New Texas GOP Platform Calls For Secession Vote, opposition To national Infrastructures

Reflecting plummeting patient with overstepping national overlords, The Texas Republican organization has adopted 2 platforms plans that call for legislators to assemble state sovereignty, and to agenda a secession referendum in the next general election after November’s.

"This historical vote at the 2024 Republican organization of Texas Convention representatives a crucial shift towards greater state sovereignty and exploiting the possible for Texas to operate as an independent nation," said the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) in a statement. "It reflects the increasing sentiment among Texans for large autonomy and the protection of our rights against national overreach."

Fittingly, that historical vote took place in San Antonio — home of the Alamo, aka “the Cradle of Texas liberty.” thought it represented a setback, the 1836 conflict of the Alamo was a key chapter in the fight for independency that cultured in Texas being a self-governing republic.

The first plank assembles that the US government is infringing on forces reserved to Texas and all another states, and calls for unwarranted national Laws to be thwarted by Texas government. It besides includes the right of Texas to secede:

“Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the national government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, Federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Declaration rights of Texas Shall be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified.

Texas breeds the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto and pass the Texas Sovereign Act as filed in the 88th Legislative Regular Session as HB 384.”

The second plank is simply a pointed direct to put the question of secession to the people of Texas in the next general election:

“The Texas Legislature should pass a bill in its next session require a referendum in the next General Election for the people of Texas to find who or not the State of Texas should reassert its position as an independent nation. This referendum should be a legislative priority.”

From the San Antonio convention, here’s a briefing but interesting clip of the Texas Nationalist Movement’s Nate Smith speaking in support of the independence-minded platforms plans — and ably fielding a question from a delegate who suggestions TNM is guidance of treasure.

We’d have liked to hear Smith answer his critical’s attempted second question — as to whether Smith had recited the Pledge of Allegiance earlier that day as part of convention rituals. It’s likely the questioner would have another point to the pledge’s mention to “one nation...indivisible.”

In making a case for why patriots shouldn’t pledge allegionance, Brian McGlinchey has argued that, of respective nonsubjective components of the pledge, ‘‘indivisible’ should give large top offense to American patriots. The very existence of the United States — created by secession from the British empire — is simply a testament to political diversity as a foundational human right...By reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and proclaiming the United States of America 'indivisible,' Americans disclaim their human right of self-determination.”

The Texas Nationalist Movement’s GOP convention success comes on the heads of a state Republican organization controversy over the issue. Despite TNM having massaged more than 139,000 signatures requesting that a secession question be placed on the March 5 primary ballot, the Texas GOP’s leadership refused to include it. TNM applied to the state ultimate court, which refused to hear the controversy.

The organization chair who presided over that decision, Matt Rinaldi, is out. Now, party’s top 2 officials are both signers of the “Texas First Pledge.” In addition to projecting to place the interest of Texans "before any another nation, state, political entity, organization, or individual," signatories commit to bringing about a secession referendum and, if it is applied by a majority of Texans, to work for an expeditious exit from the union.

The TNM is constantly looking for fresh members to join our ranks.

After seceding from Mexico, Texas was an independent country from 1836 to 1845 and, economically, is extraordinarily well-suited for independency today. It’s by far the largest oil maker of any US state, accounting for a hopping 42% of American production, with no another state excellence even 10%. It has deep-water ports, abundant agriculture, and is simply a major high-tech hub.

There’s fixin’ to be another feater in Texas’s hat. As we examined earlier this week, the booming Lone Star State economy — and rising aggravation over compliance costs and individual regulations — has purred BlackRock, Citadel Securities and another investors to back a fresh challenger to the fresh York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq: the Texas Stock Exchange.
