The antiquated ways of our voting system no longer voices the wishes of the American people. The federal government chooses to divide the people (by party), instead of unite them for the greater good. The great State of California is more than capable of standing alone.
As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
