Texas Secession Looms As "Independence Resolution" Nears Vote
• Zero HedgeOn Wednesday, the Platform Committee of the Texas Republican Party voted to put a Texas independence resolution up for a vote at this week's GOP convention, according to a press release from the pro-secession Texas Nationalist Movement. The resolution calls for allowing voters to decide whether the Lone Star State should become an independent nation.
Texas was, in fact, its own country for nine years before joining the United States in 1845, and while the idea of returning to independence has never been taken seriously by most people, it remains popular as a romantic notion and marketing hook. Lone Star beer is the "national beer of Texas." Texas Monthly is the "national magazine of Texas." In a 2009 rally, then-Gov. Rick Perry hinted that the state could secede if "Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people." He later backed off the idea. (Representatives of the state GOP and Texas Nationalist Movement could not be reached for comment.)

The Texas secession will never work while they are using Federal Reserve Notes. The U.S. Government will force the FED to stop issuing Ferns to them, and for FED banks to pull out of Texas. But if Texas starts making its own money, there will be war with the U.S. Besides, most Texans will stick with Ferns making secession nearly impossible in reality. Why? Because they aren't used to anything else. New Texas funny money will throw the Texas economy all out of balance.
