The Country of TEXAS

THE COUNTRY of TEXAS




In case things get a little tough after Jan...


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.

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. What will the other states do? Gee, we don't
Know.

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....

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,
Norte l, Alcatel, etc, etc.

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.

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.

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.

10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics, and insurance
Industries.

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.

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.

13. Three of the ten largest citi es 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.

15. We also manufacture cars down here...but we don't need to. Nothing rusts in Texas, so our trucks last for decades.



Now to the rest of the United States:

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 a s 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.

So, in other words, go screw yourselves. Oh, that's right. You already
have!

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!!

Bush is a moron. You guys can have him, he'll f*** up your economy too.
