Austin, Houston and San Antonio continue to suffer difficulties stemming from the lack of civil, religious, and political freedoms imposed upon the cities by less liberally minded Texans. It is entirely feasible for Austin, Houston and San Antonio to operate as city-states, within the United States, in the event that Texas is successful in the current bid to secede. It is important for Austin, Houston and San Antonio to remain in the union as to do so would protect their citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of the founding fathers.
