Two Parties Support Texas Independence

Coppell TX

Description

Just look at these party platforms: https://texasgop.org/platform/ 33 page pdf, platform 65 is on page 7. 65. State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States should a future president and congress change our political system from a constitutional republic to any other system. The Texas Libertarian Party, in their platform (www.lptexas.org/platform) advocates Texas Independence. Right on their last page of their platform, section IV.1.c. Texas Independence states: "LPTexas fully supports the rights of the people to alter their form of government. As the U.S. federal government is increasingly expanding its influence well beyond its Constitutional authority and clearly violating citizens’ rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, the right of the people of Texas to alter their form of government, as stated in Article I Section 2 of the Texas Constitution, must be acknowledged by allowing Texans to have an honest and frank discussion on the merits of independence and being allowed to vote accordingly to reassert Texas' independence."
