The Texas Nationalist Movement and TEXIT supporters have a crucial opportunity to take a significant step towards Texas independence by rallying behind HJR146.

In recent years, the dangers of federal overreach related to currency have become increasingly apparent. The United States government has been pushing for implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which could pose significant threats to the financial independence and economic autonomy of individual states, particularly Texas.

A CBDC would further centralize control of the federal currency, undermining the economic sovereignty of states like Texas. It could allow the federal government to exert undue influence over the financial affairs of individuals and businesses, leading to privacy concerns, the possibility of government surveillance, and restricted economic freedoms.

This bill is vital to the TNM’s mission, as it seeks to amend the Texas Bill of Rights to protect the financial autonomy of Texans. By doing so, it paves the way for a self-governing independent nation and strengthens our ability to resist federal overreach in financial matters.

HJR146 proposes the following changes to the Texas Bill of Rights:

“The right of the people to own, hold, and use a mutually agreed upon medium of exchange, including cash, coin, bullion, digital currency, or privately issued script, when trading and contracting for goods and services shall not be infringed. No government shall prohibit or encumber the ownership or holding of any form or amount of money or other currency.”

This bill is essential for the TNM and TEXIT supporters because it guarantees the people of Texas the right to decide on their preferred medium of exchange. By doing so, it promotes economic self-determination, which is a cornerstone of the movement for Texas independence. Furthermore, the bill safeguards Texans from potential federal government attempts to control or manipulate the state’s monetary system, ensuring that our financial future remains in our hands.
