Texas by its location can be more than just another republic. I can see many airlines doing transcontinental flights moving to Texas bypassing the rest of the United States if they do not have to deal with the TSA. The cost of fuel in an oil rich country would go down significantly which would benefit the airlines passing down the savings to the customers. The Tourist industry would boom because many people taking transcontinental flights might stay in Houston to go to the beach in Galveston, go to San Antonio to see the Alamo and might go to Dallas visiting Daley Plaza to see where JFK was shot. A nice stop to enjoy a couple of days of Texas hospitality .This is just one of the benefits that will happen when Texas achieves independence. What is holding Texas back? Washington DC and the control freaks in congress all the way to the White House.

               By law and treaty which the United States violated with the Annexation treaty of 1846 which was never ratified by the US Senate. When Obama tries to confiscate the guns out of the hands of Texans or declare a siege over the skies if Texas reigned in the TSA. We can see an outcry for secession and demand a political divorce from Washington DC. I believe Texas will do so much better on its own. Texas has the 10th largest economy in the world. The State is the second most populace state in America too. Texas must secede for its own survival to preserve its economic and cultural heritage. Texas is tired of the Obama White House Attacking the Texas economy which is very independent and insulated from the rest of the country. The Texas economy is still chugging along regardless were other states have theirs at a complete standstill.

               Texas is the only state that flies its flag at equal height to the American Flag because Texas is still a Republic. Not just a state. If President Obama keeps pushing Texas to the edge. If the State legislator ignores the will of the people. The people of Texas will make their own way to achieve independence. Texas should secede because the people are too independent minded and serious about preserving its historical and cultural heritage. The United States is better off without Texas and Texas is better off without the Union. If Obama keeps messing with Texas like he is doing playing dictator. Texas could spell the end to the imperial empire in Washington if the White House decides to try to conquer will be the down fall of his reign. Texas must secede for its own survival. There are no more options left. Washington is broken beyond repair.
