Here comes ‘TEXIT.”
According to a Daily Wire report, Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton filed a bill on Monday at the state legislature that would allow Texans to vote on whether or not the Lone Star State should secede from the U.S.
“All political power rests in the People of Texas, and they deserve to have an opportunity to make their voice heard about the future of Texas,” Slaton says.
From The Daily Wire:
Slaton officially filed the Texas Independence Referendum Act in the Texas House of Representatives, which would place a referendum on the ballot asking residents to determine the state’s future by exploring whether or not lawmakers should establish a commission to investigate the feasibility of Texas seceding from the Union and provide further recommendations to the state legislature.
…
The latest bill filed in the state legislature comes off the heels of one of the largest grassroots nationalist movements in Texas that have long pushed for the southern state to become a sovereign nation.
The Texas Nationalist Movement, a cohort of approximately 440,000 Texans from across the political spectrum, has been leading the charge of the so-called “TEXIT” coalition to gain independence from the federal government since its inception in 2005.
