DIVIDING CALIFORNIA Into 3 Separate States Moves One Step Closer To Becoming A Reality * 100PercentFedUp.com * by Patty McMurray

Is it possible that conservatives living in the communist, open-borders, sanctuary state of California actually have a chance of succeeding from their looney liberal neighbors?

According to the Telegraph, the chance of California splitting into three has moved a step closer after a billionaire secured enough signatures to trigger a referendum on the issue.

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.

Tim Draper, who made his money through Hotmail and Skype, has gathered 600,000 signatures supporting the change – way above the 364,000 needed.

Those who want to break up California believe it would boost educational standards and reduce the political power of Sacramento, the state’s capital.

Providing the state authorities agree the signatures are genuine a referendum on the issue will be held this November alongside other mid-term elections.

CBS Local Los Angeles reports: “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.

Under the New California movement, counties in red represent state involved in the statehood movement, while counties in yellow represent the “old California” and counties in blue would remain neutral.

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.”
