The sixth plank of the Chattanooga declaration states, “The States of the American union are and of right ought to be, free and self-governing.”

Look at the facts:

If the votes of the Southern states in Congress are examined, the laws would be different.

1. The Immigration Reform Act of 1965 would not have passed (Ted Kennedy co-authored this ill that began the illegal immigration flood.)

2. The Immigration Reform Act of 1986 would not have been passed.

3. The Brady Bill would not have passed.

4. The Assault Weapons ban would not have passed.

5. The Constitutional amendment that attempted allowing prayer in school would have passed.

6. A Constitutional Amendment that would have let States decide their own abortion laws would have passed (and the blood of 20+million innocents would not be on the hands of the empire).

7. Congress would have put limits on Federal Courts to not allow them to hear bussing cases.

8. The Balanced Budget Amendment would have passed.

From this list, if the Southern States were allowed to conduct their own business, things would be very different now. Now if the other States want to pass gun bans, remove prayer and have abortions, they would likewise be able to do so.

Legally, the States should be free. Many of the original States included clauses that would allow them to leave if they chose to do so. The freedom to leave (secede) along with the freedom to nullify the federal laws exists on the books, although no one has had the fortitude to exercise those rights recently. The South left, and discovered that the voluntary Union was not so voluntary after all. When the South was defeated militarily ALL the States lost freedoms. The legal right to be free is still on the books, although it will take Courage to exercise that right. These issues are even more important as the North American Union looms. Can the States opt out of the North American Union? The answer is yes. Will the leaders of the States be willing to exercise those rights? That is yet to be seen.

How does this apply to Texas? If we just limit the discussion about the right to be free to Texas there are several things to consider. Due to the illegal acts and deception involved in annexation, there is legal justification to proclaim its annexation illegal. The illegalites occurred in the US Congress and in the Texas Congress. Neither Congress had the authority to approve a treaty, even though they did so (Only the Senate can approve treaties according to the Constitution). The vote to join the Union was not a free one, since thousands of United States troops were on Texas soil and monitoring the polls. When armed troops of another nation are on your soil, it is not a “free” vote. It is a vote of intimidation and coercion.

The Empire maintains a state of fear on the population and exercises its authority on a de jour basis, yet the legally legitimate authority rests with the Republic of Texas since that was the last government selected in a free vote by the eligible voters of Texas. The attitude of the Feds is one of “well, we did it, we are in control and what are you going to do about it?”

Texas has a legal right to be free, it is not a false claim. It is legitimate claim to the legal right to be free.

Free the South!

Free Texas!
