Texas is a Republic not a state. and they are the only country that was annexed into the union. Texas is one of a few "states" that if they left the union could actually support itself.
Texas is also the only "state" that could leave the union and the federal government would have a hard time forcing back into the union. But also if Texas left the union on their own they would be caught between 2 countries trying to reclaim Texas. the U.S. and Mexico.

I've never been to Texas. But there was a time when we'd occasionally see a bumper sticker on a car up here in Canada that said "Don't mess with Texas"...

None the less... now more than ever I think those words really mean "don't mess with Texans or our state". God bless you all. I have no doubt TX will be a great leader in what is almost certainly about to unfold.
Stay safe and stay smart.

Good find.
I emailed several friends in Texas to let them know to support it.
One has a wife that is a federal Judge.
Most of them race cars, and have a good fan base.
I am sure Alex Jones will be all over this.

well look at history for your answer. the Civil war was fought because Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the U.S. and formed the Confederate States of America. the Civil war was fought over secession not slavery.
Fast forward to today. if we had states declaring secession from the U.S. you better believe the federal government would send in federal troops to stop it. they will do anything to keep their power. they will do anything to keep the states in line and ultimately the people.
Now i have a question for you. Lincoln is credited with freeing the slaves right. my question is did he actually free the slaves or enslave us all?

And what are the Feds saying about all this?
I'm sure it won't be on Fox or CNN.
Any leaks from insiders?
