Marcus Ruiz Evans (center) of The Yes California Independence Campaign, talks to passersby about California succeeding from the United States and becoming its own nation in Sacramento on Nov. 9, 2016. A group calling for California to secede from the United States submitted a proposed petition Monday, Nov. 21, 2016, seeking a ballot measure that would strip the state constitution of language that says California is an inseparable part of the nation. The Yes California Independence Campaign hopes to put a question on the November 2018 ballot authorizing a vote on independence in spring 2019. (Associated Press) **FILE**
