More than 250,000 Texans have joined forces with one goal in common: to see the state of Texas sucede from the union. The group is Texas Nationalist Movement, and the leader of that group works from the Nederland office.

Daniel Miller has been fighting for secession since 1996. He says the group has never been as close to their goal as they are right now.

Miller says, "The issue of secession, the issue of Independence has entered the mainstream dialogue and it's the first time in a very long time."

Miller describes the relationship between Texas and the federal government as a marriage, but says it's not a happy one. He says Texas plays the role of an abused spouse.

He says, "Now we stand at a decision. We have to say look do we go to counseling today, do we put up with this abuse from the federal government? Or do we go ahead and seek a political divorce from the federal government and the United States?"

Sounds great so long as Rick Perry doesn't become its president.
 
Cool

Let Texas go first - and then just when the Federal government is getting weary from fighting angry Texans, a bunch of other states can leave as well. Then she'll be finished and we can start with a clean slate, hopefully having learned a bit.
 
Ron Paul for President... of Texas.

I would probably try to move to Texas after college if this happened.
 
Only concern is, how do we get Texas to adopt a better monetary policy than the US. Monetary policy is so far out of the minds of the typical voter that I'm not sure any changes would be made.

I spoke with a guy who was running for congress in my state during the Republican primary a few months ago. I asked him why he didn't include anything about monetary policy on his website and he said it was because, "Not enough people care."

Thats probably my first concern with what happens after secession (Next to being invaded ofcourse).
 
Well I just moved to TX temporarily so yes let's secede, then let's all secede individually. :)

Another concern would be how to make sure the new Texas didn't adopt mercantilist/protectionist economic policies in general.

Only thought of mentioning this because the Texas nationalist website said this:

"Promoting fair trade between Texas and other nations."

And I doubt what they mean by fair trade is what I want it to mean.

That too. The US might try to isolate them by getting all their allies to not trade with Texas

But there's always Cuba :)
 
How will Texas remove Federal installations? Are we going to have Ft. Sumter all over again?

Monetary policy has to come first. A state has to nullify federal laws standing int he way of competing currency. The state must nullify tax codes that try and claim a capital gains tax on money exchange. Then, built on sound money, that state will have no choice but to part ways the collapsing US.
 
Luckily Texas is very good at maintaining a budget and not passing too many bills lol. They can only meet like a few weeks out of the year.
 
Lol

You want your Federal installations back? Then Texans want the tax money back that paid for them. Or shall we call it even?

Who gave the federal government permission to squat in Texas anyway? Perhaps it is as simple as letting those in the installations go back to where they came from. Of course, if they prefer, I suppose they could be deported.

What state do you live in lol? The Great State of Texas once recognized Albert DeSolvo for his unique contribution to population control.
