Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry is expected to run for re-election in 2010, and Houston Stonewall Democrats is already beginning to campaign against him.
The group announced a “Pink Slip Party” for Perry on Friday, April 17, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Clubroom of The Rice Lofts, 909 Texas St. in Houston.
“Perry has given the people of Texas the finger, so we want to give him the boot in 2010,” declares the e-mail invitation I received today.
The invitation also says the event will include live entertainment and a Rick Perry look-alike contest, and it encourages everyone to wear pink.
Looks like another long political campaign season!
While they do not have the right to do this outright, there are certain paths they can take to get this goal. Come on, you know this is possible because this is the same country which gives exceptions to tax cheats through cleaver legal
maneuvers.
Really it is just using the legal system creatively.
Texas probably has the best chance at success. Here is just one way how it can work. The annexation agreement made when Texas joined the union provided that Texas would be able to divide into 5 states. This would create 8 more conservative Senators.
If Texas were to try to divide and be rebuffed, the US would be in violation of the agreement and Texas should be able to go free.
It is not all that far fetched. More here:

joke – Your comment only makes sense based on the initial annexation treaty. The problem though is that Texas left the union after that treaty was signed to be in the Confederacy. When Texas rejoined the union, we rejoined under different terms and the original annexation treaty no longer applies.
They are all crooks! now if texas left the union, it would a good thing. think about a new the country the size of France but richer!!!! remeber Jechiro the tv series???? awesome show and a reality of what is to come.
