TEXAS NATIONALISTS ARE GAINING ATTENTION AROUND THE WORLD
TheCypressTimes.com ^ | 10/20/2009 | Staff

While much of America’s mainstream news media continues to scoff at the notion of Texas independence, journalists from elsewhere around the globe are beginning to recognize that the Texas Nationalist Movement is gaining momentum in its quest to put the issue of Texas secession before the voters of the state.

TNM representatives have been deluged of late by requests for media interviews, particularly from journalists from overseas. TNM President Daniel Miller has been interviewed by Iranian television and a request from British TV is in the wings, while stories about the movement have also been featured in Agence France-Presse, the French version of the AP, and other agencies.

“I think what this signals is that our message, because of its consistency, is being taken seriously,” said Miller. “Our only agenda is Texas independence, we’re all-inclusive, and we’ve done the research to back up our contention that Texas could stand on its own. We’re the only group that has done that, and because of that we are earning legitimacy.”

The Texas Nationalist Movement continues to fight for Texas Freedom, Sovereignty and attention from both mainstream politicians and the U.S. media - however foreign media has taken an interest in the movement.

The question is not whether Texas can stand by itself, but rather should it. The strong steady hand of Texas is needed now in Washington more than ever..."Baby please don't go."

It might have worked a few years ago, but with so many illegals and so many northern libs here now we don’t have the backbone anymore. Not to mention everywhere east of I35 is too dependent on gov welfare so we’d have to cut the state down the middle. No, the once great state of Texas is now lost.

Since the Civil War era, has there been any other strong push for States to reassert their sovereignty? For people to talk about succession? For more than a million people to march on Washington (and across the country) to protest an out of control Government?

Obama was never the right man for the job and he shows no signs of becoming it either.

Its too soon to think of such things—but the day may well come if the current group in Washington City keep ripping away at the rights of Americans-—Session may be the only way for some fragment of America to exist. I see Texas as being the hub of a number of states that might leave. Obama may well destroy the USA with his changes.

"...While much of America’s mainstream news media continues to scoff ..."

As if their opinion matters in the least.

When secession succeeds, we'll have our own Texan TV networks up and running in no time, and they will deviate from the current template in that they will exude patriotism and pride rather than treason and deceit. Even the Mexican stations will buy in, if they know what's good for them!

Both terms are more PC than how I usually refer to them.

Too many people confuse the legitimate desire for a return of states rights with a pathetic fantasy of secession.

...Texas is now lost.

Imagine how many conservative Americans would flock to Texas if they actually did it, or how many liberals would move out.

I knew I was dealing with an honest to goodness Texas real estate lady, when I emailed my itinerary to her and she replied this way:

“Hot Dog! Come on down. We’ll be a waiting for ya!”

LOL

Dan Miller is a joke.

yep. No better way to play into the hands of men like George Soros and actually weaken states rights than to try to secede.

Frankly I wish he would put up or shut up now rather than later so it can be put down and forgotten before real damage is done.
