A new ballot initiative was submitted to state officials Thursday advocating for a federal constitutional convention that could lead to California's independence.

The measure, similar to one already in circulation that is pushing for California's secession from the union, would require the state Legislature to ask Congress to establish a new constitutional convention.

"We believe that justice for all requires constant vigilance and a thorough examination of laws and governmental actions that disproportionately impact diverse segments of society," the initiative states. "These beliefs depend on resolutely defending these Californian values, which support every individual's hopes and dreams for the future."

The initiative has been submitted to Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra for an official title and summary, a necessary step before supporters can collect signatures to put the measure on the 2018 ballot. Once that happens, backers would have to gather nearly 600,000 signatures in 180 days.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Prediction:

Calexit will become a national issue in debate in the presidential election of 2020.

I also predict that -- by then -- the national mood is going to shock a lot of folks...

Waaaaaait...

I've been told by libtards recently that not only are Confederate statues of people who were racist, they were TRAITORS.

So... Californians are traitors for wanting to secede?
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!
