House Bill 1359, otherwise known as the Texas Independence Referendum Act, would let residents vote on if the Texas Legislature should create a joint interim committee to create a plan for independence for the state.
In a press release provided to The Gateway Pundit, the Texas Nationalist Movement explained that “the bill would give Texans an opportunity to head to the polls in November of 2021 and start the process of reasserting our status as an independent nation. If the people vote in favor, the bill provides for the establishment of a committee to begin working on a transitional plan which would address all of the issues related to decoupling from the federal government.”

Texas Nationalist Movement President Daniel Miller added that, “this bill is simply to put the question to the people of Texas. Even if legislators don’t personally support TEXIT, at a minimum, they should support your right to publicly debate and vote on the issue. Your representatives either believe that you are smart and responsible enough to make this decision, or they believe that they know what’s best for you regardless of what you think. There is no middle ground.“
“The people of Texas are sick and tired of living under 180,000 pages of federal laws administered by 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats,” said Miller. “At the end of the day, the best people to govern Texas are Texans, and this vote will give us that chance.”
Representative Biedermann said that the national government is failing Texans and they should be allowed to vote on leaving the union.
“This Act simply lets Texans vote through a referendum..

Sometimes you just need to DO IT. Lead Texas, and the remaining Freedom-lovers will follow.
Either we will be a Constitutional Republic, or not.
Man I hope this passes.
Outstanding.
Texas is the only state in the US with an independent power grid. They have the 1st and 4th Armored Divisions there too.
You’ll have to fight me for that spot. 😜
No, they're still up ... they're just using the "proper" flag ...
“But given a choice I’d rather join with the other Great Plains states and form our own country “
You’d be land locked. Without a sea coast such a country would be bound in poverty forever.
I am afraid it would be just the opposite and not only unimaginable but unattainable for freedom and liberty.
Show us another pathway that regains and protects our freedoms and liberties that is actually attainable because the current system is irretrievably broken.
You’d be land locked. Without a sea coast such a country would be bound in poverty forever.
Just like Switzerland.
You mean the same Switzerland that is strangled the edicts and laws of thee EU which they are apart of?
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma should form an energy consortium, drill, drill, drill, frack, frack, frack, and if the Feds complain, give them all a double barreled bicker salute.
“They have the 1st and 4th Armored Divisions there too.”
Which are not the property of the State of Texas
Now the fight is to get a majority of the Texas Legislators to ALLOW Texans to vote for secession.
That’s gonna be the roadblock.
They’re scared to just put it on the ballot.
I’d vote aye to secede but I ain’t gonna be allowed to express my opinion in a state referendum.
I could go along with living in the Republic of the Heartland.
So?
Without a sea coast such a country would be bound in poverty forever.
Yeah we might wind up being poverty stricken like Switzerland or Austria or Slovakia or the Czech Republic.
Texas and enjoining states, and there will more of them, should then refer to the present federal government as the government of the so called United States.
We will no longer be “One Nation Under God Indivisible”
—
We already aren’t.
More like Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan.
Yes, it seems to be the only way left now that the Democrats own the electoral system The ideal would be Texas separates, liberals leave Houston and Dallas in droves back to Kalifornia, and Oklahoma to Florida joins in a new Confederacy. The question mark is Georgia. Is Georgia really a Democrat state now, or was that all due to fake voters?
I vote ‘aye’.
Next, oath of loyalty to Texas, with deportation as punishment of oath breaking.
