Why secede?

Rationale for Texas Secession (aka "Texit"):

Did you know that Texas, the mainland U.S.A.'s largest state, was its own country during the mid-1800's? What if Texas resumes being its own country, liberated from the U.S.A.? Texas' economy would be ranked somewhere within the world's Top Ten, especially if it finally wins liberation from Washington D.C.'s spendthrift, vote-buying ways which USDebtClock.org helps expose. Here is an informative list of the size of many different countries' annual gross domestic products.

Indeed Texas, thanks in part to its constitutional ban against a state income tax, still creates the vast majority of new jobs in the U.S.   Meanwhile Texas is the only U.S. mainland state with its own electricity / power grid, and it has abundant petroleum and agricultural resources too. Furthermore, in 2015 Texas' legislature established the first state-run gold depository in the entire U.S.A. Texas also has the U.S.A.'s most commercially active port, the world's largest medical center and a growing movie industry. Additionally Texas has an encouraging commercial space sector that could succeed without, if not altogether outperform (jealously monopolistic, bureaucratic and tax-leeching) NASA.   (Examples: Blue Origin & SpaceX).

As far as national defense goes, the Lone Star State already has the Texas State Guard (which answers only to the governor), the Texas Army National Guard, the Air Guard and the Texas Rangers. Texas also sends lots of folks to the federal government's military as these statistics help show. Should Texas continue getting its future increasingly mortgaged by central planners over a thousand miles away in Washington D.C.? Why does Texas not resume being its own country so that it can better focus on paying down its own debts? Isn't it time for a Texit?

new Have you seen this July, 2022 news regarding the Texas Republican platform's secession planks?

Previously: Did you know that as of 2020, plank #65 of the Texas Republican platform now says the following?

State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1 Section 1 of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas, should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States should a future president and congress change our political system from a constitutional republic to any other system.

For further information about this inspirational development, please visit the news section of TNM.me.

Meanwhile please feel free to contact a local chapter of the Republican Party here in Texas to request
that they (for example) please help set up a secession petition signing event in your area...

Likewise, did you know that the Libertarian Party of Texas' platform officially states the following?

http://www.lptexas.org/platform

IV.3. Texas Independence 

"LPTexas fully supports the rights of the people to alter their form of government. As the U.S. federal government is increasingly expanding its influence well beyond its Constitutional authority and clearly violating citizens’ rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, the right of the people of Texas to alter their form of government, as stated in Article I Section 2 of the Texas Constitution, must be acknowledged by allowing Texans to have an honest and frank discussion on the merits of independence and being allowed to vote accordingly to reassert Texas’ Independence."

They have a growing quantity of political candidates in Texas, too...

Did you know that the Texas Constitution says the following?

"Article 1, Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient."

Can you believe how much larger Texas is than some prominent countries around the world?
These comparative maps are interesting to view...
