Texas is my girl.
Texas's Capitol is a replica of the National monument...But 15ft taller.
The National Energy grid is split into three sections: Eastern states, Western states, and TEXAS.
Texas is still considered its own republic. It is the only state that can honorably fly it's flag as high as the American flag.
Texas can split into 8 states.
The lone star means, "We don't need fifty states, we're good with just the one."
Rick Perry has had more people killed during his time in office, than any other modern governor.
In Texas when you get out of prison, you are still supposed to be able to request and receive a gun and a horse upon release.

Also. THIS petition was recently made (and received over 100,000 signatures) for the secession of Texas:
"Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government"

I always said. "If the president says Texans can secede. We will want to secede. If the president says Texans can't secede. We will want to secede"
Then the president responded to the petition with this

Petition Response: Our States Remain United
By Jon Carson, Director of the Office of Public Engagement
Thank you for using the White House's online petitions platform to participate in your government.
In a nation of 300 million people -- each with their own set of deeply-held beliefs -- democracy can be noisy and controversial. And that's a good thing. Free and open debate is what makes this country work, and many people around the world risk their lives every day for the liberties we often take for granted.
But as much as we value a healthy debate, we don't let that debate tear us apart.
Our founding fathers established the Constitution of the United States "in order to form a more perfect union" through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. They enshrined in that document the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot -- a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it. As President Abraham Lincoln explained in his first inaugural address in 1861, "in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual." In the years that followed, more than 600,000 Americans died in a long and bloody civil war that vindicated the principle that the Constitution establishes a permanent union between the States. And shortly after the Civil War ended, the Supreme Court confirmed that "[t]he Constitution, in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union composed of indestructible States."
Although the founders established a perpetual union, they also provided for a government that is, as President Lincoln would later describe it, "of the people, by the people, and for the people" -- all of the people. Participation in, and engagement with, government is the cornerstone of our democracy. And because every American who wants to participate deserves a government that is accessible and responsive, the Obama Administration has created a host of new tools and channels to connect concerned citizens with White House. In fact, one of the most exciting aspects of the We the People platform is a chance to engage directly with our most outspoken critics.
So let's be clear: No one disputes that our country faces big challenges, and the recent election followed a vigorous debate about how they should be addressed. As President Obama said the night he won re-election, "We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future."
Whether it's figuring out how to strengthen our economy, reduce our deficit in a responsible way, or protect our country, we will need to work together -- and hear from one another -- in order to find the best way to move forward. I hope you'll take a few minutes to learn more about the President's ideas and share more of your own."

The way Texas started is this:
Stephen F. Austin was allowed by the Mexican government to bring 300 families from America to Mexico. These 300 families moved to a region of Mexico known as "Tejas", when they first arrived they were known as "Texians" and were given 1 single cannon by the Mexican government to defend themselves from Indian and raids, etc.
But then the Texians started inviting their families. Their siblings, parents, grandparents. EVERYONE was coming to Tejas, and the Mexican government was like: "This isn't what we agreed." So they asked the Texans for their cannon back... The Texans decided to KEEP the cannon, and the first Texas state flag was made

Then the Mexican army attacked, Santa Ana killed everyone at the Alamo. Then the battle of San Jacinto happened, it was like 15 minutes long, but that battle caused the Mexican army to retreat across the Rio Grande back into Mexico and won us the war.
......
This was the Texas COUNTRY boundaries before we signed ourselves into "The Union".
......
Texas has been planning to sustain itself from the beginning. We only USE foreign bought oil, and we STORE all of the oil we drill out of Texas soil.
And there are THREE main energy grids in the United States... The East Coast Interconnection, The West Coast Interconnection and TEXAS (or "ERCOT")
