A Captured Nation of War

Tired of Being Overtaxed and Told What You Can & Cannot Do?

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO FREE TEXAS AND YOURSELF

According to the Law of Nations, we can recover our independent nation status by restoring a lawful civil government. This is now being done.

In January 1995, A Constitutional Convention was called in Jeff Davis County. Since only about 200 people showed up, it was decided to form a provisional government with the goal of having another Constitutional Convention within two years which would include all Texans. The Provisional Government has called another Constitutional Convention for July 4, 1997. In the meantime, the Provisional Government has continued to file legal documentation and has been holding General Council meetings at various locations in Texas with the intention of getting more people involved.

Goals of Provisional Government

Restore a constitutional republic on the soil of Texas

Strictly limit the powers of the government of the Republic of Texas

Restore the rule of the Common Law

Restore a banking system using 'REAL' money (not debt money)

Long Live the Republic!

What Is the Republic of Texas All About?

The major media outlets have referred to the Republic of Texas as a "movement". The truth is that the Republic of Texas is a NATION, and has been such since 1836 when it was established by the people of Texas who won independence from Mexico.

The "movement" that exists is the people of Texas working to lawfully reclaim the soil of Texas from the United States which has held Texas as a captured nation since 1865.

The Congress of the United States failed from 1836 until 1845 to annex Texas to the U.S. as a state because they did not have the authority under their constitution to do so plus they could not get a majority of either house of Congress to vote in favor of the annexation. During a holiday period when few congressmen were in town, they finally passed a joint resolution (a statement of intent which has no force of law and is not even authorized in the U.S. constitution) to annex Texas. The people of Texas rewrote their constitution to comply with guidelines provided by the U.S. and in 1845 voted to become a part of the United States.

In 1861 the people of Texas, by popular vote, exercised their right under the resolution to withdraw from the agreement. They, as a separate and independent nation, formed an alliance with the southern states of the United States during the Civil War. They did not become a confederate state. They merely allied with them.

After the Civil War, the Union Army came to the southern states and also to Texas and took over by military force and rule. There was never another document done to lawfully bring Texas into the Union of States. It was simply taken over and run by the military.

On March 30, 1879, the Congress of the United States passed a special act allowing Texas to be represented in Congress. This is the deception that has led everyone to believe that Texas was indeed part of the United States.

The fact that Texas is not, and never has been, lawfully a part of the United States is one that is not palatable to many because of our emotional ties to the beliefs we have held all our lives. But belief does not change fact and when we come to learn the facts of how the people of Texas have had their freedoms eroded by involuntary servitude to unlawful governments, and when we realize that we have the chance once again to be truly free to own property and exercise our rights to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness", we can begin to overcome those emotional ties in favor of the excitement of the possibility of being truly FREE once again.

Please call for additional information and material or go to the official Republic of Texas web page and you will see the work that has been done to proclaim to the world that we have found out who we are! Free people of an independent nation!

We welcome you to call for more information and to consider joining with us to help re-form our beloved Republic of Texas.

Republic of Texas
by Lauren Savage

(Spanish Language Translation follows)

Natural Born Natives of the land of Texas have always held a certain pride in being a natural born Texan. There is a self-respect and emotion which arises in our hearts and minds when we hear songs like, The Eyes of Texas, Texas Our Texas , Yellow Rose of Texas, Long Tall Texan, and others.

A sense of pride comes over us when we recognize our Texas bird (mockingbird), our Texas flower (bluebonnet), our Texas tree (pecan), our Texas seal (olive branch and live oak), our Texas flag (the lone star and the bonnie blue), and when we gaze upon and admire our Capitol Building and the Alamo.

We get a special sense of self-esteem when we recall our history back to when our land was its own independent nation. A wistful dream comes on us that Texas could return to that status and we could be our own people once again, owing nobody or any nation anything.

A quiet type of patriotism arises in Texans, honoring those who died at the Alamo to achieve our independence, and those who gave their lives at San Jacinto. We wonder if we let those heroes of Texas down when they fought so hard and lost their lives to give us independence and we later turned our back on freedom and that independence to become subjects of the United States.

