[size=-1]Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union (please refer to the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848).[/size]
[size=-1]We Texans love y'all, but we'll have to take action if Kerry[/size] [size=-1]wins president over Bush. We'll miss you too.[/size]
Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time to get used [size=-1]to the results. After seeing the whiners along the campaign route, the[/size] [size=-1]folks from Texas are considering taking matters into our their hands.[/size]
[size=-1]Here is our solution:[/size]
[size=-1]#1: Let John Kerry become President of the United States. (all 49 states.)[/size]
[size=-1]#2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of Texas.[/size]
[size=-1]So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?[/size]
[size=-1]1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. (we will control the space industry..)[/size]
[size=-1]2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.[/size]
[size=-1]3. Defense Industry. (we have over 65% of it) The term "Don't[/size] [size=-1]mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.[/size]
[size=-1]4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas[/size] [size=-1]will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.[/size]
5. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad [size=-1]about those northern states. John Kerry will figure a way to keep[/size] [size=-1]them warm....[/size]
[size=-1]6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing[/size] [size=-1]computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas[/size] [size=-1]Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola,[/size] [size=-1]Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas[/size] [size=-1]Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc, Etc. The list goes on and on.[/size]
7. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for [size=-1]Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in[/size] [size=-1]the world and other large health planning centers.[/size] [size=-1]8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT., Texas A&M,[/size] [size=-1]Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas[/size] [size=-1]Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the south anyway[/size]
[size=-1]9. We have a ready supply of workers. (just open the border when[/size] [size=-1]we need some more)[/size]
[size=-1]10. We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.[/size]
[size=-1]11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National[/size] [size=-1]Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army[/size] [size=-1]but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo,[/size] [size=-1]we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really[/size] [size=-1]gets bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them[/size] [size=-1]to send over a couple Texas Rangers.[/size]
[size=-1]12. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and[/size] [size=-1]several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget[/size] [size=-1]seafood from the gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so[/size] [size=-1]that they taste good. Don't need any food.[/size]
[size=-1]This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic[/size] [size=-1]of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.[/size] [size=-1]Now to the rest of the United States under President Kerry:[/size]
Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, [size=-1]only President Kerry will be able to drive around in his 9 mile[/size] [size=-1]per gallon SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or[/size] [size=-1]ride bikes.[/size]
[size=-1]You won't have any TV as the space center in Houston will cut[/size] [size=-1]off your communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat[/size] [size=-1]your homes but since Mr. Kerry has predicted global warming, you will[/size] [size=-1]not need the gas.[/size] Signed,
