Please secede Texas, please.

We don't need to secede and break up our beloved country to accomplish what we want. A formal assertion of our 10th Amendment rights to Washington will stop all of the over-reach, over taxation, and left-wing mandates from the feds.

We've got a much better chance of actually achieving that politically, as well. There's a great deal of support for the idea across the state and in the legislature.

Secession should only be a last resort, if all else fails.

The left will treat full, formal, enforced assertion of the 10th amendment as secession. It’ll have to come to that, because the courts will rule against states’ rights in every case.

I disagree. As long as we are forced to live under liberal fascism we will not be free. The sooner secession happens, the sooner the path back to freedom can begin. The federal government will never allow the 10th Amendment to be enforced. The Supreme Court of un-elected black-robed tyrants has already ruled that the Commerce Clause trumps all states rights. Texas is one of the few places where freedom still has any support. The rest of the country s content to be governemtn slaves. Please secede Texas, please.
