Texas Secession Is Not a New Idea

As Texas Republicans meet for their state convention this week, one item on the table would invalidate the very name of the meeting itself: after a run of local resolutions supporting the Texas independence, the party will vote on the question of Texas seceding from the Union ...
In the 1990s .. the self-declared ambassador, consul-general and chief foreign legal officer of the separatist Republic of Texas, a man named Rick McLaren, led a week-long standoff against state authorities ... McLaren and his followers believed that .. the Republic of Texas still existed ...
Texas Republicans were expected to vote on the secession question on Friday.

(19 posts)Texas will never have a succession. They only talk about it when they get upset with us Democrats, and don't get there way. It's basically throwing a fit. After another dem wins you will hear about it all over again.
