The purpose of the petition is to get a referendum on the ballot that will bring the question into the public spotlight and encourage more people to think about the possibilities, so that in the future more and maybe eventually enough Texans will actually stand up and make it happen...Signing a petition means squat...........imho..
Nothing will happen until enough Texans actually stand up and make it happen.....

The petition isn't the end, just a beginning, and no skin off of anybody's ass to sign...
1359 was squashed by Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott.You mean like the Texas Independence Referendum Act (HB 1359), a bill filed this year to provide for a nonbinding statewide referendum on secession filed by Texas House member Kyle Biedermann?
HB 1359 was referred to the State Affairs committee but was never given a hearing or voted on by the committee before the end of the session. As of 31 May, it was considered dead/failed.
So you can understand why there's not a lot of enthusiasm for yet another online petition that most likely will end up nowhere...
The problem is that Constitutionally, any new state would get at least 3 Electoral votes as the minimum representation is one member in the House and 2 Senators.Even if we cannot secede, the solution of dissolution into multiple states still might prove useful.
Such as: keep Texas as Texas but create a new state within: The Commie Republic of Awwsten, Californians And Libtards. And give them 1 vote in the electoral college. Wouldn't that help our great state? Change my mind.
