Plan To Split California Into Six States Gets OK To Gather Signatures
Can you imagine what something like this could do to the make-up of the United States Senate?? If this happens, there wil be 12 Senators for the same area where there are now only two. However, over the long term, such action might be a great thing for the people of the state, giving them more control over very specific needs and differences, in the six different states..

SACRAMENTO (CBS SF) – Supporters of a plan to divide California into six sates can begin collecting signatures to get the proposal on the ballot.
Secretary of State Debra Bowen announced that the proposed ballot initiative – known as Six Californias – could move forward Tuesday.
Valid voter signatures are needed from 800,000 to put the measure on the ballot statewide.
Even if voters approve the plan, it would face an uphill battle in congress.
