Quotes you can run
Verbatim, attributable quotes from Daniel Miller, cleared for publication and free to use with attribution. For current comment, contact the Communications Office.
“The people of Texas are tired of living under 180,000 pages of federal laws, administered by 440 separate federal agencies and 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats.”
“The people of Texas sent a clear message: Texas independence isn't a slogan, it's our future.”
“The Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government.”
“The vast majority of Texans — 66 percent, according to SurveyUSA — support Texas independence. That is not 66 percent of Republicans only. That is 66 percent of Texans.”
“It is clear that the Republican Party of Texas is grasping for any tactic, no matter how ridiculous, to suppress the voices of Republican voters who merely want their voices heard on this fundamental issue of governance.”
