While I dont think this petition is going to bring the desired fruit of the petitioners, I do think it speaks volumes about the frustration many thousands of Texans feel about the direction the country is headed. Further, apparently there is wide spread feeling of that type (ya think?) if almost a dozen other states ha...more

This is one of two places I would like to visit before I die. The other is the Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor. I'd like to walk the beach at Normandy with a WW2 vet and have him describe it to me. Or have some reading material on that day with me.
