Should Texas Secede? Texans May Have Ballot Question to \u201cReassert Its Status As Independent Nation\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Texas-Takes-Stand\"<\/p>\n

The question of secession on a ballot it is a one. Secession might make a powerful statement to voice defiance government tyranny, but it could also set off sparks.<\/p>\n

Now, it appears that the biggest and most independent-minded state in the union might test that question. What happens after that is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the possibility shows the pulse of the nation:<\/p>\n

Texans May Have Secession Question on Republican Primary Ballot<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Joshua Krause at the Daily Sheeple<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from voting for whatever politician happens to be the flavor of the month, the Republican voters of Texas may\u00a0have an additional question to answer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for when Super Tuesday arrives next year. If the Texas Nationalist Movement has its way, then the Republican primary ballot may have to ask voters to decide whether or not they think \u201cthe state of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation\u201d and secede from the United States<\/p>\n

Much to the chagrin of the Republican party, the Texas independence group is currently gathering signatures for a petition that would place their non-binding question on the ballot. According to the Texas Secretary of State, they will need at least 66,894 signatures, though the organization is shooting for 75,000.<\/p>\n

Historically, the Republican Party would have the final say on what goes on their ballot, and they\u2019ve tried to distance themselves from the Texas Nationalist Movement in the past. If the petition succeeds, it would be the first time that an outside group has their referendum placed on the Republican ballot. The group\u2019s president hopes that the vote will get state legislators to take the issue seriously. \u201cTexas and Washington, D.C. are on very different paths, and the people of Texas obviously recognize that\u2026The Texas Nationalist Movement message has been one not of reaction to grievance but one of a future we can build as an independent nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
