A THREE WAY SPLIT

by Bob Walsh

Assuming the signature count is good (and it looks right now like it will be) the voters of the formerly great state of California will soon be able to make the first step towards splitting the state into three.

The proposal, if approved and if the Congress approves, would create the states of California, Southern California, and Northern California. California would hug the coast from just north of Anaheim to close to the S. F. Bay. It would have about 12.3 million people with a per capita income of about $53,000. Southern California would be everything from slightly north of Fresno going south. This would have about 13.9 million people with a per capita income of about $45,000. Northern California would include everything else, with a population of about 13.3 million and a per capital income of $63,000.

I admit I would be happier if SF and it's environs were included in California. That would skew the population split and per capita income, with are now actually pretty even. It would, however, put all of the liberal asswipes into one basket, which could then secede from the union and we could tell them to go fuck themselves.

This proposal is the brain child of Tim Draper, who has a buttload of money and is really bored. That does not mean it won't make it onto the ballot (I think it probably will) and does not mean that it won't pass (which I am less sure about).

California is indeed a state of mind.

WILL THERE BE THREE KOOKFORNIAS?
Proposal To Break California Into 3 States Could Make November Ballot

LOS ANGELES -- Voters could get a chance to decide whether California should be split into three states this November.

Venture capitalist Tim Draper, who authored an initiative to break up the Golden State, says it has received enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Draper says the initiative, which he calls the “CAL 3” has more than 600,000 signatures and will be submitted to election officials next week.

The initiative needed signatures from 365,880 registered voters – 5 percent of the total votes cast for governor in the 2014 election – to qualify for the ballot.

“This is an unprecedented show of support on behalf of every corner of California to create three state governments that emphasize representation, responsiveness, reliability and regional identity,” Draper said.

Splitting California into three states would require congressional approval.

The initiative proposes a central state that would consist of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey and San Benito counties; a southern state made up of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial, Kern, Kings, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera and Mono counties; and the 40 remaining counties grouped into a northern states.

The new states would be named by its residents, according to the initiative.

Draper said he conceived the initiative out of a belief that “the citizens of the whole state would be better served by three smaller state governments while preserving the historical boundaries of the various counties, cities and towns.”

Steven Maviglio, a longtime Democratic Party political consultant who was a co-chair of the effort to oppose Draper’s 2014 initiative to split California into six states, says “Splitting California into three and creating three new governments does nothing to solve our state’s challenges other than tripling them.”

“CAL 3” has no connection to efforts to have California secede from the United States.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I am a strong supporter of Kookfornia seceding from the United States. I feel sorry for the good and sane people there, but adios to all the uber-liberal kooks.

On the other hand, were Kookfornia to become three states, that would give those uber-liberal kooks six U.S. senators instead of only two, and we sure as fucking hell do not want that shit.
