This Is A Must Read For Texans And Texans At Heart
This was a very interesting and informative book about the reasons for and path to Texas and Texans taking control back from a bloated, inefficient, power hungry Federal Government. Highly recommend it.
If you're a Texan, this is a must read! It poses the haunting question: "If Texas were already an independent nation, given what I know about the federal government, would I vote to join the union?"
Would you?
Given 1) that the United States are no longer acting like a federative republic, 2) that the Tenth Amendment, and the concept of limited, enumerated federal powers have been stripped of all meaning, 3) that the federal government and its army of bureaucrats now have virtually unlimited power, 4) that the national debt is out of control and our grandchildren will suffer for it, 5) that most Texas don’t support the U.S.’s wild spending and social programs, I don't think I would vote to join the union.
But, would you like the right to vote on a referendum for self-government? Daniel Miler's fact-based, even-handed analysis will help you make that decision. If you're a Texan, this is a must read!
To begin, Daniel Miller explains in clear and understandable language exactly what it meant by the term TEXIT. Which in summary is the process by which the state of Texas will reassert itself as a free and independent nation. He addresses the question of how the United States got to a point where Texans must consider the option of leaving the Union. He covers in detail and debunks the pundits objections to the legality of such a move. The book outlines the framework of how Texas will exit the Union and become a completely independent, and free republic again. There are challenges that must be addressed, but Miller addresses each in detail and provides a clear path for the Republic of Texas to rise among the free nations of the world again.
Texians (Mexican & Texans) are proud of thier sacrifices and live's given to gain their Freedom and Independence from tryanical Mexico;(March 2, 1836, to February 19, 1846).
Daniel MIller clearly explains in great detail how Texians, will reclaim it back. Fear is squelched from the knowledge that you will gain. Action will become automatically determined once you decide to WIN. Read, join and unite with TEXIT. 193 states around the world have determined to break away (since WWII) and have already become a country. WHY NOT TEXAS?
This is a great book. Both informative and a bit entertaining. It answered many questions about Texas, our History and laws written in favor of the Texas citizens, while embracing the delightful, unique Texas culture.
Excellent rundown on the how and why Texas will leave the Union. Daniel Miller breaks down all the myths, and then debunks them. This book shows the way to work toward peacefully and legally obtaining Texas Independence.
Wonderful that was well written. Daniel Miller lays out a great and clear path for an Independent TEXAS. Wonderful read that my 15 and 18 year old children even enjoyed.
