The idea of Texas seceding from the Union is a long time joke, but a secession petition on WhiteHouse.gov has received enough signatures to be seriously reviewed by the White House.

This isn't quite the equivalent of the Declaration of Independence, but in the digital age, you could say it's similar.

Texas has already been a Republic, rocket scientist, unlike nuevo york.

National anthem will be DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS, if we decide to replace Texas our Texas.

The lyrics will be jointly written by Hank Jr. and Charlie Daniels, the title is from Davie Crockett, “I’M GOIN’ TO TEXAS AND Y’ALL CAN GO TO HELL”.

I’d like Michigan to succeed. But only if we can give Detroit and Wayne county to Ohio. Yes, I hate Ohio that much. Go BLUE! Besides, they deserve it. Erybody in cleveland got Obama phone and they kept Obama in President. You know?

I don’t blame Texas but we would never win another electoral college again without them.

“I don’t blame Texas but we would never win another electoral college again without them.”

Frankly, viewing the trends of the last two presidential elections, we may not win the electoral college again WITH Texas.... (sigh)

Nothing like a country song for the Texas National Anthem, who says it needs to be old timey stuff?

Of course we would have to acquire the rights from Little Texas. Whatever reasonable sum they want for the rights is fine with me.

Didn’t they try this once? It didn’t work out well if I recall—lots of folks dead. If a session move is to work—the Federal Government would need to lose all credibility and be seen as tyrannical—might happen. BUT its too soon. Then Texas and a number of other states would need a UDI Unilateral Declaration of Independence. Texas would be the magnet around a new nation—I suggest the CSA (Constitutional States of America). People would have to be willing to fight—and I don’t think many have the stomach for it—heck, they wouldn’t even get off their tails to vote for Mitt. Wait and see if Obama does something stupid first.
