01/23/2023 – State of Texas: Daniel Miller’s letter to Governor Greg Abbott / (attached – full text) // comment attached
You have heard me say this but it always bears repeating: Politics is not our Savior, but there is no direction that we can turn in this life, that Almighty God does not speak to. With that, Daniel Miller, President of TNM (“Texas National Movement”), for two plus decades I believe, just emailed me this letter:
Dear James,
Today the US Supreme Court issued a ruling that authorized the Biden administration to resume tearing down the limited fencing that the State of Texas has put in place in an attempt to secure the border. In response, I have sent the following letter to Governor Greg Abbott with a simple demand – call a Special Session and let the people of Texas vote on TEXIT.
FYI: I submit that: True Christian world view “informed” conservatives will not be voting for Abbot in the March primary; we have at least two candidates that are much more appropriate choices. We must help each other as brothers, to help one another stay properly informed.
I have included the text of the letter below. Be sure to read it, share it, volunteer your time and skills, and let us know that you support our efforts to get and win a vote on TEXIT.
Daniel Miller

Texas Nationalist Movement
Letter To Governor Abbott
“Dear Governor Abbott,
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States rubberstamped the Biden administration’s intentional collapse of our border with Mexico. Now, all three branches of government are working in concert to deny Texas the right as a sovereign state to secure our border. They are, in practice, more aligned with narco-terrorists cartels than with a member of their own union.
This is an existential threat to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Texas and the fundamental right of self-government of the people of Texas. As such, this constitutes an emergency, and the response should be immediate and proportionate to the constitutional crisis created by the actions of the Biden administration and the Supreme Court.
Article 1 Section 1 of the Texas Constitution is clear on this matter when it states, “…the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the right of local self-government, unimpaired to all the States.”
Further, Article 1, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution clearly states that the Texan people have an absolute and inalienable right to choose how and by whom they are governed.
“All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.”
On December 11, 2023, the Texas Nationalist Movement, in accordance with Sec. 172.088(d) of the Texas Election Code, delivered 139,456 signatures that meet the legal requirements to place the following proposition on the 2024 Republican Party Primary Ballot: “The State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.”
But for the actions of the Republican Party of Texas Chairman Matt Rinaldi, in violation of the Texas Election Code, Texans would have an opportunity in March to debate and vote on whether they believe Texas should continue its relationship with a federal government that actively opposed the security of our international border with Mexico.
Planks 33 & 225 of the Republican Party of Texas platform call for the issue of Texas independence to be put to a vote of the people. They state:
“33. State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas shall be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”
“225. Texas Independence: We urge the Texas Legislature to pass a bill in its next session requiring a referendum in the 2023 General Election for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.”
Therefore, I submit to you the signers of the petition, and we call on you to let the people speak. It is within your power as Governor to call a special session of the Texas Legislature for the purpose of letting Texans answer the question, “Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?”
The power to determine how Texas is governed does not lie with the federal courts. It is, by right, reserved to the people of Texas. It’s time to let the people speak.”
Comment : Ephesians 6:13! My question to our Republican controlled deep state in Austin: Why all the fear about this ballot proposal? We met all the requirements for the proposal already! So, you have to resort to open tyranny? Your premise that we represent a minute percentage of the population really comes into question with 130,000 signatures. So, if you put the ballot proposal up, and it fails to get a majority approval, let alone an overwhelming percentage approval, you can shut us up once and for all! Shouldn’t that be appealing to y’all?
Are we being political? Since our southern border was immediately opened once this current administration took office, we are seen proliferating numbers to the following: 1). “Drug overdoses”, around 100,000 per year, with the vast majority being fentanyl deaths from illicit China imports; they are killing our youth in large numbers; 2) Sex trafficking of young children; and 3) credible reports of real terrorist threats, even on the watch list, coming across.; and 4) needless suffering of the illegal migrants. This is basic disregard for human life, inalienable rights to life and recognition that we are all created in the image of God. So no, this is not a political issue, but the spiritual battle between God and Satan that has been going on thoughout history.
One last question: What is more dangerous? : A pack of wolves or a single wolf in “sheep’s clothing”? We are faced with quite a number in the later category. Y’all have exposed yourselves. You can no longer just let good bills die mysteriously in committee, before it even gets to the floor, and have it go unnoticed.
Soli Deo Gloria!
