A group of Texas secessionists is hitting the road to bring their message of a Lone Star nation to more than 20 cities across the state.
Today, the Texas Nationalist Movement is kicking off their "Take Texas Back Tour," with speaking dates booked at hotels and other venues throughout North, East and Central Texas. The group says it aims to collect signatures to get Texas secession on the 2016 ballot. That isn't actually possible—only the legislature can get referendums on the ballot in Texas—but the separatists hope to court volunteers and supporters across the state.
Sunday, the Movement created a collection of Facebook events for each of their bookings. So far the highest number of confirmed guests will turn up this evening in Tyler—88 people—and on Wednesday in Fort Worth—62 people. Most of the seminars are booked at hotels, and other cities including Marshall, New Braunfels, Austin, Corpus Christi, Conroe and Dallas.
The TNM could not be reached for comment Monday. A secretary said all officials were out on the tour. In a statement on the group's website, president Daniel Miller said, "This tour is our way of connecting with the thousands of Texans who have pledged their support to our cause and makes a statement about the direction of the Texas Nationalist Movement. The relentless march to identify, communicate with and organize TNM supporters who are seeking to work for the independence of Texas is paramount at this point."

If they actually could pull secession I’d be there in a minute.
Will Obama break out the Confederate Flag and wrap Texas in it ?
“If they actually could pull secession I’d be there in a minute.”
Drat, beat me to it.
I view this as a surrender. It’s surrenders the other 49 states.
I was taught you fight for all of what you have. If someone tries to take it from you, you tell them no and kick their ass if you have to.
Vacating California, or separating from the Union, it’s the same old thing. It’s surrender.
Whatever happened to kicking the living snot out of anyone who tries to destroy our nation?
That’s what you do. You don’t say, “Okay, well we’ll just let you have what you want and go off to our corner and brag about how wise we are as compared to everyone else.”
We want our whole nation, you and F’rs on the Left, your day is rapidly coming to an end. In January of 2017, it’s over.
I’d be there with probably another twenty people I know.
We want our whole nation, you and F’rs on the Left, your day is rapidly coming to an end. In January of 2017, it’s over.
Watch out for the Jade Helm 15 guys.
We’ve talked and talked and talked about seceding since day one. Enough already. Do it or get off the pot.
Is this the group funded by Russia?
And you would immediately make the state you left that much more Leftist. Is that a good plan?
What would it accomplish to make 49 states full blown Leftist hell holes?
You’d have 275 million people on the left in one massive nation, and about 50 million on the right in Texas.
No s-—...
Please do it..
I do not care about the other 49 states, I care about my freedom . Screw them.
it is very simple...... conservatives, the far right, lack the raw political power to prevail.
Obama is the result of a frontal all or nothing assault on the presidency. A suicidal ride up the valley with the guns on each side destroying the cavalry of the light brigade yields only death and a poem
the most conservative available candidate must be elected in spite of perceived impurities.
Except, in this case, it's the nation that's destroyed itself. A large part of it, anyway. Texas wants to save itself before the USS America goes down.
We can do this peacefully or in a bloody civil war. I am good either way.
They'll tell you they're just a down-home, grassroots, folksy movement that meets with the Kremlin-backed Donetsk People's Republic from time to time just to be all neighborly-like.
