An Open Letter from the People of Texas

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

THE COUNTRY of TEXAS

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. We will control the space industry.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States .

3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't know. Why not ask Obama?

5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will have to figure out a way to keep them warm....

6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing compute chips and communications equipment -small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.

7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone employees over 65,000 people.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter: University of Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU, University of Dallas , University of Houston , Baylor, UNT (University of North Texas), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.

9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force, and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas, it's a Right to Work State and, therefore, it's every man and woman for themselves. We just go out and get the job done. And if we don't like the way one company operates, we get a job somewhere else.

10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance industries, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and several military bases. We don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States , and twenty-three of the 100 largest cities in the United States , are located in Texas . And Texas also has more land than California , New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland , Rhode Island and Vermont combined.

14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are located in Texas .

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You see, nothing rusts in Texas , so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well for decades, well most of the time.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.

Signed, The People of Texas

I want my oil money as a native Texan!

Could you imagine if you split all the ppl who wanted big gov. and the ppl who wanted less gov. It would be funny to watch the big govs start eating each other.

You shouldn't have left. Texas will be the next superpower.

When Texas secedes, will you stand in line for a green card? Or whatever they plan to call it.

That's just ridiculous....

If Texas operated consulates in the United States, do you think they'd let you bring firearms inside? I know American consulates don't let you do that but this is Texas we're talking about.

That's just ridiculous....

Why? Are you opposed to the right to self-determination? The UN says it's a human right.

I am not a freeloader with my hand out. I would just have to show my resume.

So you wouldn't take your .45 to the consulate? I am confused.

California and Mexico will starve Texas. No more feed grain from the Midwest. Mexico and Louisiana have already overfished the Gulf. Good luck getting past your perennial drought in one half the state, and floods in the other half. Who is going to work the farms and ranches when you boot the Mexs? You can't eat oil.

Aren't their oil supplies declining anyway? I believe they had peak oil in the 70s

No no, I would bring the .45 to protect us when the failed socialist wannbe's try to invade. when their ideas of granduer fails.

But why wouldn't a country founded on the principles of rugged individualism allow people to bring guns into their consulates?

Would that happen before or after the green jobs have been created? By the way, ####### is a green job? I think Texas might be able to trade a few barrels for some food. Especially if oil was goin fer 700 a barrel.
