It might be time to move to Texas!

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action since Barack Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.

Here is what can happen:

1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States , and Texas
immediately secedes from the Union .

2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas . You
might not think that he talks too pretty, but we haven't had another
terrorist attack, and the economy was fine until the effects of the
Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans
Came to roost.

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 computer 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 women 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.

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.

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.

So, in other words, go screw yourselves. Oh, that's right. You already have!

Signed, The People of Texas

P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something
to think about!

SLEEP WELL TONIGHT. THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!
