Thanks JAP I hope they are able to succeed. Seems ICE is going to be busy in some of the sanctuary cities in California very soon.

Bust up the grip of so many Democrats in Congress from California. Those major population centers containing so many Democrat voters is an injustice to the rural Californians.

There's something wrong when you have a rural county such as this one, and you go down to Orange County which is mostly urban, and it has the same set of problems, and it happens because of how the state is being governed and taxed, Preston said.

The group is serious about this effort - printing pamphlets (here and here and here) citing authority granted in the U.S. Constitution to provide a republican form of government as guaranteed by Article IV, Section 4, which co-founder Robert Paul Preston says has not been the case in California for a long time.
