AGENDA 21 RADIO

BY PAUL PRESTON

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

Haile Selassie
Emperor of Ethiopia

On September 9, 2017 in Williams, California I took the Oath of Office.  I have never taken the Oath of Office in my life. I have to admit I was nervous but not afraid.  I am proud to be an American I am Proud to be a New Californian.

There were 12 of us Americans who stood up and took the Oath of Office as New Californians,  We were the first New Californians to “mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor“, to become the first New Californians and begin the journey to make a more perfect union of the United States of America.

New California first came to life as a ‘committee’ on July 23, 2017 at a statehood assembly attended by over 800 people in Sutter County.  The committee which named themselves The Council on County Representatives (CCR), joined forces with numerous county leaders from Northern California to give direction through governance for a new state.  The realization that no state had ever been granted statehood by congress unless they were able to demonstrate they could govern themselves was the major reason for committee to proceed.

For months the committee worked to design a governance system which would give legal standing.  To accomplish this the committee adopted a charter that would guide them to legal standing. To do this there needed to be some standard by which the charter could be based.  The standard adopted was when Republican Assemblyman Stan Statham of Redding in 1991  pushed for voters in 31 counties to vote in 1992 on an advisory plebiscite that asked whether the Golden State should be chopped into two parts.

Echoing gripes that first rumbled through California in the mid-1800s, the separatists say the state has grown unmanageably large and is saddled with a government that is unresponsive to the people. The solution, they argue, is to scale down.

“Think of (California) as a marriage gone bad,” recommends Republican Assemblyman Stan Statham of Redding, the separatists’ indefatigable leader. “Let’s act like adults, split up the community property and go about living out the rest of our lives.” L.A. Times June 1992

While no firm boundaries appeared on the 1992 ballot, Statham wanted the to lop off California’s 27 northernmost counties to create a new, Iowa-sized state of about 2.1 million people. The territory would include Lake Tahoe, the Napa Valley and Mendocino; Santa Rosa, its most populous city, might be the capital.

Assemblyman Stan Statham’s (R) proposed advisory vote on splitting California into two states won approval from voters in 27 of the 31 counties where it was on the ballot. To reach the standard for ‘charter’ status the CCR required 2/3 of the total number of those counties that voted to leave California from the 1992 vote.

The results of the 1992 vote became the standard by which the CCR Charter was officially authorized. In order to reach charter status under the initial charter there had to be 9 counties to agree to the charter and to establish a county committee. On August 31, 2017 2 additional counties were voted into the CCR and the legal threshold had been met. On September 9, 2017 in Williams, California 12 members of the CCR took the oath of office to:

“Support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the State of California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter…”

New California is the only movement in the United States to follow the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to create a new state.  The leadership of New California is the only movement where the ‘leadership” has been sworn into office to prove their level of integrity to the public and the world that a New California is coming soon.
