Statement from Daniel Miller on Amazon's Shadowban of the TEXIT Book

For nearly six weeks, Amazon effectively shadowbanned TEXIT: Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union. After the publisher and distributor, Defiance Press, investigated the irregularities and challenged Amazon to explain itself, TNM President and the book's author, Daniel Miller, released the following statement.

I am deeply concerned and angered by what has come to light. The irregularities strongly indicate a political motive and a sustained attempt to kill this book. The Texas Nationalist Movement is no stranger to efforts to muzzle our message. This year alone we have dealt with Facebook hiding our posts and suspending our advertising, and with Twitter repeatedly stripping followers from our accounts, and those efforts intensified after the book's release.

This is nothing less than a systematic attempt to end any discussion of the brokenness of the federal system and any rational case for restoring self-government to the people of Texas. Amazon's virtual book burning cannot stand unchallenged. We have consulted legal counsel, we intend to support whatever action Defiance Press takes, and we will continue to rally our supporters every time their ability to organize and speak is threatened.

Amazon is only the latest technology giant to believe it can put a muzzle on the Texas Nationalist Movement. It has forgotten the words of Sam Houston: “Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.”
