A libertarian country has formed right in the heart of America!

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 constitution 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/.



I think we would be better off working with these people

(What I meant by "these people" is the Republic of Texas) - Info came from http://www.texassecede.com/faq.asp -

I think we would be better off working with these people

Does anyone here yet recognize that "these people" are activists who do not officially represent the Lakota people?

From the above link...

Since the Delegation's press conference, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Reservation have rejected Means's and the delegation's declaration of secession.

"They're individuals acting on their own. They did not come to the Rosebud Sioux tribal council or our government in any way to get our support and we do not support what they've done. We do not support what Means and his group are doing and they don't have any support from any tribal government I know of. They don't speak for us," said Rosebud Sioux Tribe president, Rodney Bordeaux.

But what about this Edward:

Despite those rejections rejection, Archer said that the Pine Ridge Reservation's council will "consider the proposal." A representative for the Standing Rock Reservation's council has said that that reservation is also considering Lakotah Oyate's proposal. Lakotah Oyate have also been holding discussions with "about 150" other indigenous organizations in the U.S. and mentioned particularly the Native Hawaiians.

Sigh...

5 different "semi-autonomous political entities"

sigh...indeed

But what about this

Who knows? That's might be what I say to my daughter when she wants to date someone twice her age and I just want to watch the news.

Yep, it's confusing to me, too. What's clear is that Means doesn't have the power to do what some think he can do.

 

[politicsNproverbs]

It sure was fun thinking about it while it lasted... Love all those areas/states.

I feel bad for them. I hope it works out eventually for THEIR sakes, if that's what they want.

 

[Pete Kay]

Well, damn Edward. Way to go and burst my bubble. I was getting really hyped up about this.

Sorry. I was thinking as we went along that I should have just let everyone have their fun. I guess I'm the dumbass who tells kids that Santa Claus doesn't exist...

 

[evan2024]

Maybe they will surprise us. Until then the Free State Project may be our best hope. No state income tax, no state sales tax, and overall lowest taxes in the country.

 

[CurtisLow]

very interesting.... I would like to learn more.

Screw New Hampshire, after tonight they lost all my respect. When I move it's either going to be to Vegas or Panama.

What? Montana's not good enough for you?

Snob.

 

[rice_classic]

I like the idea behind it but I live in Seattle and honestly, moving from an area like Seattle to there... NOT an upgrade.

the PacNW seriously rocks, there's a reason why half of California is moving here! Locals sometimes refer to it as Seattle-fornia.

When Lakotah becomes a soveriegn nation I'll be property there... Perhaps a Winter home? Any good skiing in that region?

Hate to rain on the parade, as this sounds great in theory.. It is not very practical.. A Landlocked chunk of land with no real means to drive an economy is doomed for failure..

Switzerland is landlocked and consists mostly of alpine terrain and glaciers.

I am with you. The Free State Project sounds like a failure when NH nominates Hillary and McCain. Is it relatively easy to move to Panama? You are like the 5th person on this forum who mentioned wanting to move to Panama. The Lakotah nation thing would be cool though.

yup, the lakota need to be the US bankers when they enslave their population.

Hello? Only 500 people have actually moved there. 8000 have pledged to when 10,000 is reached. I haven't signed up and won't until I finish school.
