That's fine for all you folks who don't happen to live in CA or the west coast, but what about us (few) conservatives who do live here? You gonna lock us in with the crazies? I stay here because my kids & grandkids are here. My house is paid for, and I can't afford to sell and move, because it's only worth about 2/3 what we paid for it, thanks to the real estate crash of '05-08. A lot of people in NorCal want to split from CA into a new state, Jefferson, but I don't see how it could work since all the revenue is in the major metropolitan areas, SF, LA, and SD. The only way it might work is if we succeeded in forming a new state, declaring war on the rest of the US, immediately surrendering, and then applying for foreign aid. That might get us some money.
