Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right
>> to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American
>> Annexation Treaty of 1848.)
>>
>>
>>
>> We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to
>> take action since B. Hussein Obama won the election.
>> We'll miss you too.
>>
>>
>>
>> Here is what can happen:
>>
>>
>>
>> #1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United
>> States , Texas immediately secedes from the Union .
>>
>>
>>
>> #2: George W. Bush will become the President of the
>> Republic of Texas .
>>
>>
>>
>> So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?
>>
>>
>>
>> 1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We will control
>> the space industry.
>>
>>
>>
>> 2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States
>> .
>>
>>
>>
>> 3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term
>> "Don't mess with Texas ," will take on a whole
>> new meaning.
>>
>>
>>
>> 4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of
>> Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states?
>> Sorry about that.
>>
>>
>>
>> 5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too
>> bad about those Northern States. John Kerry will have to
>> figure out a way to keep them warm....
>>
>>
>>
>> 6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in
>> producing computer chips and communications--small companies
>> like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon,
>> National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied
>> Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi,
>> Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.
>>
>>
>>
>> 7. Medical Care - We have the largest research centers for
>> cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma
>> units in the world, as well as other large health centers.
>> Dallas has some of the best hospitals in the United States .
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> 8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: University of
>> Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of
>> Houston , Baylor, UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas
>> Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South
>> anyway.
>>
>>
>>
>> 9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open
>> the border when we need some more.
>>
>>
>>
>> 10. We have essential control of the paper industry,
>> plastics, insurance, etc.
>>
>>
>>
>> 11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas
>> National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We
>> don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at
>> least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in
>> 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad,
>> we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask
>> them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas
>> Rangers.
>>
>>
>>
>> 12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs,
>> and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and
>> let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody
>> down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good.
>> Don't need any food.
>>
>>
>>
>> This just names a few of the items that will keep the
>> Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing
>> out there that we need and don't have.
>>
>>
>>
>> Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your
>> cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in
>> his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have
>> to walk or ride bikes.
>>
>>
>>
>> You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston
>> will cut off satellite communications.
>>
>>
>>
>> You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but
>> since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not
>> need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will
>> take to get enough heat from Global Warming.
>>

>>
>> Signed, The People of Texas

>>
>>
>> P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give
>> you something to think about!
>>
>>
>>
>> SLEEP WELL TONIGHT THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!

>> One Nation Under God
