Do you believe that Texas would better off as an independent nation?

There has been some discussion over the issue of whether or not the Texas Legislature has the legal authority to call for a referendum on Texas leaving the Union. It is a worthwhile discussion and signals some progress in the debate over the issue of Texas independence. The short answer is ‘absolutely’.

The Republican Party is in the midst of a full-blown uprising against the political class. On the national-level it’s the “Trump insurgency”. In Texas, it’s a revolution over something entirely different - a vote on Texas leaving the union.

Although the Texas Nationalist Movement is exclusively focused on the independence of Texas, we are watching the referendum on UK membership in the European Union intensely. The reason is simple. We are currently engaged in a political fight that is very similar to the debate taking place in the UK at this very moment.

GOP Chairman Tom Mechler’s recent remarks to the Midland County Republican Women about party unity make for great soundbites. But his words and his actions evoke a healthy dose of skepticism from a large number of Texas Republicans - those that support Texas independence. Frankly, it’s time for him to show that when he says “unity”, he means it.
