TIM DRAPER'S DREAM: The Division of California into Three States started as a 'concept' by one innovnative leader, and now the People will decide. Time to thank Tim!

The map of the Three California's. Where do you fit it. Where do you stand?

Tim Draper, the Father of Three California's.

I wanted to post the facts about this new voter initiative that is coming to the November Ballot here in the Golden State that calls for splitting California up into three states.

Lots of static about this "concept" that has been spearheaded by Tim Draper.

Sure, lots of people scoffed at the idea when it was first pitched a couple of years ago.

Scoff no more.

This "idea" is now going to be decided by the people. Voters. A Real Campaign. A Real Conversation has begun.

I sort of like the idea. As a matter of fact, now that I live full time in Rancho Mirage, CA, I could be a fut resident of the State of Southern California. Not bad. IF this comes to fruition, I just might declare my immediate intentions to be a candidate for the top dude in this new "thing." I could be a modern day George Washington, or a new version of Jerry Brown, or even better, a "President," of "Governor" or what ever the people decide.

Skeptics need to stop making fun of Tim Draper and the "Three California Plan." It is here. The wake up call has been dialed.

What the hell.

Tim Draper got this on the ballot...and for that accomplishment....we all need to grasp the "power of the people" instead of listening to the expert politicians and talking heads who think they are the smartest guys or gals in the room.

Here is what is going to be on the ballot....

Division of California into Three States. Initiative Statute. Summary Date: 10/24/17 Final Random Sample: 06/13/18 (PDF) Signatures Required: 365,880 Proponents: Timothy Draper (650) 233-9000 tim@draper.com Divides California into three states subject to approval by Congress. Assigns each county to a new state. Upon passage, directs Governor to request that Congress grant approval within twelve months. If Congress approves, directs Legislature to divide California’s assets and liabilities between the new states. Provides that, if Legislature fails to act within twelve months of Congressional approval, debts shall be distributed among new states based on population relative to California population as a whole, and assets within boundaries of each new state shall become the assets of that new state. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Assuming this measure is approved by voters and the federal government and allowed by the courts, all tax collections and spending by the existing State of California would end. California’s existing state assets and liabilities would be divided among three new states. These states would make their own decisions about state and local taxes and spending. (17-0018.)

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
