"New California" Declares Independence -- From California, Not From United States
Craig Bannister reports at CNSNews.com:
Citing the U.S. Constitution, a group introduced its Declaration of Independence -- from California, but not from the United States.
The "New California" movement wants to turn northern and rural California into the nation's 51 state, separating from southern, coastal urban California in the same way that West Virginia was formed, CBS Sacramento reported Monday.
"Unlike other separation movements in the past," CBS Sacramento reports, "the state of New California wants to do things by the book, citing Article 4, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution and working with the state legislature to get it done, similar to the way West Virginia was formed."
