A local lawmaker has proposed legislation that would allow Texans to vote on becoming an independent republic.

Representative Kyle Bidermann, the author of the bill, returned our call. We covered a lot of ground. Here’s what he had to say about the bill and about his experience in Washington D.C. the day of the insurrection.

The Referendum for Texas Independence is proposed by State Representative Kyle Biedermann out of Fredericksburg.

“There's a lot of misunderstanding about my bill, and it's not a bill for Texas, secession is what the media and so many other people are reporting,” Biedermann said to us. “This is a bill to let Texans vote on the future of Texas.”

On a website gathering signatures, the legislation is called “Texit”

“You're saying this is not a bill that would ultimately allow for a discussion of secession,” Simone De Alba asked the representative.

“Well, of course it would, ultimately, but that's a five-year plan at least,” Biedermann said. “And who does not want to have a discussion about the future of our country, the future of our state?”

This morning I sent the following to every Texan in my address book and would suggest that you do the same.

Friends and relatives, with this message I seek to bring to your attention two very important pieces of legislation already filed for consideration this legislative session by the Texas legislature.
 
HB 1359 https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/HB01359I.pdf#navpanes=0  would allow the people of Texas to vote on whether or not we should remain in the federal union
 
HB 1215 https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/HB01215I.pdf#navpanes=0 Would reinforce and grant power to the Texas government to enforce the tenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
 
I urge each of you who might be so inclined to contact your state representative and state senator and let them know that you fully expect them to support both of these important bills and that you will be watching to ensure that they do so.
 
You can find your member of the Texas House at the following link https://capitol.texas.gov/Members/Members.aspx?Chamber=H
Senate members at https://capitol.texas.gov/Members/Members.aspx?Chamber=S
 
Thank you for your kind attention to this important matter.
 
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God!

As soon I read this, I realized this is a crap reporter.

There was no insurrection, and belongs with the tooth fairy saga.
