It’s clearly stated in the introduction to the California National Party platform: “The CNP is committed to working – through peaceful and democratic means – toward a legally binding referendum on independence.” The italics are mine, for emphasis. Five words that are more than an overarching description of our fundamental philosophy. I see them as […]

It’s easy to look at  the results of this past election with a real and grim sense of foreboding.  America has voted in the worst sort of incompetent to ever occupy the Oval Office. Any thinking person with moderate intelligence can realize there is no scenario where this could possibly end well. But, for Californians […]

In 1940, the great Californian writer, John Steinbeck, made what may be the best argument for California’s independence: Some time ago a congress of honest men refused an appropriation of several hundreds of millions of dollars to feed our people. They said, and meant it, that the economic structure of the country would collapse under […]

In order to qualify as a party the CNP needs 50k people to change their voter registration to CNP.  It’s easy, free, and take just a couple minutes – if you haven’t already switched you can do so online in 5 minutes or less.  Once we get there our candidates qualify for campaign financing and […]
