Christians will never again experience the freedoms they once did, nor will States ever again enjoy the republican form of government and rights to self determination while remaining part of this corrupt Union.
There are many independence movements in Texas and some are not worth considering. But there is one that stands out as a logical, well-thought-out movement all Christians should become a part of. Texas can be the first domino of many to fall if we will concentrate our efforts in restoring her status as an independent nation instead of languishing the way we are now, hoping for a conservative President to arise someday.
Christians deserve a country where they can be assured the public schools will be true centers of learning rather than indoctrination centers run by leftists, where they never fear an activist Supreme Court legislating from the bench by forcing churches to accept the gay agenda, where local communities run their own affairs and decide for themselves on whether or not to have prayer in school or religious expressions on public land.
This is not a joke , friends. This is simply history repeating itself. History is on the side of freedom and self-determination. We owe to ourselves, to our posterity, the Framers and to God to preserve Christian American values, even if it is in a geographically smaller area.
And this post only covers the moral and religious reasons for independence. We have not even discussed the huge financial advantages separation from the USA will bring.

As a native born Texan, I am definitely sympathetic to the idea of secession and independence. In fact, a a LOT of native born Texans are (you would actually be surprised, I know I was when I began to actually talk to ordinary folks here and there about this subject...) but there are two problems:
1. As much as Texans think of themselves as Texans, they also think of themselves as Americans. In fact, it has always been this way (it's why Union took place so soon and so easily after Independence). The idea of secession inevitably brings up the question of 'Are we ceasing to be AMERICANS?' Most Texans are not willing to go that far, in my opinion.
2. The state is currently being overrun with carpetbaggers and illegals. All the major cities are liberal police state utopias, especially the capital, Austin. Texas, if secession came to the fore, would be like Kansas in the 1850s-1860s - split right down the line with neighbors on either side of the same street opposed to one another. Until there is a consensus among the citizens, Texas will never secede. And at the current rate, consensus cannot be obtained on any issue whatsoever, due to the mass importation of non-Texans and their east coast/west coast/south of the border 'values'.
In all honesty, there simply will not be a political solution of any kind possible to the mess this nation is in, until a spiritual solution is found. And it can be done, it has been done before in history. I believe that at some point it will be done again, but
until that happens, it's only downhill to the abyss (which has no bottom).
