READ: PROCESS TO ACHIEVE CALEXIT – (SCRIPT+ REFERENCES)

PART 1 – CALIFORNIA LAW ON SECESSION:

  • Any California resident can file an initiative with the California government to propose a new law.
  • An initiative that would have put a question on the ballot for voters to consider “if California should be independent from America” – has been submitted and accepted three times by the California government. Using this process.
  • Three separate California Attorneys General have approved separate initiatives calling for a vote on a Calexit.
  • On the ballot you can ask California voters if they want California to secede.
  • Californians would need to vote over half in support of the question, for the measure to pass.
  • This act alone doesn’t make California independent.  

PART 2 – FEDERAL LAW ON SECESSION

PART A

PART B

  • SCOTUS has only looked at secession one time, in “Texas V White”, and said it is legal with “consent of the states”.
  • Most of the time, the media focuses on the part that says you can’t unilaterally secede, which is true.  But this other fact is also true.
  • Texas V White was decided by Salmon Chase, who was directly appointed by Abraham Lincoln.
  • Additionally, Lincoln himself said in his first inaugural address that this form of secession was legal.
  • First Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln on Monday, March 4 1861, by Yale Law School
  • Again: If the United States be not a government proper, but an association of States in the nature of contract merely, can it, as a contract, be peaceably unmade by less than all the parties who made it? One party to a contract may violate it–break it, so to speak–but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
  • It follows from these views that no State upon its own mere motion can lawfully get out of the Union;
  • I shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in all the States. Doing this I deem to be only a simple duty on my part, and I shall perform it so far as practicable unless my rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite means or in some authoritative manner direct the contrary.
  • The Chief Magistrate derives all his authority from the people, and they have referred none upon him to fix terms for the separation of the States. The people themselves can do this if also they choose, but the Executive as such has nothing to do with it.

PART C

PART 3 – BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER

PART A

  • The initiative suggests that California appoint its own representative with the express function to appeal to Congress for a vote to leave.
  • Because of Hiram Johnson in 1911 – over 100 years ago, Californians directly have radical power in the initiative process. The economist magazine called it the most powerful in all the world. 
  • We can ignore every politician in Sacramento not supporting this vote and it can still pass and become law, and by law the California government will be compelled to fulfill the elements of the new law. 
  • Origin of the species: From Athens via Switzerland to the Wild West, The Economist, Apr 23rd 2011
  • “California is also unique, in America and the world, in treating every successful initiative as irreversible (unless the initiative itself says otherwise).”
  • https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/10/who-created-california-initiative-process/
  • “Hiram W. Johnson championed the initiative process in California.”

PART B

  • OF course, many politicians will obviously support the idea of California independence, if the initiative is passed by a majority in California – and their support will be welcomed by all lovers of independence. 
  • Republicans in Congress will vote for the measure to some degree. 
  • Hopefully Republicans approve the request – California accepts the offer (by virtue of the public initiative that passed a vote) and legally, a path is cleared for California to begin formal negotiations for independence.
  • The timeline could look like this:
  • https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ballot-measures/pdf/statewide-initiative-guide.pdf
  • STEP 1 – Filing the initiative with the Attorney General
  • 2 MONTHS till approved to collect signatures for initiative
  • 5 MONTHS / 180 days to collect signatures from public to qualify initiative for the ballot
  • 3 MONTHS / 131 days later, if enough signatures collected, the initiative can be placed on the ballot or next election after.

PART C

  • If Californians vote for the initiative once it is on the ballot – it could be enacted immediately, and representatives sent to Congress to petition for independence.
  • The only study on peaceful initiatives says that they usually take 2 – 4 years maximum of negotiation to finalized the details.
  • This is because politicians have to be re-elected, the study argued. Years later, this is exactly how Brexit played out.
  • http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1057&context=economicsperg_ppe 
  • Page 2 __ “negotiations … are fast”
  • Page 13 __ “Negotiations about secession are not protracted. When a unit breaks  up  peacefully, the two sides disengage quickly”
  • https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/15/boris-johnson-brexit-legacy/
  • “With “get Brexit done” as his slogan, Johnson led his party to a landslide election victory. He succeeded where his predecessor, Theresa May, had failed in getting a deal passed in Parliament and finalized with the Europeans.”
  • This is incredibly fast as far as creating new nations goes.
  • While it doesn’t stop any bad ideas from the federal government being enacted in California immediately – it would signal to the federal government that perhaps it should not be as rough as it could be about enforcing rules considering the state is about to have a credible vote for secession. Additionally, holding a vote will rally the California public and their elected officials to resist greater any policies from the Federal government deemed horrible. California resisted greatly the administration of Donald Trump at both the people level, up to shutting down entire freeways, and government level and it would do that again on steroids.

PART 4 – CAN’T LOSE

PART A

PART B

PART C

PART D

PART E

  • Republicans vote in a higher percentage to let CA leave.
  • The cycle repeats as the USA continues to politically divide to levels, according to some professors, not seen since before the Civil War.
  • https://www.hks.harvard.edu/wiener-conference-calls/robert-putnam#transcript-1635546
  • In fact, we’re probably more polarized than we have been at any period in American history with the exception, but it’s not a big exception. In measured terms it’s only a little more polarized of 1860 to 1865. America is—except in our Civil War—we’ve never been as divided politically as we are today.

PART F

  • For comparison. The right for women to vote was first proposed in Congress in 1878, and not passed until 1920. But each attempt brought women’s rights advocates closer to success by raising awareness.

PART G

PART H

  • This is exactly what happened with Women’s right to vote legislation at the Federal level.
  • Also, a key reason that the Marijuana initiative passed was because an “angel donor” gave millions of dollars to help hire signature gatherers so that initiative would qualify for a vote. 
  • The initiative to ban Gay Marriage also received a angel donor who spent over a million dollars in California to stop the initiative.
  • Both initiatives received angel donors because they had been promoting this idea for years, and these two billionaires heard about it.
  • https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-parker-legalize-marijuana-california-2016-11
  • “Those in favor of the decision owe a big thanks to billionaire Silicon Valley fixture Sean Parker. The former Facebook president and founder of Napster contributed $8.5 million to the effort to legalize recreational marijuana in California.”
  • https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/wealthy-gay-men-backed-anti-prop-8-effort-3261864.php
  • “Bohnett, who gave $1.2 million to the effort to block Prop. 8”
  • Having angel donors support your initiative so that it qualifies for the ballot –  is completely legal and happens with almost every initiative that passes in California.  

PART 5 – IN SUMMARY:

  • File the initiative – that is publicly available.
  • If it doesn’t get enough signatures – file, it again and use it as a chance to educate more people.
  • When you get enough signatures – it goes for a vote.
  • If you get enough votes if goes to Congress.
  • If you don’t get enough votes in Congress – file, it again and use it as a chance to educate more people.
  • If you get to Congress and Republicans vote for it – start negotiations for independence.
  • If you get to Congress and Republicans don’t vote for it enough – file it again and count on American continuing to decline and California to continue to upset traditional Republicans in most American states.
