California secession: New California Republic


I first heard of this on a foreign board. I consider it at present a joke. But what if in the near future the majority of voters decide this is the way to go. This is not impossible especially since Chavez and the World Social Forum are connected with the immigration demonstrations we are seeing. At this point it becomes less a joke and becomes conceivable. Somehow any such movement will have to be stopped and perhaps it can be stopped. Check out the magnitude of this movement it blurs the line between what is impossible and conceivable.

Move On California becomes
New California Republic

The support and well-wishes from all of our readers and contributors has been amazing. In order to keep the momentum of the move toward California independence alive we have agreed to change the name of our website and organization. Move On California will now be known as New California Republic.



An independent California:
How scary can that be?

This isn’t about starting a civil war. We are talking about peaceful secession and the creation of an independent California. Time will judge if a majority of Californians agree that independence is the best way. If and when that happens it is our desire that cooler heads prevail and a diplomatic, peaceful, political resolution comes about.

California secession debate is
not simply a red and blue issue

Some common ground is beginning to emerge that frames the discussion of an independent California in a different light. While the New California Republic was founded in reaction to the disappointment of George Bush’s re-election, there are some very good reasons why a majority of Californians should at least consider moving down the path toward independence.


Red reasons

Blue reasons


Secession makes sense to your wallet

The citizens of California will soon see that all of the talk about secession isn’t so farfetched when it hits them in the pocketbook. California secession is not just about gay marriage and abortion rights. It’s about preserving our state’s economy. It’s about protecting Californians from red state politicians who want to siphon off our taxes to pay for pork barrel spending projects in their own states.

Immigration and independence

Californians need to step up and take a bigger role in solving this problem. Whether it is independently as a republic or working together with our neighboring regions, the states most greatly impacted by the affects of immigration are best suited to understand and solve the problems. Californians didn’t wait for the federal government to fund stem cell research, let’s not wait for Washington to bring about meaningful immigration reform.

Just the blue of us
Who's to say what the North American continent will look like
in 30, 50 or 100 years? Demographic, cultural, economic and political changes could dramatically change the landscape of the continent.




Putting independence on the ballot

Numerous people responding to the New California Republic have suggested we move forward with a ballot initiative for California secession. Some kind of ballot initiative is something that we would like to move toward with a degree of caution.

Questions and answers about secession

Secession may not be the only answer or even the best answer, but citizens on the West Coast are finding themselves increasingly disenfranchised from the conservative cultural domination of the large middle and southern sections of the country, dubbed by some pundits as "Jesusland."

>More satire: Red Babies, Blue Babies: liberals need to fuck more
>And now for something completely different...There is one scenario that is worth entertaining which might make secession a moot point—the implosion of the Republican Party.
