Shall we all move to Texas?


.....Just a few thoughts in rebuttal for fun......

Thought you might get a kick out of this one...




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Subject: THE COUNTRY of TEXAS....



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 Barack Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.

Here is what can happen:



1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States, and Texas immediately secedes from the Union.

2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas. You might not think that he talks too pretty, but we haven't had
another terrorist attack, and the economy was fine until the effects of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came to roost.

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.
.....NASA is comprised of multiple facilities. The US stops paying big bucks to NASA Houston.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.
.....Either you sell it or you shut down when the tanks fill up.

3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.
.....Without the US Treasury to pay for it, who will?

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we
don't know. Why not ask Obama?
.....Import

5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will have to figure
out a way to keep them warm....
.....If you don't sell it, it just sits there

6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications equipment -small companies like Texas
Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor,
Dallas Semiconductor, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.
.....Who you going to sell to? We'll all be too broke to buy.

7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well
as other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone employees over 65,000 people.
.....Medicare won't pay foreign entities

8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter: University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas Christian, Rice, SMU, University of Dallas, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT (University of North Texas), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.
.....yup

9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force, and it isn't restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas, it's a Right to Work
State and, therefore, it's every man and women for themselves. We just go out and get the job done. And if we don't like the way one
company operates, we get a job somewhere else.
.....ok

10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance industries, etc.
.....Can't sell insurance in a foreign country.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and several military bases. 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 the Texas Rangers.
.....You'll have to take over the Border Patrol and Immigration duties along the Rio Grande. Or leave it to be an open border.

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.
.....yup

13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States, and twenty-three of the 100 largest cities in the United States, are located in
Texas. And Texas also has more land than California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and Vermont combined.
14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are located in Texas.
.....Don't know if this is good or bad.

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You see, nothing rusts in Texas, so our vehicles stay beautiful and run
well for decades.
.....Export them to Mexico, maybe?

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.
.....It would be quite an adjustment.

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 w ill take to get enough heat from Global Warming. So, in other words, you've screwed yourselves.

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!!
