NO, a serious action for the Republic of Texas independence from the CORPORATION OF THE UNITED STATES took hold in 2005 during the Bush administration. See [link to www.texasrepublic.info] "The government of the Republic of Texas has now been lawfully vested back into the hands of the people of Texas as a constitutional republic nation. This process is not an act of seceding from the US since history shows that citizens of the republic of Texas never voted to cede their land in the first place." This has been a fast growing grassroots action that has widespread support. [link to www.texasnationalist.com] / "Who decides?" ---Robert A.
