Jan 2017

Yes California has been behind the movement "Calexit" for the past year and a half.
Louis J. Marinelli's residence is in...

Yakenterinberg, Russia

He still goes over to Russia and teaches half years. He maintains an apartment in San Diego, which is where he lists his U.S. residence whenever he decides to run for political office or start petitions to get on the California ballot. People who live in that neighborhood - including one of my co-workers whom I just asked to say he's there maybe about five or six months during the winter - in fact, he's there right now.
