Texas Senate Votes For Secession.
Passing by a two vote margin, the Texas Senate voted today to secede from the Union. Senate Leader Robert Duncan (R-Lubbock), in a statement after the vote, said "The day is soon coming when we will no longer be subservient to an out of touch federal government. The great state of Texas will soon be the great nation of Texas- God's favored nation above all others".

I remembered today was 4/1 and I clicked on this anyway.

I wonder if there's a way we could mandate them to secede against their will.

8. To bad it's not an April Fool
Cause if they did try to secede they would need to reimburse the USA for the cost of all the protection and services they received from the USA. As well as value of the land.

10. The Legis is not in session
No true Texan can sleep soundly when the Texas legislature is in Session. We only let these idiots meet every two years and then for a limited amount of time.
