Plan To Split California Into Six States Gets OK To Gather Signatures « CBS San Francisco

SACRAMENTO (CBS SF) – Supporters of a plan to divide California into six sates can begin collecting signatures to get the proposal on the ballot.

Secretary of State Debra Bowen announced that the proposed ballot initiative – known as Six Californias – could move forward Tuesday.

Under the plan, from venture capitalist Tim Draper, most of the Bay Area would be considered “Silicon Valley.” Napa, Sonoma and Marin Counties would become part of “North California.”

Valid voter signatures are needed from 800,000 to put the measure on the ballot statewide.

Even if voters approve the plan, it would face an uphill battle in congress.

The last thing this Republic needs is 10 more Senators from Kaliphornica.

roflmao.

I guess the Southern most new state will be called TACOVILLE.............

Not gonna happen.

Six states would have twelve senators; ten more than currently.

You really think any of the current senators are going to dilute their power or share their elevators and parking spaces? Where would the money come from to build ten more palatial offices? Special tax on the five new districts? Then a nice civil war in the former California over which of the six districts is still the "original".

Don't worry just because you heard that lunatic on Levin's show earlier doesn't mean it's going to happen

I say grant them independence and 1/8th of the national debt.

 

[Gracie]

SIX states? Too many. Cut it in half. Northern Calif, Southern Calif.
But it will never happen. At least, not in my lifetime.

Why not? We get rid of Cali but I don't think Mexico would take CA.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

You can get people to sign petitions for nearly anything, but I doubt this'll get anywhere near a ballot.

It takes a lot of money to get 800,000 signatures.

Not until they run out all of the white yuppy libtards first, which I cant blame them.

Look at the damage libtards have caused US; who would want that?
