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..

We have a navigation system that runs from Mississippi River to the Tulsa Port of Catoosa. Oklahoma wants in. We are pretty red not counting those two asshats we have for senators.
Works for me.
Who thought of this? It’s realistic in many ways.
Texas is NOT landlocked. They have the Gulf coast ports.
Louisiana would join Alabama may also, and other states.
Someone posted over 24 states that should join Texas, and it could work. Food—Energy—are in the central states. The coasts can sink or swim on their own. They have deliberately CONTAMINATED themselves with illegals & criminals. Let them live with their own messes.
Little problem with secession...Texas vs White (1869).
Texas v. White, (1869), U.S. Supreme Court case in which it was held that the United States is “an indestructible union” from which no state can secede.”
I favor extending the right to secede on a county by county basis.
The invitation could even be extended to counties in Mexico and Canada, since we are starting a new country.
Let there be a referendum within each countyfor the next 4 or 5 decades, let each county decide for itself and let the boundaries solidify. Dual citizenship for both sides for those 5 decades.
There are already sovereign nation enclaves within the borders of the US, they are called Indian Reservations.
SCOTUS has gotten things wrong before, like the Dredd Scott decision.
How do you figure? We would have industry, finance, trade, no reason why we can't be prosperous seacoast or no seacoast.
To borrow a line from an old movie, "No paper can hold the iron. It must come from men."
We already don’t have liberty and justice for all. So what is the big deal?
If Texans do t want to be part of the USA, I would not fight to keep them.
That would be like a degenerate husband beating his wife, because she asked for a divorce.
Let them join the new republic.
Every 10 years during the census, each county to vote on and decide which country they wanna be in. Solidify the borders in 4 or 5 decades.
Many of those libtard enclaves will empty out or simply join.
I don’t know who these Texans are but I am a Texan and I do not agree with them.
Many states need to do the same. The hold a state by state union under, idk, call it a constitutional form of government. Maybe have something in there about states rights.
This displaced native Texan would sell everything, and head back home. The feds can just take it in the sac.
We aren’t now. The 4th branch of government has taken over. The burocratic branch has dismissed the other 3.
Try reading the article first before commenting.
You would then realize there is a link from the Representative that confirms what is being said.
Great idea, though it would be a real nightmare if the territory was not contiguous. With Colorado, new Mexico, Arizona divided by blue extclaves they would have to get passports to travel to other gimmiedat areas. Interesting to note how few blue counties have airports. Most are in adjacent counties.
Most of the oil/gas and other resources (such as most farming) would be deep in red country. This includes Mexico and Canadian areas.
I live in one of the most umfriendly states in the Union, PA. Our Governor is illiterate and might be insane considering the sanctions he has imposed and the ones he wants to. The mask is and was so insane few people use one here anymore.
The upshot is being a person who lived in Texas, loved Texas and it institutions, never saw a person there I didn’t like, loved the geology, the Bend, the flats and the beaches and it all and considered Texas my “home” since I had never had one, would I be welcomed back after being gone since early 1994 or so?
I will help in any way I can for them to secede. That is the only rational solution to the political chicanery and the dishonesty manifest in virtually every other state. Biden’s crew and their love affair with the Chinese absolutely makes me vomit. Hunter getting away with major dishonesty is a sacrilege to all we conservatives and religious people believe. I will not Californicate Texas, I promise.
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.
*********************
Probably Texas would rather you do that, too. But, darling, what if the other Great Plain States don’t want you either...it sounds like you might have to consider the cities that the dems occupy. There may remain a place called the USA under da’ground. interesting, yes?
