That is nearly twice as much support as is required by state law to get an initiative on the ballot and the first time in modern state history that a partition has reached the preponderance of support required to be approved as a ballot measure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an unprecedented show of support on behalf of every corner of California to create three state governments that emphasize representation, responsiveness, reliability and regional identity,&#8221; CAL 3 chairman <span class=\"xn-person\">Tim Draper<\/span> said.<\/p>\n<p>CAL 3 is committed to solving <span class=\"xn-location\">California&#8217;s<\/span> most pressing issues, including the state&#8217;s failing school systems that impact more than 6 million kids, highest-in-the-nation taxes, deteriorating infrastructure and strained government. Partitioning <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> into three states would empower regional communities to make better, fairer and more sensible decisions for their citizens.<\/p>\n<p>After CAL 3 delivers the support of more than 600,000 citizens to the Secretary of State and the signatures are properly vetted and approved, the initiative will be slotted for inclusion on the ballot in November, giving everyone in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> a chance to be heard. After the measure is approved by voters, the Governor will transfer notice of state approval to Congress, which will vote to ratify the creation of the new three-state structure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The unanimous support for CAL 3 from all 58 of <span class=\"xn-location\">California&#8217;s<\/span> counties to reach this unprecedented milestone in the legislative process is the signal that across <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, we are united behind CAL 3 to create a brighter future for everyone,&#8221; Draper said.<\/p>\n<p>To discuss this historic milestone in the effort to partition <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> into three states, Draper will be holding a press conference on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Thursday, April 12<\/span> at <span class=\"xn-chron\">4:30 PM PT<\/span> in the 2nd floor offices of his investment firm, Draper Associates, 55 E. 3rd Avenue in <span class=\"xn-location\">San Mateo<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.threestateca.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">threestateca.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  CAL 3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">SAN MATEO, California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 11, 2018<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0For the first time in more than 150 years, Californians are poised for the unprecedented and historic opportunity to vote on a ballot measure to sensibly partition <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> into three states.<\/p>\n<p>Next week, CAL 3 will deliver to the California Legislature more than 600,000 signatures from Californians representing all 58 counties to ensure a November ballot measure to let Californians vote on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gobierno-y-politica"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60703\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
