    In NH it is not against the state constitution to secede, and there are a few people pushing for secession. A measure was introduced into the state legislature.

    But how are those groups recognized? The federal government and SCOTUS, recognizes us as the United States, WE the PEOPLE of those United states.

    Growing up in Texas, I feel like they have been talking secession for decades.

    I've visited Texas a few times to family and weddings--it seemed like a wonderful place. I have no idea why they have gone insane--I cannot believe that platform expresses the thoughts of the majority of Texans. I hope not.

    Any place that produced Townes Van Zandt and Larry McMurtry would be a terrible loss.
