As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
Since the constitutional bounds restraining federal authority have clearly been broken, it is incumbent upon the people of Texas to demand a separation from federal authority and a return to governance of the people, by the people, and for the people of Texas.
