That's a wrap! Thanks for a great season. See you all next year!

We should be shooting 2nd Saturday and 4th Sunday again next year.

Final schedule to be finalized in February.

For an independent Texas Republic

"When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived...[it is] the inherent and inalienable right of the people to...abolish such government, and create another in its stead..."<br />
-Texas Declaration of Independence (1836)<br />

I heard about this secession movement on WGN radio:<br />
<br />
http://www.texassecede.com/<br />
<br />
They have an online petition at: https://petitions.wh...rnment/BmdWCP8B<br />
<br />
So far they have over 93,000 signatures, a lot of them outside of Texas.<br />
<br />
They are selling bumper stickers for $2.00 cash and a S.A.S.E. at: http://www.texassecede.com/buy.htm<br />
<br />
I signed the petition (it required signing up for a whitehouse.gov account - but I figure I'm already on a couple of Federal sekret dissident lists), and am going to buy a bumper stick to support the idea that people are considering disenfranchising the Federal Government.<br />

    Downside to the Texas thing is that if they pulled it off half the population of the U.S. would want to get citizenship there! Wonder what their immigration policy would be...

    Hopefully, they would have a sane one, i.e., how many additional Texans can the infrastructure support, and, "As an immigrant, what abilities, talents, and/or useful material wealth can you contribute to the nation of Texas to justify your admission?"<br />
    <br />
    There is an interesting statement on page 2 of this article:<br />
    http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/13/secession-yall-why-texas-can-pull-it-off<br />
    <br />
    "Still, all of this leads us back to a legal question: Can they do it? Texas lore claims that the permission to secede is woven into the state’s founding documents. Well, yes and no. The Texas Annexation Agreement of 1845 does say that the state has the right to split into as many as five separate states should it so choose — wouldn’t that make Harry Reid’s head spin?"<br />
    <br />
    If Texas got ticked off enough, they could do a 5 for 1 split and have 10 senators instead of 2. That would upset the balance of power in the Senate. They have 23 Republican and 9 Democrat, but that total, determined by population, would be split amongst the 5 new states.<br />
    <br />
    Has Illinois ever considered seceding from Chicago? <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /><br />
