It will be no easy task, however, because supporters will need to collect 365,880 signatures in order to see the question put to a statewide vote.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of simply seceding from the US, however, the new plans for Calexit involve creating a special Native American \u201cautonomous nation\u201d within the new independent state, creating a \u201cbuffer zone between Donald Trump\u2019s America and the new independent California Republic,\u201d according to Yes California co-founder Marcus Ruiz Evans.<\/p>\n<p>Another movement co-founder, Louis J. Marinelli, explained the decision as a way to\u00a0\u201cright the some of the wrongs of the past\u201d\u00a0by giving back land to Native American people.<\/p>\n<p>According to a map published by the Yes California \u2018Calexit\u2019 campaign, the long-term plan would see the state sliced down the middle from Oregon in the north to the Mexico border in the south. The new version of California would take up the western, coastal half of the state, which is already home to two-thirds of California\u2019s population. The inland, less-populated regions would make up the Native American \u2018autonomous\u2019 zone.<\/p>\n<p>The boundary between the new California and the autonomous zone was decided based on the fact that most of the federal land is located in the eastern regions of California \u2013 but there are also be some recognized Native American tribes living in the western part of the state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/434849-california-secession-native-american\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/434849-california-secession-native-american\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL\u2019S COMMENT: Wonderful!
