Calexit? 3rd Ballot Initiative for California Secession Submitted
“Steps to secession need to be in the Constitution,” initiative author Clare Hedin told City News Service. “No one today would even enter an airplane without an exit strategy being in place, let alone a lifelong agreement defining power structures.”
Other proposed amendments in what supporters dubbed as “The California Call for a Constitutional Convention,” include guaranteeing health care for all, providing “free, high quality universal education,” abolishing the Electoral College or having proportional representation in the Electoral College.
“We’re excited to raise the level of dialogue around radical changes in power structures,” Hedin said. “We believe the U.S. political system has had its day and has proved its limitations. It’s time for something new, something more intelligent and with a broader vision of the global community in which we now live and have a responsibility to contribute to positively.”
