Fiercely independent and thoroughly horrified at the blatantly unconstitutional explosion of federal tyranny into every aspect of our lives, Texans are set to march on the state capitol in droves on Saturday. They will be delivering a million-strong petition to their elected officials based on the 10th Amendment, demanding an immediate constitutional confrontation with Washington.
If they are turned away or their concerns inadequately addressed, organizer Gerry Donaldson says they "will be forced to call for a vote for secession." This will not be the last time a state openly defies Obama's treasonous war on the Constitution.
Donaldson, who runs his own Internet radio show, says they are "calling for an orderly process that will allow our federal government to fall back in line with the Constitution." He continued, "Either we will restore America, we will live in a Marxist dictatorship, or we will secede and start over again."
“...but I know a few good ol boys who after a few shots of Kentuckys best can catch bullets with their teeth.”
I wish I could say that...because most of us don’t have teeth.
I omit “indivisible” when reciting the pledge to the US Flag.
I also recite the Texas Pledge of Allegiance in full.
heh,heh...
I think Abe taught Texas about that whole indivisible thing.
And the only hope for a Texas succession would be for a contingent of like minded Texans to move to Loving County and as a county vote to leave Texas and the USA.
No State can split itself regardless of what the Congress ever said. The Constitution says the Congress would need to consent to that. Also, the Supreme Court has said that all States are on an "equal footing" with each other. In this case, that means since no other State can unilaterally split itself, neither can Texas.
My kids are Texans. Texas leaves the Union and I am so cashing in on the Anchor baby thing... ;-) I miss Texas.
Yer' a friggin' Tory...
what’s your handle on facebook?
The Republican Party is a joke.
It’s not a republic anymore. It is a Socialist government that is trending close to Marxism.
No, I am an American.
I didn't know there was such a thing.
Not without consent of Congress. Read Article IV.
No thank you, I like Dallas just fine.
You may have been born here, but you are NO American.
Now you’re just being stupid.
The petition drive makes for titillating press but, at the moment, there just isn't any fire to go along with the smoke.
Other states are watching closely, particularly Montana and Oklahoma. It is inconceivable that Oklahoma would stay in the Federal Union if Texas left.
