On March 2, 1836, the Convention of 1836 delegates met at Washington-on-the-Brazos and declared its independence from Mexico.
Almost 173 years later, our country of Texas stands tall and proud as the economic tiger of North America. While the President of the United States wonders why Congress will not approve drilling for oil in Alaska, we Texans are already drilling off shore and generating our own oil instead of buying it from OPEC. And gas prices are the lowest since Ross Perot was elected President of our Republic in 1990. Can the Americans make that same claim?
Here in Texas, there are no economic stimulus programs and especially no subsidized tattoo removal programs like they have in the USA. Can you imagine Texas officially joining the USA as a state. I don't.
Do any of you have any plans to celebrate Texas independence this March 2?
