allow the State of Texas to secede from the United States of America and create its own federal government,

Whereas the United States was founded 236 years ago based on Judeo-Christian principles of a belief in one God, in family units that are headed by one man and one woman who are legally, morally, and spiritually bound together through the institution of marriage, in having the opportunity to succeed through hard work and self-sacrifice, in sound fiscal policies established and followed by those who govern them, and in caring for ourselves and each other rather that relying on inefficient and overbearing government bureaucracies to do so, We The People of the State of Texas, seeing a major shift away from all of the above-stated beliefs by those currently in positions of authority in the United States Federal Government, do hereby request to secede and form our own Federal government.
