MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: TEXIT Legislation Filed For Next Legislative Session
From state rep Kyle Biedermann's facebook page:
"The federal government is out of control and does not represent the values of Texans. That is why I am committing to file legislation this session that will allow a referendum to give Texans a vote for the State of Texas to reassert its status as an independent nation. This legislation perfectly aligns with Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution which reads: “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.” #Texit "

Re: TEXIT
Is there really any chance of this happening? The last time secession was tried is got messy.
If Texas succeeded, I suspect we would also see Hawaii attempt the same thing.
Which other states have a strong secessionist sentiment?

I don't watch TV, but sometimes I hear MSM news items on the radio in the car. So I probably know just as much as you.

Re: TEXIT
I sincerely hope they succeed. It might start a pattern that is more healthy for other states if they (other states) decide to follow suit.ajax wrote: ↑November 29th, 2020, 9:23 pm A Guide To Texas Independence

Yeah, he runs for governor basically every election in Texas. I always vote for him, since the GOP out here is just an elite club of plutocrats.Cruiserdude wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 7:20 amHow can you not get a big smile when you listen to him I will apply(beg) for citizenship if they succeed in this righteous endeavor of removing the evil corrupt federal gubment out of their lives.

Re: TEXIT
Anymore, it seems that's what the GOP has turned into EVERYWHERE. I'm over them(full disclosure I have been for quite a few years, not just from this current stuff) They definitely do not have the people's backs or the people best interests truly at heart. How about a 'Truth' party?Lexew1899 wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 7:52 amYeah, he runs for governor basically every election in Texas.

Naaahhh, we just need out of the corrupted system.

Re: TEXIT
Previous Independence Referendums Point To The Success Of A TEXIT Vote
https://tnm.me/news/political/previous- ... texit-vote
https://tnm.me/news/political/previous- ... texit-vote
While skeptics continue to doubt the possibility of TEXIT, historical evidence points to the success had by previous nations who have voted for independence.
An in-depth look into the history of independence referendums shows that out of the 48 referendums held since 1905, when Norway voted to withdraw from Sweden, a whopping 43 have resulted in forming a new independent self-governing nation on the first vote. This equates to an 89.5% success rate. Two other referendums that failed on the first vote subsequently reversed their “no” results on a second referendum.
The one outlier is Quebec, which has held two votes to leave Canada, and remains the only state where an independence referendum is yet to result in a separation in more than a century.
While the Scottish Independence Referendum ultimately ended with negative results—55.3% in favor of “no” to 44.7% voting “yes”— they appear to be headed for a second referendum.
As mentioned, only five independence referendums resulted in defeat—one in Malta, one in Montenegro, two in Quebec, and the referendum in Scotland. However, in Malta and Montenegro, the citizens later reversed their decisions and, a decade later, opted for independence.
Other referendums that have resulted in their country’s independence, including Iceland in 1944, Algeria in 1961, Eritrea in 1993, East Timor in 1999, Montenegro in 2006, Southern Sudan in 2011, and the United Kingdom in 2015.
The historical success of independence referendums shows the odds of a successful TEXIT vote are high should Texans be given the opportunity to vote on the issue.
The Texas Independence Referendum Act can give Texans the vote on independence that they deserve. This proposed legislation will provide Texans with the choice to vote and become a self-governing and independent nation-state.
The Act is a comprehensive piece of legislation and has been modeled after the Scottish Referendum Act, the UK Referendum Act, and previous proposals that the TNM has submitted.
But to make this happen, to make history happen, we need your help. Your support to make Texas a sovereign state will help to get us over the line and into independence.

Re: TEXIT
Texas may have had special exit rights when it was accepted originally, not sure if they still exist. I saw a write-up by Alito somewhere that said to legally secede you need to call a conference of states and get a majority (one vote per state) that seceding is ok, then each state may follow and secede. At least that is what the constitutional lawyers were saying.

Re: TEXIT
The events of the last few days, viewed from this side of the pond, suggest to me there has never been a time when secession would be more appropriate.
If a state was determined to secede and honour the founding principles of the framers of the constitution, I say go for it.
And we'll form the Republic of Yorkshire and go with them..... so long as they don't let Lancashire in.

Re: TEXIT
I think I would have disagreed with you two days ago for the reasons i stated then. The beat kingdom/Gadianton robbers would never allow it. They simply cannot allow a group of people out there to be free. It goes against their will to dominate all life on the planet. The problem with that line of thinking is that it removes God from the equation. As long as the new republics are populated by righteous and moral people who live by their righteous founding principles God would not allow them to be taken over. Even if it is a nation of only 10 people God would protect them from the armies of the entire earth.Robin Hood wrote: ↑January 8th, 2021, 10:10 am The events of the last few days, viewed from this side of the pond, suggest to me there has never been a time when secession would be more appropriate.

A righteous nation cannot be defeated. They have to be corrupted first.
