Is It Time To Discuss A Texas Secession?

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Every day we turn on the news, and we see the Federal government acting in ways that in no way represent the will of the people.

The public was against the bailouts, both Republicans and Democrats ignored us.
The public is against the government running private companies, the Fed ignored us.
The public is against generational theft that our children and grandchildren will slave to pay, the politicians ignored us.

We protest, and we're dismissed by the President.


Someone once asked me on a forum what I thought it would take to motivate the American people to revolt.
I replied that it would take out of control government, a dismissive power elite, an onerous tax burden and pampered entitlement class with loss of state and individual rights. I went on to say that I didn't believe it would happen in my lifetime.

That was two years ago.....and I've changed my mind. This government is dashing pellmell to ruin.
