Threat of Federal Takeover in California: A Wake-Up Call for Voters Amid Election Anxiety

Federal Takeover Call in California

As November's midterm elections draw near, a chilling warning has been issued by CalExitNow, highlighting critical developments that all Californians should pay attention to. With the looming threats to constitutional rights and growing public distrust, immediate actions are urged.

The Context

A recent report indicates that California is facing a crisis from within. The new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia, has openly suggested that the federal government should assume control of California, expressing skepticism about the state government's ability to function effectively. In a social media post from June 2025, Zacharia expressed her stance directly, stating, "The federal government under @realDonaldTrump should take over all of California because clearly you can't be trusted to do a single thing." This bold statement raises alarms regarding the future of governance and citizens' rights in the state.

Public Sentiment

The revelations come alongside unsettling polling data reflecting a significant lack of confidence among Californians. According to a recent survey by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times, an overwhelming 59% of voters supporting Democratic gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra are prioritizing the fight against the Trump administration's policies. Additionally, 80% of California Democrats expressed serious concerns over potential federal interference in the midterm elections.

J.J. Ames, Jr., CalExitNow's Political Director, emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, "These are not mere constitutional disputes. Californians have every reason to demand answers from their government." This worry is compounded by the notion that the upcoming elections might not just require a strategic approach but could be seen as a crucial constitutional safeguard.

Legislative Action

In light of these alarming circumstances, CalExitNow is proposing a Joint Resolution aimed at establishing a Blue Ribbon Commission to explore California's sovereignty and national separation. This commission would delve into the state’s constitutional rights, economic sustainability, civil liberties, and the requirements for potential negotiated separation, ensuring public transparency and legitimacy. The proposed timeline for this commission is within 60 days of the resolution's adoption.

Ames pointed out, "California can initiate this investigation without resorting to any extreme measures or abandoning democratic processes. Legislators need to understand and assess the risks involved now instead of facing uncomfortable explanations later for inaction."

A Call to Californians

As the midterm elections approach, the call for vigilance and proactive engagement has never been more pressing. The potential implications of federal control are not merely speculative; they represent a direct challenge to the established rights and governance of the people. By addressing these issues transparently and critically, Californians can ensure their voices are heard, standing firm against any encroachments on their democracy.

As discussions around this resolution continue, it remains available for public scrutiny on CalExitNow's official website.
