 Christian lead separatist movement |
Resident Skeptic |
| Quote: | Roger Williams (c. 1603 � between January and March 1683) was a Puritan, an English Reformed theologian, and later a Reformed Baptist who was an early proponent of religious freedom and separation of church and state, and a supporter of members of the Free Will Baptist movement.
He was expelled by the Puritan leaders from the colony of Massachusetts because they thought that he was spreading "new and dangerous ideas", so he began the colony of Providence Plantation in 1636 (later becoming the State of Rhode island) which provided a refuge for religious minorities. Williams was a member of the first Baptist church in America, the First Baptist Church of Providence.[1] |
It is time to draw inspiration from this man. It must start where the ground is already fertile for a separatists movement, a state like Texas. While Williams did not start a whole new country, he still demonstrates what a determined few can achieve. Christians in Texas must lead the way by electing State officials who will protect them from unconstitutional edicts from Washington and who are completely loyal to Texas sovereignty. If Texans are not given their rights within the Union, then they must demand separation. We can do this. History proves it. Christians in other States will be inspired to start similar movements in their States. If Texas leaves, will not Oklahoma and Utah follow? This might be our only hope.

| I have for many years now wished that Texas would secede, and hopefully that perhaps SE NM would join the new Republic of Texas. I think the biggest sticking point would most likely be money. If people think they stand to lose a significant amount financially, they will balk. |

Smart and steady financial positioning now can prevent loss later. But companies that have huge contracts with Uncle Sam will resist.
