Today I feel like Texas is not a part of the United States.<\/p>\n
Therefore I can skip a lot of rules that have been in place for over a century and a half.<\/p>\n
I do not have to obey the rules of the United States or its leaders.<\/p>\n
I do not expect anything from the United States.<\/p>\n
I do not expect the United States to interfere in any way with what we do in Texas.<\/p>\n
I do not expect to owe the United States anything.<\/p>\n
I have felt this way for some time—now we are inadvertently validated to act on this feeling, held by many Texans.<\/p>\n
And, contrary to the absurdity of the “advisory” mandate today from the administration in Washington to all public school districts, this feeling in Texas is based on common sense, necessity, and freedom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, I here voice all my support to the good governors of Texas and North Carolina for working together against the disasters the United States is forcing on us.<\/p>\n
We will not take it anymore.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
