What's Next For TEXIT?

In case you missed it last week, the Texas Supreme Court declined to hear the case from the Texas Nationalist Movement, aka TEXIT, that would put the question before voters on whether or not Texas should secede, on the March GOP primary ballot.

"If you really want to call that a ballot ruling, it does not even appear that they heard it, they just rejected it" said Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, "For us, the Texas Supreme Court filing was essentially the first step we had to take."

And so what is the next step going to be?

"Right now we're working on what that next step is going to be, we obviously know there will be legal action" Miller told KTRH, "They don't want Texans to vote on this issue because they know if it goes on a ballot it wins. And then it establishes a political direction for Texas to go to move toward independence, and I think that's really what their fear is."

He adds that there are many Republican candidates who support TEXIT, and they will be on the ballot in March.
