Yours is not a new idea. Look up "Knights of the Golden Circle," John Walker, and the original meaning of the term "filibusters."

James Fannin, a failed Ring Knocker, (from Hudson High), from Georgia, the guy who failed to relieve the Alamo, was a filibuster. He originally figured to invade Mexico and march on Vera Cruz. It's the reason he didn't want to be distracted with going to San Antonio. He was worried that Travis and Bowie would rank him out of his scheme.

Perhaps it's time to resurrect the idea. Let's hope we do better, this time.
