“Texas can become five states but it can’t legally secede.”

Yep. And this is why states like California need to split up :-)!

Quite honestly, and I might get slammed being a “big government supporter”, but I think we can work to solve many of the nations problems by EXPANDING the number of representatives in the house beyond this ridiculous 1 Rep. = 750,000 people nonsense!!!!! Bring it down to 1 Rep. = 100K people OR 30K as spelled out in the constitution.

You can keep the capitol and Senate in Washington, but regionalize the house to save on travel costs. This way, people will hopefully know their representative a bit more and the “madhouse” effect will keep only those dedicated to their job in power. Moreover, corrupting 5K or 10K people won’t be as easy :-)!

Those are just my thoughts though...I am sure those smarter than I can rebuke those sentiments in a heartbeat.

I am not for states seceding though. Despite this bullcrap occurring in our nation at this time, it shouldn’t mean we give up the United States of America as it exists today simply due to some idiots taking charge of the nation right now.

We still have the power....it may not seem like it now, but we do.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I don’t see a single dang thing wrong with talking about it. I think it’s important that the lard-asses in Warshington get the message that they can’t take anything for granted. That just because they’ve had it one way for 100 years doesn’t mean it’s always going to go down the same track.
