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.
If Texas goes then the secession bug will spread all through the South and mid west like wildfire.
There is nothing in the US Constitution prohibiting secession, it is silent on the issue. Please read the US Constitution and stop spreading misinformation.

Pay attention to what the issue was about, Texas and it’s contract with joining the Union.
Maybe you didn't hear me

I believe that in time the union will gradually drift apart and depending on the era and at what level American fragmentation and disintegration are at, secession will either be just an incredibly nasty and bitter legal battle, or will involve bloodshed.
Great, the morning weirdo.
I believe it has been for a number of years now.
Go ahead, post the part of the US Constitution that prohibits state secession. I'll wait...
So we can go when we want.
When Texas was admitted to the Union if agreed to abide by the Constitution. Texas has the same powers and privileges as all the other states, no more and no less.
So no, Texas may not.
And even that was a one-time only chance that could be exercised only on admission to the Union. After that, dividing was controlled by Article IV of the Constitution.
They will need to raise their OWN taxes, their OWN army, their OWN currency, create their OWN foreign diplomacy, develop their OWN allies, and appoint their OWN diplomats....and do everything a nation does to protect it's citizens ... they will have to support and defend themselves, on their OWN, without US involvement.
How many ostriches exist on FR?
These comments bashing TEXIT are mainly coming from the above who have NEVER been to the TNM website or attended one of its rallies.
Pure ignorance and lack of understanding.
You should learn to spell secession before trying to sound like an expert on it.
I don’t look for a gradual transition, if it happens.
What we face today with the Globalist threat and Great Reset (BS) will not end well. There is no precedent for the scale of this assault.
Yes
Yes, very likely.
I’m not for secession at this point. But know others who are.
I would like to learn more about this if there is a more detailed article or essay somewhere. I support Texit as a last resort, but this ⬆️ that you described would be preferable. Im afraid our country is too dumbed down to understand this idea though. Would need a massive massive marketing and educational campaign. But if it’s the right way to save our country, we shouldn’t let difficulty stop us.
That is a myth. When Texas joined the Union in 1945, it was stipulated that the state could divide itself into as many as 4 states if it desired. There was no allowance for later leaving the Union.
