Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov ^ | Nov. 9, 2012 | Micah H

Here is how the document reads-

The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

Sure wish the goofball that wrote this would’ve cleaned up the grammar. Kinda embarrassing.

Nowhere near as eloquent as...
“When in the Course of human events...”

“when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government...”

“The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”

But it’ll have to do.

Was this submitted by the Texas Legislature or just some group?

So far it’s been signed by 393 people, which - even if all are actually from Texas - is still a bit short of a majority of Texas’ roughly 25,750,000 citizens.

This isn’t “Texas” - it’s a bunch of self-important clowns who imagine that that they speak on behalf of the actual Texas.
