I contacted y representative from California Democrat Dianne Fienstien To express my concern for the direction this state and our nation is heading. As a white male American I find it difficult to say "Yes I can relate to you on these racial or gender or sexual orientation political issues" or "yes I am fearful for my rights as a ______ are in question" because I can't. But this is not the country that I was raised in or how I was raised to be. The inclusiveness has left and since been replaced with fear and hate.  So I purposed these questions.
       1. What is the process for California, Oregon, Washington to succeed from the union, and is it possible?
        2. What are the ways that, if we as Californians can come together and agree, can veto a presidential mandate or decree?
        3. What are other ways we can defy a government which is not serving our best interests? We are one of the largest global economies, we have an impact, what can we do to impede or otherwise disable these faculties of the government, which are based in hate and fear, that don't serve us as Californians or Americans?
