Yes, I would. We don't have the ability to sustain ourselves without being attached to the federal government.
This country is the of its citizens, not some subset of them. Thats the moral justification.
Never has been and still isn't.
But it doesn't matter. The Fed govt and Northern States do not go by the Constitution unless it benefited them. The South was right Constitutionally, but the North showed us that didn't matter. And it won't matter now either.

States gave up their sovereignty when they joined the Union. See the Constitution for State restrictions.

Dude, just secede. We don't ****ing want Texas anyway. Seriously. We'll take Puerto Rico or something as our 50th star.
See ya.
Your not paying attention very well. The Federal govt. is not going to let anyone secede. It doesn't matter about legal or Constitution.
Quantrill
Say what? The national government is a leech upon the productive capacity of this country. We would be far better off without it.
That's cute. Where exactly are we going to get the resources, agriculture, and production to sustain 25.6 million people?
It doesn't all come from Texas. In fact, very little of what we have is made "in house". We just going to magically build an economy and industry out of nowhere? Poof, out of thin air... not happening bro, because the second we secede, all support from our neighboring states is out. That also means no help from the Border Patrol and US Customs, no TSA, just to see family or friends that live in another state, you'll need a passport. Texas would sink faster than Exxon-Valdez. I don't want that, I don't think you do, either. Secession is stupid. We need to be working with our neighbors, instead of thinking **** everyone else because we're the BEST OF ALL TIME EVAR!!!11!!!!!! because we're not. We rely on the US just as much as they rely on us.
I'm sure we'll all agree. You can't stop the will of the people. Texas wants to secede and the people of America don't like Texas anyway. It's a ****hole of a state that always does embarrassing, redneck, bull**** things. The butthole of America can leave at any point, in my opinion.
No, it comes from other states, who will not support us, if we secede. Millions of jobs will be lost, because a majority of jobs come from companies that aren't founded in Texas. Say goodbye to the majority of our refineries, including all related subdivisions, because those belong to other states, and countries. Not to mention retail outlets, franchises, and other big businesses we use to maintain our economy, and give people jobs. We'll be completely destitute in a matter of months.You think that comes from the government?
I'm talking about the Union states. If you think they're going to continue doing business with us after a secession, you're living in a cloud.You think that the US government actually produces something? The government cannot do anything unless it first steals wealth from the populace.

If they go, I wish they would take their sister states, Arizona and both Carolina's. Would be a healthier America.

Yeah, because we're all beer swilling rednecks :roll:

Oh yay, small business will save us by producing a fraction of the resources we require. As I said, it's not about the government, it's about nobody in the union doing business with us.Chicken Little, I think the sky is falling. :lol: You don't think private companies would come in and take over those oil refineries? Where do you think the money comes from to run businesses? The government just doles out wealth and we are the happy recipients? This is hilarious.
Hooray, we get BP... if they continue business with us. I don't know if you've noticed this, but the world has changed a lot since the 1860's.Lol, because England never did business with us after we seceded. This is some great stuff.
Another good theory that wouldn't work out as advertised if attempted in real life.I see the federal government as a voluntary compact among a group of sovereign states. If any state wishes to leave, they can. The people of the other 49 states are not the owners of Texas.
