| HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TEXAS!!!!!!!!!! |
| 2009-03-02 |
| The Texas Declaration of Independence was the formal declaration of independence of the Republic of Texas from Mexico in the Texas Revolution. It was adopted at the Convention of 1836 at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 2, 1836, and formally signed the following day after errors were noted in the text. |

| #14 Don't worry Trader, if they can't ride and/or shoot, they must be liberals, and they can't stay in Texas. |

| #11 Well, yes, TD - that is one of those myriad kinks that would have to be sorted out. And yes, Barbara - I'll put a dib on some nice property near Fredericksburg for you - although some of the other little towns are very pleasant, like Comfort and Stonewall. Not this year, so much - it's been horribly dry this winter, and there is hardly any green at all. I don't see us getting much in the way of wildflowers, and many of the creeks were all but dry. |

| #10 This is what Texas looked when the treaty was signed. So if Texas went back to being its own Republic, would these other states be allowed to be a part of the Republic? I am sure most would. The "Disputed Area" was claimed by Mexico. |

| #9 No, Texas has the right to divide into five states. Although one might up being the inapprorpiately named state of Austin. |

| #7 I've got distant cousins in the San Antone (San Antonio to y'all) area. But I 'spect I'd be willing to move down there regardless, if Texas decides to become a Republic again. Don't mess with Texas! :-D |

| #4 Seriously, more and more people that I talk to here in San Antonio are kicking around the notion... kind of half-joking, but kind of half-not. There's a lot of details to be worked out, of course - a practically infinite list, like what would happen to all the federal military bases. And would we have to get passports to go to California to visit relatives? The last time Texas had a go at secession, with that spot of bother after the 1860 election - that did not turn out at all well. Which is why it is half a joke. Whether it ever becomes serious matter for discussion depends upon how badly the One screws up the Federal government, of course |

| #2 The only state that joined the Union by Treaty. I live in Texas. Time to pull the Treaty out of the file cabinet and see if we can become our own country again. If so, yawl come on down. The front porch light is always on. |
