Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the historical reality is that we (the USA) took Texas and California by means of illegal conquest, pushed and funded by those with aims to expand slavery (of blacks and whites). America, use infiltration and subversion to topple foreign government from within? Shocking! The reason why we got so good at it during much of the 20th Century, is because we had a lot of practice...
So what? History doesn't matter anymore? Sonoma Proclamation was cited as if it held some kind of authoritative status. It doesn't. Never did. As to "New California", good luck. There is a process dictated by the Constitution. Unless there is plan to abolish the Constitution, there won't be a "New California." However, Californians could and should retake control over their state.

So what? Old history. Has no bearing on the discussion about moving to New California.
