or as long as Texas), yet Californians never had a fair vote to join the Union.

Abraham Lincoln - Dec 22 1847 Spot Resolution:
"5th. Whether the people of that settlement, or a majority of them, or any of them, have ever submitted themselves to the government or laws of Texas or of the United States, by consent or by compulsion, either by accepting office, or voting at elections, or paying tax, or serving on juries, or having process served upon them, or in any other way."

Lincoln immediately criticized the decision by America to invade Mexico, causing the "Mexican American War."
He said that it was wrong to invade a land and subjugate a people to your will unless they showed "consent" by "voting at elections" or "compulsion" - where he meant the people have meaningful and deep participation in the power structure of that society and therefore aren't disenfranchised.
Lincoln condoned the invasion of the South during the Civil War for two legal reasons. First, he argued the the South had a fair election to choose the President and fairly lost the election. They also in a fair election choose to join the USA. Additionally, Southerners fully participated in the Federal government at the time, meaning they were enfranchised into the power structure.
Lincoln was able to oppose the invasion of Mexico and support the invasion of the South because he said the South had a fair election and free choice, whereas he felt (rightfully) that Mexicans were not going to vote to join America in free elections that may come about from the invasion. Secondly, (as opposed to Southerners at the time), he wondered aloud if Mexican people would be truly considered equals and involved in power structure, once they were conquered by America.
When California was inevitably conquered by America ("the Bear Flag revolution") as a result of America's conquest during the Mexican American war, Lincoln would have opposed the "fruits of war" going to America in this manner. Secondly, he would not have approved of the fact that the people of the land almost completely were not allowed to participate in the vote to join America or the drafting of the new constitution.

CALEXIT FACT:

In 1813, Thomas Jefferson wrote of an American settlement on the west coast, that he viewed it as a seed of “a great, free, and independent empire on that side of our continent” he said, further writing that he looked forward, “to the time when its descendants shall have spread themselves through the whole length of that coast, covering it with free and independent Americans, unconnected with us but by the ties of blood and interest, and employing like us the RIGHTS OF SELF-GOVERNMENT."

Jefferson said that California should never be connected to America in a joint government.
