Please come join us Thursday, April 8, 2021 at the Texas State Capitol as supporters of the Texas Nationalist Movement from all over Texas converge on the Capitol in support of a vote on TEXIT.
We will be interacting with our individual members of the Legislature to encourage them to give Texans a vote on independence by supporting and advancing HB1359.
At 9:00 AM we will gather at the south steps of the Capitol building to break into teams before heading into representative’s offices including those of the State Affairs Committee where the bill currently resides. We recognize some will be traveling from far, so please contact the event organizer if you are unable to arrive at 9:00 AM. Progress check-in will be midday and then head back out to Senate offices.
TRAINING: We ask that all attendees participate in our exclusive training webinar before this event. This will help increase our effectiveness in the Capitol. There will be a live training on 4/5 @ 7:00 PM and a replay will be available for those who could not attend live.

was talking to someone I thought was a pretty smart guy yesterday about Texit. He told me it was a bad idea as Texas depended upon others to buy our oil and gas and was worried if the US would stop buying it as punishment of us leaving.
I could not convince him that demand was worldwide and there is no issue on us selling our oil and gas elsewhere if the US decided to do that, and we would likely get higher prices anyway as our reliability of supply was higher than a lot of others such as Venezuela or Nigeria.
Education of people is what is needed to execute Texit.
"If the Union is dissolved, I shall return to my native State, and share the miseries of the people, and save in defense will draw my sword on none" Robert E. Lee, February 1861 following hearing of Texas secession.
Quote: Isailedaway wrote in post #4Education of people is what is needed to execute Texit.
Exactly right.... there was a dunce at another site recently that gave his reasons for not support Texit, after first screaming about it being illegal....
1. There are too many Catholics and Hispanics in Texas... they are the majority now (Catholics) and soon to be majority (Hispanics).... 2. Because of that, an independent Texas would align with all of the Central and South American nations, and become a hell hole.....
With "thinking" like that, it is a real uphill climb.....

Thursday, April 8, 2021 was Capitol Action Day for the Texas Nationalist Movement. Over 100 members and leaders visited the capitol in Austin and successfully advanced HB1359, a referendum which calls for a vote on the question of Texas Independence.
The actions of the TNM at the capitol strengthened legislator support for HB1359. Some legislators finally indicated where they stood from their previous silence. Significant pressure was applied to those on the State Affairs Committee to schedule the bill for a hearing, regardless of their support. This is the next step in getting the bill to the floor of the house for a vote, and where the bill has been stalled since March 5, 2021.
HB1359 author Representative Kyle Biedermann met with members of TNM — along with other proponents of the bill — in the capitol rotunda, where he was greeted with thunderous applause and thanked for his vehement support of the TEXIT movement. He proudly led a chant for “Texit!” that echoed throughout the rotunda.
TNM Members took this opportunity to visit the offices of senators and representatives both in favor and in opposition of HB1359.
Representative Will Metcalf has been reticent publicly to show support for HB1359. Privately, he does not support the initiative that would give Texans a vote on whether we should explore Texas secession. The TNM group visited his office on April 8th to let Rep. Metcalf know his position is in jeopardy if he does not support the right of Texans to vote on this issue.
Senator Kel Seliger of Amarillo received a visit to his office, where members Travis McQueen and George Brookins voiced their disapproval of his radio rant, calling supporters of TEXIT ‘crazy’ and labeling the movement as a form of white supremacy. Imagine the shock on the faces of his staffers when the person telling them about Seliger’s opinion let it be known he is of mixed race.
