*Now that “Brexit” has happened, with Britain voting to exit the European Union, an ongoing movement has been given new hope here in the United States.
Folks in Texas, who have been trying to secede from the union for decades suddenly have a new hashtag to promote their efforts: #Texit.
By Friday, the Texas Nationalist Movement claimed that it had more than a quarter-million signatures on a petition to secede from the United States of America. The group released a statement calling for Texas Governor Greg Abbott to support a “Texit” vote.
“It is past time that the people of Texas had their say on our continued relationship with the Union and its sprawling Federal bureaucracy,” TNM’s president, Daniel Miller, said in the release.

Governor Abbott had yet to respond at press time.
