The Republican Party of Texas has finally released its 2022 platform and the vote totals for each plank. Over 90% support a vote on TEXIT.
After a two-and-a-half-week delay, the RPT has released its platform, and the delegate vote totals for each plank. The Texas Nationalist Movement has been eagerly awaiting the results of the vote for two planks that expressly call for a vote on TEXIT.
The strongest of the two numbered initially as Plank 224, was renumbered as Plank 225 due to a last-minute addition of a plank earlier in the platform at the convention. Plank 225 reads:
“Texas Independence: We urge the Texas Legislature to pass a bill in its next session requiring a referendum in the 2023 General Election for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.”
The TEXIT plank passed with support from 90.08% of the delegates. Therefore, a vote on TEXIT is now the official position of the Republican Party of Texas.
The TEXIT plank outperformed other core and hot-button Republican issues such as the Convention of the States (78.9%), Border Security and Immigration (85.64%), Prosecution of Election Fraud (83.95%), and Support of the Armed Forces (89.12%).
Support at the convention was evident even before the vote was taken. When interviewed at the convention, Joshua Stambaugh, a delegate from Senate District 22 and the TNM’s Local Coordinator in Waco, experienced the overwhelming support first-hand. “I can tell you, here at the convention, everyone I’ve talked to, and I’ve talked to at least 100 people, only one didn’t support our movement.”
The TNM has said for years that Texas is at a tipping point and that Texans want to express their right to self-government in a TEXIT vote. 90% of the largest political convention in the world, representing the dominant political party of Texas, have spoken.
While the opposition and political establishment continue to push the narrative that TEXIT is a fringe idea pushed by a vocal minority of Texans, they have again been exposed as abject liars or woefully out-of-touch with Texas voters.
State Representative Kyle Biedermann, the author of House Bill 1359, the Texas Independence Referendum Act in the 87th legislative session, expressed his lack of surprise at the result.
So was California (for a few weeks, as The Bear Republic). But California these days feels like a foreign country, not part of the United States.
If things got so bad that Texas left the union, other states would join her for new a CSA (Constitutional States of America)/ What would it take? Election cheats, Guns taken from People, Forced Green Energy, Gas 28 dollars a gallon, Food rationing. It would need to be something really bizarre to set things off. How about cancelling the 2022 election? Packing the courts from 9 judges to 21? (one being Hillary Clinton).
Indiana, West Virginia and possibly Ohio would likely want to join those red states. It’d probably be more effective to draw it up by the groupings of counties.
Anyone actually looked at the TX budget?
Texas can’t afford to Texit.
Texans are writing checks with their mouths that their butts can’t cash.
Indiana maybe too. Each state would have to decide for themselves.
I say NO to your inclusion of “DFW” in that group.
Include Dallas only. I was born and raised in Dallas, but that was in the 1940s-’50s and things there are now much different. Areas West of Dallas County are MUCH different.
Now, all Texas needs is to commandeer a few nukes from the Feds to keep progressives off their lawn. God Bless, Texas...but, not Austin
Losing Texas would be a disaster for the rest of the US. Kick Vermont from the Union and the Left loses two Senators. Heck boot a few of them.
” there’s only one state capable of doing this, and it’s Texas.”
True That.
On the grave marker of my father’s grandfather:

“Citizen of the Republic of Texas”
He was born in the Republic of Texas which existed from 1836-1846.
He donated the land on which the community school, church, and cemetery were built. He is buried in that cemetery, a little over a mile from my house at the farm. The community is gone, but he still lies there.
Awesome!!! If they are leavin’ then I am GTT!!
The FR statist slugs are in a uproar. LOL.
Correct.
But let me remind you that the US did not have a right under English law to secede. But here we are. (for now)
The responses here makes we wonder why this site is even called “Free Republic”. According to the statist slugs it should be called “Nancy’s Democracy”
It’s easy for lily white freepers that live in Yankee enclaves to poop poo Texit. Easy for them but TEXAS IS BEING OVERRUN EVEN AS WE SPEAK.
See tagline.
Nukes have nothing to do with it. Think about that for second . If the threat of being nuked is the thing keeping you in tyranny then you are already dead.
Biden is more analogous to Buchanan...the only other POTUS born in Pennsylvania.
Both men feckless, weak and preferred to watch the country fall apart in front of them, rather than do anything to stop the slide.
