Daniel Miller, President of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), was the featured speaker at a recent event in Port Lavaca, Texas. The gathering was organized by the Republican Party of Calhoun County. The event was particularly noteworthy as it coincided with the anniversary of the Battle of Gonzales, a significant milestone in Texas history that symbolizes resistance and independence. The timing added a layer of historical context to the ongoing discussions about Texas independence, a cause that the TNM has been actively championing.

The Port Lavaca event attracted one of the larger crowds the host has seen recently. This high attendance level indicates the growing interest and support for the cause of Texas independence. The atmosphere was energetic, with attendees showing a high level of engagement with the topics discussed. This enthusiasm was demonstrated by the significant number of signatures added to the TEXIT petition during the event. The petition aims to secure a referendum on Texas independence and has been a focal point of TNM’s advocacy efforts.

While the overwhelming majority of attendees were supportive of the cause, the event was not without its skeptics. One attendee asked about the broader implications of Texas independence, specifically expressing concern for “our brothers and sisters in other states.” Daniel Miller addressed this concern directly. He argued that by successfully achieving independence, Texas could serve as a viable model for other states contemplating similar paths. Miller further elaborated that if other states fail to act and the federal government continues on its current trajectory, Texas could offer a place that upholds the principles of individual rights, liberties, and the rule of law.

The event was an excellent opportunity to bring the ongoing dialogue about Texas independence to Calhoun County. With its large turnout and the considerable number of TEXIT petition signatures gathered, the event honored Texas’ rich history and galvanized support for its potential future as an independent state. The questions and discussions that arose also provided valuable insights into the concerns and aspirations of those interested in the independence movement.
