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..

Gateway-our Enquirer. Strictly the truth.
The devil is in the details.
That can be paraphrased as:
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
Now where did I read that before?
I wonder if they’ll have to change the amusement park to 7 Flags over Texas or if they’ll just revert back to the 4th flag and leave it as is?
I’d vote for it, just to put some real fear in the Feral Monster.
Just tell me where I need to vote. I will be first in line.
We will no longer be “One Nation Under God Indivisible”
I thought they took down the flags, because of the one flag that cannot be shown. :-P
Texas would probably take the mid-west up to the Canadian Border with them.
Did they? It has been 20 years since I was there. They probably did. The Texas National Guard unit I served in traced its lineage back to the Battle of the Alamo and in fought in the civil war of course. our motto was “Remember the Alamo”. We have a plaque at the Alamo as IIRC.
And the only office holders can be people who were born in Texas. Period.
Sounds like a lengthy process.
I turned down an opportunity to take a new position with my company in Texas. I’m starting to rethink it.
They can load the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock on a flatbed and ship it to a blue state.
And hopefully the Southeast and Mountain States...
But..... What happens when most of Virginia wants in? All but about 4 or 5 areas are as RED as they can be. Think about Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The only reason they have Dem Governors is because of the cities. Most of the state is Conservative. That’s the way it is in most of the country.
What happens when the people of Colorado, outside of Denver-Boulder-Colorado Springs want in? Even most of Oregon and Washington are like that.
“ the Texas Legislature should create a joint interim committee to create a plan for independence for the state.”
Sounds like a lot of bureaucracy to divest Texas from bureaucracy.
LOL! If Texas walks out then I agree that it'll be the beginning of the splitting up of the U.S. But given a choice I'd rather join with the other Great Plains states and form our own country than hitch our wagon to Texas.
The liberal moronic asshats and their ilk in DC want to kill fossil fuels? I’m quite sure Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas can help em out with that.
