Yeah, Texans are telling me, "Come on down!"
The Country of Texas ~ being 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 if Barack Obama wins the election. We'll miss you too.

Here is what can happen:

1: Barack Hussein Obama is President of the United States, and Texas secedes from the Union in summer of 2013.

2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas . You might not think that he talks too pretty, but we hadn't had another terrorist attack, and the economy was fine until the effects of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came to roost.

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. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't know. Why not ask Obama?

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

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

7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone employees over 65,000 people.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter:
University of Texas , Texas A & M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU,
University of Dallas , University of Houston , Baylor, U.N.T. ( University of North Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.

9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force, and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas , it's a Right to Work State and, therefore, it's every man and women for themselves. We just go out and get the job done.

And if we don't like the way one company operates, we get a job somewhere else.

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

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and several military bases. 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 the 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.

13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States, and twenty- three of the 100 largest cities in the United States , are located in Texas. And Texas also has more land than California , New York , New Jersey , Connecticut, Delaware , Hawaii , Massachusetts , Maryland , Rhode Island and Vermont combined.

14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are located in Texas .

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You see, nothing rusts in Texas , so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well for decades.


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 5 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 TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!


"The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."
 
Dude now ya got me hoping the thug wins. I would LOVE to see Texas secede, followed by AZ, WY etc as they see fit...... we need a national wake up call.

A bunch of my friends and rellies just moved down there within the last year. They love it.

Of course giving autonomy back to the states is better IMO. I useta' live in NH the Live Free Or Die state..... just over the line was Mass, it's polar opposite. They've got a patriotic freedom-oriented motto too but it's in Latin so I guess nobody knows what it means. Different type folks lived on each side the line. People MOVED to where they were comfortable, voted with their feet. Right now the folks I know who're doing that are leaving the country not their state. Lead, follow or get out of the way but hey, at least CARE ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING! "Don't just lay there" is my motto..... :)

Butch,
Talk is cheap!!
If you Texan's could/would only patrol your border of illegals(your labor force) the rest of the Union would only have to be concerned with a couple other states worthless/desert ridden borders.

More by-products are refined from "Dark Crude" than your "Sweet Crude"!!
 
I am an old transplanted Texas boy, went back to Texas a few years ago and could not believe what had happened to the place. Was for sure "NOT" the Texas I remembered as a kid. Place was Snooty and Pretentious, I finally came to the conclusion that the Old Texas I had known had moved. So I went in search of it, finally found it to, turned out the Texas had moved to Alabama, I moved right in and hell guys Alabama's got Football teams that Texas used to dream about when Darrell Royal and Doak Walker were kings.

The Old and erroneous idea that Texas has the right if secession is just that an Old Myth. This idea is nothing new and has come up every so often through the years, some proponents and believers of the idea quote from "This" document and those non-believers quote from "That" document. Truth is Texas does not have the right to secede from the union. It does have however have one right that other states do not have and probably this right is what brings up the secession thing from time to time. Texas has, or had, the right to divide itself into four states, even that may be in contention depending on which of those "This" or "That" documents you would be refering too dependent on which side of the fench you happen to be leaning on at the time. Not much chance of that happening though as it kinda takes to many bragging rights with it.

Can some one please reference where in the constitution, it is illegal for a state to succeed.

It's sad that americans don't read it more often, It takes less than an hour to read the whole constitution and it's really self explanitory.

On the other hand ,If the dry spell continues, Well... 1 spark and it's "Texas Toast". Besides those things you've allready mentioned Butch I'd like to add a 1 more for the list 1) The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Now THEY deserve their own Country just like the Swede Bikini team have their OWN country
 
................ turned out the Texas had moved to Alabama,

My good friend just moved to Tanner, near Huntsville and is building a house on the inland waterway that is the Tennessee River. He cleared and dug and built a shop, bored a well and put in a septic system, then figured he's better go into town and check in with the Building Department, find out which codes applied and get a Building Permit before the structures became too obvious.

Took him hours to find the city offices, he walked in and asked about permits and inspections.

The guy looked at him for a while and "well, this is your land, right?"

"Yeahh, I'm planning to build a house."

"Well, do you know how to build a house?"

"Yeahh, I have been a developer and builder for 20yrs in 4 states and...."

"So what exactly are you asking me for?"

"Codes, building permits, local methods and inspection schedules.."

"Well son, we don't really have any of that 'round here. You want to build a house you just have at it y'hear? It's your land to do what you will with...."

He walked out with a big grin on

:)

And is happily building his house as we speak.

Texas also has Michael Berry on talk radio. I download his podcasts every day. Good to listen to a conservative from Texas.
I have links to his podcasts on my Gun Rights and Politics Page.

Eastern Montana and Western ND likely have as much gas and oil as anyone plus along with WY have enough coal for a LONG time. Just sayin'....
 
Here's how it was done in 1860.
