TNM Set To Make Major Announcement on #TEXIT Bill This Tuesday

On Tuesday, December 8 at noon, the Texas Nationalist Movement will make a major announcement regarding the Texas Independence Referendum Act.

The Texas Independence Referendum Act is a piece of proposed legislation that will give Texans a vote on becoming an independent self-governing nation in accordance with Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution. This is similar to the BREXIT referendum held in the United Kingdom in 2016 and the IndyRef vote held in Scotland in 2014.

The announcement will be available on the TNM’s website and a variety of social media platforms. You can find the links to the stream on each of the platforms here:

Daniel Miller used the announcement to report that State Representative Kyle Biedermann of Fredericksburg had submitted the Texas Independence Referendum Act for filing in the next session of the Legislature. Miller called it TNM’s biggest announcement ever.

He grounded the case in the closing words of Article I, Section 1 of the Texas Constitution, which tie the perpetuity of the union to the right of local self-government “unimpaired to all the states.” In Miller’s reading, Texas had the right to reassert its independence the first time a federal court overturned a law Texans passed. Instead, he said, Texans spent decades trying to reform the federal government. He credited Biedermann as the first legislator to publicly back Texans who objected to the Reimagine the Alamo project.

Miller said the filing leaves two sides for now: those who want Texans to vote, and an establishment that thinks it knows best. The independence argument itself comes later. Until then, he said, every legislator and statewide officeholder has to answer whether Texans get to vote.
