Geographically speaking, the district spans a distance from New Orleans to Chicago......to put it in perspective. In so much, unless one lives in the center of the State, everything is 6-8 hour drives.

The FORMATION, which was presented to Haney and Mullings about 4-5 months ago, and given their blessing, came out of the blue to some up North. It has since been said that a well known pastor in the Northern part of the State would like to form a Northern California district. Based on the vote that just occured minutes ago...I think this will be the next piece of news in a year's time.

Ah. Well that makes sense. I couldn't imagine driving 6-8 hours for a district event.

No such monkey (no offense to Monkeyman). If he is conservative, I would like to see the stares he gets as he water ski's in conservative attire.

As a person who lives at the southern end of California.....this is absolutely the truth. I was talking to another member of this forum yesterday (not Thad) who lives up North who stated that the distance is GREAT...even to get to Tulare.

I do not think it has been voted on yet. They were voting on election of officers first and then issues.

Just got a text from Thad....

They have NOT voted on the formation of the Southern California District yet.
