Due to directionless leadership and a series of poor decisions, Gavin Newsom will soon face a recall election. In the wake of numerous crises affecting the State, California politics has reached a new low. The Republican Party, with its best chance at the Governor’s Mansion since the last recall, has been unable to agree on […]

Last Thursday a contentious 5-2 vote by the San Francisco Board of Education saw Alison Collins removed from her position as board vice president. However, in a move worthy of former Iowa Rep. Steve King, she refuses to resign her position even after justified public censure of her offensive views. She has, halfheartedly, apologized not […]

Like much of the world, the California National Party (CNP) has waited these last few days to learn which path the United States has chosen to take. While we are grateful that American voters have rejected four more years of Trumpism, we ask our fellow Californians to recognize that nothing has fundamentally changed for us. […]

Insurance Commissioner Lara’s many indiscretions have been ably laid out in a Sacramento Bee Op-Ed questioning if he will even make it through his first term. He has taken money from insurance companies and their lobbyists when he promised he would not. He charges taxpayers for a second residence in Sacramento while many Californians struggle […]

On July 25th, a letter to the editor of the Las Vegas Sun made mention of California independence. Party chair Michael Loebs wrote and submitted the following response, which The Sun elected not to publish. We have therefore decided to post our response here. *** Bruce Kesselman’s letter of July 25th is correct: the solution […]

On Monday, Pacific Gas and Electric announced its intent to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, proving what many Californians have known for years—PG&E is not too big to fail; it’s failing already. November’s Camp Fire is only the most recent in a series of destructive events, such as 2017’s fires in the North Bay […]

California National Party Statement on Prop. 6 That the California gas tax is regressive, often hitting the most economically vulnerable communities hardest, is clear. As a flat tax spread over diverse socio-economic regions, more sparsely populated areas with generally lower income levels pay a greater share of their income for a more necessary activity. Such […]

I was one of the dozens of CNP members who contributed to the recent 2018 platform revision. It was nearly a year’s work to shape the then-existing 2016 platform into what exists now, but such revisions are necessary, since a platform is the means by which a party defines itself. This is no small task […]

This year it’s en vogue to assume that the success of California rests on its destruction. Tim Draper’s foolish Cal3 initiative claimed that California has become too unwieldy to be successfully governed. While surely large in terms of population and economy, one wonders how Draper believes nations greater in both, like Germany and Japan, manage […]
