In James Bickerton’s article from Newsweek, a political shift in Texas is highlighted as 10 newly elected Republicans have committed to supporting a referendum on independence. These representatives, who have signed our “Texas First Pledge,” signal a clear change in the Lone Star State’s political landscape—a change that Bickerton aptly describes as a “revolution.”

The article understates the growing momentum behind our movement. It cites a Newsweek poll indicating that, while only 33% currently support secession, a majority would vote to remain in the United States if a referendum were held today. These numbers, while informative, do not capture the underlying currents of dissatisfaction with the federal government’s overreach and the enduring spirit of self-determination that has always characterized Texans. Our aim is not merely theoretical; it is practical and grounded in historical precedent. The Republic of Texas thrived as an independent nation from 1836 to 1846, a legacy we aim to resurrect with a modern approach.

Bickerton notes our recent electoral achievements, which we see as a repudiation of the false narratives suggesting that support for TEXIT hinders electability. These victories showcase that advocating for Texan independence is not political suicide but rather a reflection of a grassroots desire for sovereignty.

While the article touches on the challenges ahead, such as skepticism about the plausibility of peaceful secession articulated by Joshua Blank, it misses the depth of our strategy. Our focus extends beyond a mere referendum. We are actively developing policies on border security, currency, and governance to make the transition to independence as seamless as possible.

In summary, this article underscores the undeniable momentum and commitment among Texans to chart our own course. As we push forward, the message is clear: Texas is poised to reclaim its independent status, and with each legislative victory, we inch closer to our goal of full political, cultural, and economic independence.
