Whenever I pose the question, “Why can’t we leave?” (referring to Texas leaving the Union), the answer is often, “Because it is illegal” . They then make reference to the staged case of Texas v. White, as their source. Had they read the ruling, in typical government bureaucratic style, it does not say secession is illegal. It merely adds more layers of government approval before it can happen.

In some cases, the responder makes reference to the vote where Texas re-joined the Union. What they often leave out is that many voters were not allowed to vote in that election due to the 14th amendment. The disqualification of voters is typically a civil rights concern, especially when it is done in disreagrd of the law, but ‘certain’ ethnic groups were disqualified from voting in the aftermath of the war, but since they had no voice at the time, they were not allowed to vote or speak out.

Even in the first election to join the stinkin’ Union, there were Federal agents working behind the scenes to meddle with the election process. Even the first election was not a fair one. If one wishes to be techinical, both elections to join the Union were riggedl in one form or another. This is an item that one is rarely told in government schools.

Another item that they don’t tell you in the schools is that neither Jefferson Davis nor Pendleton Murrah surrendered the government of Texas to the Yankees. It was conquered, not surrendered. The authority of the vote of the people was never surrendered. With that in mind, it is not necessary to secede from the Union again. All that is needed is to reaffirm the original secession, transfer all federal property over to Texas, and decide how to settle Texas’ share of the federal debt.

(One idea is to sell the federal lands, and then take those profits and apply them to the debt. The hard part is that the Hussein regime has made any settlement of the debt question difficult. At the same time, with the legitimacy of his office holding being in quesiton, the legitimacy of Texas’ share of the debt is also of dubious legal standing. If the money lenders in China knew the precarious legal situation he is in, they would not have leant him the money they have.  An axiom of common law is that when laws are passed in a deceitful manner or in disreagrd of the law, they are of dubious standing. )

Back to the question. “Why can’t we leave? ” We can, the more important question to answer is “When do we leave?” “How do we get started?”

Liberty for Texas and the South!
