I want to move to Texas, Luv those Cowboys....

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action since B. Hussein Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.

Here is what can happen:

#1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States , Texas immediately secedes from the Union .

#2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas .

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We will control the space industry.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States .

3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.

5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry will have to figure out a way to keep them warm....

6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications--small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.

7. Medical Care - We have the largest research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. Houston has some of the best hospitals in the United States & the world .

8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: University of Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston , Baylor, UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.

9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open the border when we need some more.

10. We have essential control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.

Signed, The People of Texas

P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about!

SLEEP WELL TONIGHT THE EYES OF T EXAS ARE UPON YOU!!

One Nation Under God

 

Gotta love Texas!!

 

No, it's a dumb e-mail forward.

 

I promise you that it is real.

 

Texas GAVE UP THE ability to secede when they became a state. Not an option. Nice try.

 

Howdy, Now there's somebody that knows his sh@#.....ok partner

 

Really? Texas already seceded once along with several other states.

 

succession isn't a right in the constitution to the state of texas

but if we wanted to leave why the **** would we care about the US consitution

 

Texas
































FTMFW

It would be funny as hell.

 

LOL.

 

Where is this Texas ya'll speak of?

 

Your an idiot

 

just sucks that your only line of defense is the national guard and that they couldnt protect you from a high school bully. but good luck anyway

Q: Doesn’t the Texas Constitution reserve the right of Texas to secede?
A: No such provision is found in the current Texas Constitution[1](adopted in 1876) or the terms of annexation.[2] However, it
does state (in Article 1, Section 1) that “Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United
States...”
Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of
Texas (or any other “free and independent State”) from the united States. Joining the “ Union” was ever and always
voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed
academic, media, or government “experts”—including Abraham Lincoln himself—may have ever said).
Both the original (1836) and the current (1876) Texas Constitutions also state that “All political power is inherent in the
people ... they have at all times the inalienable right to alter their government in such manner as they might think proper.”
Likewise, each of the united States is “united” with the others explicitly on the principle that “governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed ...and... whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends [i.e.,
protecting life, liberty, and property], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government
...and... when a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” [3]
Q: Didn’t the Civil War prove that secession is not an option for any State?
A: No. It only proved that, when allowed to act outside his lawfully limited authority, a U.S. president is capable of unleashing
horrendous violence against the lives, liberty, and property of those whom he pretends to serve. The Confederate States
(including Texas) withdrew from the Union lawfully, civilly, and peacefully, after enduring several decades of excessive and
inequitable federal tariffs (taxes) on Southern commerce.[4] Refusing to recognize the Confederate secession, Lincoln called
it a “rebellion” and a “threat” to “the government” and acted outside the lawfully defined scope of either the office of
president or the U.S. government in general, to coerce the South back into subjugation to Northern control.[5]
The South’s rejoining the Union at the point of a bayonet in the late 1860s didn’t prove secession is “not an option” or
unlawful. It only affirmed that violent coercion can be used—even by governments (if unrestrained)—to rob men of their very
lives, liberty, and property.[6]
It bears repeating that the united States are “united” explicitly on the principle that “governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed ...and... whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends [i.e.,
protecting life, liberty, and property], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government
...and... when a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” [7]
Q: Is Texas really ripe for a secession movement?
A: Probably not. Texans generally aren’t the rugged, independent, liberty-conscious folks they once were. Like most
Americans, they happily acquiesce to the U.S. government’s steady theft of their rights and property via unlawful statutes,
programs, and activities.
Unfamiliar with historical or legal details, being largely products of public (i.e., government) “education,” today’s Texans
easily adopt the “politically correct” myths that litter the landscape of American popular opinion. Many don’t even know what
the word secede means, and believe that the United States is a “democracy” (it’s not)[8].
But public opinion and ignorance won’t stop us from suggesting that secession is still a good idea for people who value their
rights and personal liberty more highly than the temporal affluence, comfort, and false security provided by the U.S.
welfare/warfare state. That’s why we’re offering SECEDE bumper stickers in the first place. By raising public awareness of
even the concept of secession, we hope they might plant seeds that will some day yield a new resolve among Texans for
liberty and self-government.
Q: How would Texas—and Texans—benefit from secession?
A: In many ways. Over the past century-and-a-half the United States government has awarded itself ever more power (but not
the lawful authority) to meddle with the lives, liberty, and property of the People of Texas (as well as those of the other
States).
Sapping Texans’ wealth into a myriad of bureaucratic, socialist schemes both in the U.S. and abroad, the bipartisan
government monopoly[9] in Washington persists in expanding the federal debt and budget deficits every year. Texans would
indeed gain much by reclaiming control of their State, their property, their liberty, and their very lives, by refusing to
participate further in the fraud perpetrated by the Washington politicians and bureaucrats.
By returning Texas to the independent republic she once was, Texans would truly reclaim a treasure for themselves and their
progeny.
Q: Are there any organized efforts to promote a Texas secession?
A: Yes. An organization self-described as the Republic of Texas Interim Government asserts, among other things, that the
annexation of Texas as a U.S. State was illegal and/or improperly executed, and that the current Texas State government is
therefore illegitimate. Their website can be found at http://www.republic-of-texas.net.
Another organization of interest is Texas Constitution 2000, which calls on Texans to ratify a new consitution liberating
Texas from the economic and statutory slavery of the U.S. government. Their website is http://www.tcrf.com.
The Independent Nation of Texas website features a FAQ page listing reasons why secession would be good for Texas, as
well as links to multiple online resources pertaining to Texas secession, at http://www.anus.com/etc/texas/.
Q: Why exactly are y’all selling this stuff?
A: A social and political trend towards nationalism has become the status quo in much of the US (and much of Texas), and we
question the wisdom of this trend.
The US founders and the first few generations cared little for nationalism. They didn’t think of the United States as a nation,
but a federation of sovereign States. And it was only in this spirit that Texans would have ever favored trading Texas’ status
as an independent republic for ‘statehood’ among the other States.
Nationalism, in one form or another, is at the root of bureaucratic, expensive, inefficient, and power-hungry big government.
It is the chief cause of government growth and unnecessary, meddlesome ventures both at home and abroad. Nationalism,
in one form or another, spawned almost every war since at least the mid-nineteenth century.
Texas has a rich history of independent character. She is the only US State that was once a sovereign, independent
republic, having won her independence from a heavy-handed despotic government (Mexico) that refused to honor its own
constitution (sound familiar?).
We’d like to see Texans showing more public pride in Texas by displaying symbols of Texas’ history and spirit of liberty —
particularly various renditions of the Texas flag. And that’s why we’re selling this stuff. Our aim is to be a source of
affordable quality Texas flags and Texas flag decals as a means of encouraging the public displa

 

We got a lot of congressmen and legislators in here.

 

lol!
texas
nowhere else for me.

 

Epic fail!

 

Sorry, but this statement also doesn't consider history. The CSA fired the first shots on US held Ft Sumpter, SC instigating the civil war with an act of violence.

Contrary to this biased rhetoric, the US government was well w/in it's right to impose tariffs. It isn't like the southern states didn't have a voice in congress. It could be compared to today in that it is very similar to how the east and west coast just gave liberals a nice majority in congress and the Executive branch while the nation's center section is more conservative. Let them try to get our guns!!!!

 

Did you really mean your or did you actually mean you're? I mean if you're going to call someone an idiot please read through your post. You're making a good case that your comments are worthless.
