'The federal government is out of control' according to Texas state Rep. Kyle Biedermann

A Texas state lawmaker says he plans to introduce a referendum pushing for the state to secede from the U.S.

“The federal government is out of control and does not represent the values of Texans. That is why I am committing to file legislation this session that will allow a referendum to give Texans a vote for the State of Texas to reassert its status as an independent nation,” Rep. Kyle Biedermann, R-Fredricksburg, said in a statement.

The federal government is out of control & doesn’t represent the values of Texans. That is why I am committing to file legislation that will allow a referendum to give Texans a vote for the State of Texas to reassert its status as an independent nation. #Texit  #txlege

The state legislature does not resume session until January, but Biedermann said his bill will rely on  Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution which reads: “All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit."

With the Texas Independence Referendum Act’s imminent filing, the Texas Nationalist Movement is ramping up preparations to fight for independence. This week the TNM officially filed the paperwork with the Texas Ethics Commission to form two political action committees to support our efforts.

The Texas Nationalist Movement Political Action Committee (TNM-PAC) will raise money to support TNM candidates for public office and current officeholders who work to carry out the TNM’s mission. Additionally, the TNM will use this PAC to help recruit, train, and support TNM members who run for office on both the state and local levels.

The second, which will likely generate the most buzz, is the TEXIT Now PAC. The TEXIT Now PAC is a specific-purpose political action committee created to raise money for the inevitable campaign to support independence in a TEXIT referendum.
