Maybe Cali aspires to restart the Soviet Socialist Republic and they can have Putin as their Premier.

Applauding the breakup of the Soviet Union has now come back to haunt us!

The hypocrisy! It was celebratory to cheer on the breakup of the Soviet Union, and now Putin, who rules over a dying country with a too low fertility rate and not enough manpower for their military, wants to give California a hand!

I'm all for it, Russian war ships off the CA coast in case the Feds decide to stop CA from seceding!

Not only "cheering," but facilitating the process, as devastating as it was for millions of Soviet citizens, with dire consequences for economy and terrible hardship that followed because of it.

Default Leader of California Secession Moves to Russia

This just sounds like something that needed to happen.

The Leader Of "Calexit" Is Giving Up On The Secession Movement To Live In Russia

The leader of California secession campaign has decided that he would like to live in Russia permanently, and is therefore abandoning his efforts to make the Golden State its own country.

In a lengthy statement Monday, Louis Marinelli, president of the separatist group Yes California, announced he was withdrawing his petition for a referendum on secession. Instead, he plans to apply to be a live permanently in Russia, where he currently resides.


Click on the link below to see the statement. He talks about living in a place that reflects his progressive values - and he is moving to Russia.

This is interesting . So his wife was here illegally . Now he's crying about how mean everyone is in the U.S how he's had it so tough .

Farewell Snowflake!

"Throughout this campaign, I have been primarily motivated by a personal struggle I have had with the United States government since 2012. That personal struggle revolved around the immigration status of my wife, a foreign national who I brought to the United States to live believing at the time that it was the best country in the world. For years, our marriage suffered as politicians in Washington argued and bickered about immigration reform while the American people expressed their anti-immigrant xenophobia."

"I have found in Russia a new happiness, a life without the albatross of frustration and resentment towards ones’ homeland, and a future detached from the partisan divisions and animosity that has thus far engulfed my entire adult life"

Louis Marinelli's Farewell Statement - Yes California
