Why stay in Texas and work for independence?

Because this is our home. The point is to stay in Texas and make Texas free.

Changing your government is the founding idea

The founders of this country did not move away from a government they disagreed with. They stayed, and they changed it. Wanting a say in the laws you live under is the founding idea of self-government, and it is the idea Texas independence is built on.

You don’t abandon your home, you take responsibility for it

Texans have built families, businesses, communities, and generations of history in this state: the place their grandparents are buried and their children are growing up. Independence says we are not leaving Texas. We are taking responsibility for it.

No state line escapes Washington

What drives people toward independence, a federal government too big to reform and too indebted to fix itself, is not a problem you can outrun by crossing a state line. Every state is under the same federal government. Moving to another state changes your weather, not your sovereignty. The only way to live under a government accountable to Texans is to make Texas independent.

The bottom line

We are not leaving Texas. We are freeing it. This is our home, and we intend to govern it ourselves.
