There is one right which can be used, but unless your willing to use it I see no other way to change it. The right to respond with force to the use of force against you.

You can petition and lobby the state legislature to make changes which is the use verbal force to attempt to solve without physical force, but I think on most issues we are federally and in the state of California beyond the chance of that being successful.

This leaves you and I with two options. Wait until natural consequences for actions lead to situations where people are forced by those consequences to listen and make changes, or increase the level of force you and others are willing to use to fix things.

I do not think there is sufficient outrage exist to make the required force occur, not yet. It will likely come. I leave with you two quotes from two Frenchmen from closely linked time periods.

"I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all."
- Alexis de Tocqueville

"When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensable of duties."
- Marquis De Lafayette

If you do not know who these two men are, do some research on them and where these quotes come from. Perhaps the answers and the research itself will provide greater clarity to your own answer to the question you pose.

Common Core is Federal.

California's motor is already spiraling out of control. Like any engine that is imbalanced.

The California media is tightly controlled. We only hear positive comments about anything government-related. They hide the truth and those who don't care to wade through the bureaucracy sit in their own dream worlds, thinking everything is just great.

I believe you are correct. As far as education is concerned, our "common core" system in California is not working well. It has been forced on the children, by our State's government. Those who were previously in AP classes, couldn't pass their tests and were unable to get scholarships.

I doubt it can be stopped. The people are more interested in what they can be given or what they can take. The politicians, hungry for power and wealth, know this, feed the moochers and are rewards with a loyal voting base.

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money,
that will herald the end of the republic.”
- Benjamin Franklin

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But,
under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program,
until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
- Norman Thomas (US Socialist Presidential Candidate)

California started passing laws to have government-applied medical treatment to children a couple years ago. Only the latest one had some opposition, and will probably go to referendum. Of course, I expect the voters to approve it. My point, though, is that California isn't that unique. The $15 wage took in Seattle . Maine courts just ruled that a child can be removed from parents for forced medical treatment.

I'm surprised how the media ignores this stuff.

If the big earthquake hits, it may become beach property. No Lex needed

Great idea, we have been looking at property along the AZ,CA border just recently. I would really be great for that to become beach property, although I haven't seen Lex Luther anywhere lately?

Check your Premise. As an Objectivist do you have any right to cause others to change (other than through education)?

I do sympathize with you, but my feeling is you are caught up in a rush of Lemmings on their way toward "history in the making". They will stop running when everything crashes.

They crush everything here. We have less rights than people in jail. Maybe there's a way to restart the movement. California is getting less appealing everyday.

There were several secession movements going on. I haven't heard any updates. Wonder if they were crushed.

The people are voting for more free stuff, free education for illegals, free medical, and we're tired of paying for everyone's neediness/mooching. Think the fault will activate on its own soon enough. Would love to succeed from Northern California. This State is too big for it's britches.

Sounds good to me. We were thinking of leaving, as so many have already done.

California will stop it's own motor. The flood of illegals and wasteful spending will sink the State eventually. I just hope their is no Federal bailout. Activating the San Andreas fault may work also.

You can leave The People's Republic of California.
