Texas Defies Obama, And Threatens Him With THIS According to recent reports, Tanya Robertson, an executive committee member for the Republican Party of Texas, is planning to introduce a resolution that will allow the states primary voters to determine whether Texas should secede from the United States. Economists have long suspected that secession could be on the table for the Lone Star State. Theres been a big groundswell of Texans that are getting into the Texas independence issue, Robertson told the Houston Chronicle. I believe conservatives in Texas should have a choice to voice their opinion. The measurement does not come without challenges, however. Robertson must convince a 12-member resolutions committee to bring it up to the full 60-member assembly. The chances that the bill will pass are slim, with only 18 percent of the states residents voting in favor of secession according to a poll conducted 6 years ago. What do you think? Could Texas secede from the United States?