Those heroes of Texas past would not be happy with the state of affairs of their land, if they could see what we have become and what we have done to those freedoms. Remnants of those ideals of men, like James Bowie, Stephen Austin, Sam Houston and Davy Crockett, still remain with us. Our part time legislature (which meets once every two years) is only one of those reminders of their feelings towards freedom. Our early Texas fathers felt strongly against having too many laws which curtail freedoms.

Even in this modern, expanding, technological society, we Texans still want our liberties left intact and not taken away from us by a state government, U.S. federal government, United Nations or anyone else. We choose to remain sovereign, free, independent, and enjoy the Creator's blessings on the land of Texas.

Even in our arrogance of Texas pride, we Texans have compassion on these persons which have migrated to Texas from other points of the globe. We welcome them and consider them full blood Texans after living on the land seven years. However, we do expect them to drawl out their words, wear cowboy boots and hats, and drive a pickup truck. One of our responses to non-Texans moving into Texas is "...Well, what took you so long!"

Of every wonder of nature that the Creator has given to the earth, He gave at least one to Texas. In our minds, it is the Garden of Eden of the new world. A land filled with such natural beauty deserves to be free and filled with men and women who enjoy Texas wonders.

Texas enjoys the same sense of freedom and pride that the Hebrews must have had when coming out of bondage in Egypt. Mitzrayim (Hebrew for "Egypt") means bondage, rules, and boundaries. No one can deny the fact that the federal government of the United States has placed Texans under bondage, rules and boundaries.

More than half of the native born Texans want out of the federal system. They do not want to destroy or harm the united States of America. The u.S.A. has a similar history of fighting for freedom from oppression.

We native born Texans, and many adopted Texans, simply want to become free again from our Mitzrayim, the federal government of the United States. Texas must be the forerunner in re-establishing its independence and sovereignty. Peaceful and legal severance from the United States will set the example for the rest of the several states of the united States of America to be able to force the federal system from their lands; not to destroy the united States of America, but to reaffirm their freedoms, in statehood and independence, and force the leaders of the united States of America to return to their noble heritage, before it is too late.

The drive to free Texas and Texans from the federal government of the U.S. has begun! It is a peaceful and legal demand for freedom from the United States. Even though the government and the government-controlled media have so far effectively quashed the news of the re-establishment of the Republic of Texas, the movement has a grass roots base and is growing by hundreds of Texans daily.

Many home-grown, native Texan politicians, judges, officials, mayors, policemen, and lawyers agree with the goals of the Republic of Texas, even though at this time they must remain in the background, they silently pray and support the Republic of Texas. Estimates of support of the people of Texas, who are aware of the legal maneuvers and actions toward freedom, number between 250,000 and 500,000. Many are waiting to see the real possibility before officially signing onto the Republic of Texas.

Those who have signed on as Republic of Texas sovereigns, and are willing to make their stand in favor of the Republic, number about 50,000. The news media has labeled these Texans as "tax-protesters" and "dissidents" and they slant the real power of the people, giving estimates of supporters at about 2,000. Don't believe the news media. The Republic of Texas is a growing, thriving, legal entity, representing the sovereigns of the land of Texas.

Much thought, care, concern, and plans are being made to make a peaceful transition back to a free nation. The Republic of Texas provisional government is laying groundwork to lessen the economic hardships on the residents of Texas when independence is gained. They are aware and working on the many problems, (economic, political, military, taxes, judicial, etc.), which will face the people of Texas as a result of gaining independence from the United States.

This effort to free Texas from its political ties with the United States is getting world-wide recognition and support. Many sovereign people from other states including some American Indian nations are supporting the Republic of Texas, through prayers, labors, and finances. Sovereign peoples of other nations, who live in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Peru, Hawaii, Chile, Colombia, and others have given their support, with a handshake and the wink of an eye. All the sovereign peoples of the u.S.A. , Texas, and the rest of the world, know that Texas (since it is the largest in land mass and population to seek freedom) must succeed in its attempt to re-establish its nation status, for there to be hope for their people to end the tyranny of the world government which is closing in on all of us.

Religious God-fearing Texans sincerely believe that the hand of the Almighty Creator is in the re-establishment of the Republic of Texas. His shadow (the cloud by day and the fire by night) has protected us, so far, from the evil which attempts to destroy a free people and their land.

The United States cannot afford to deny our quest for independence, which we are seeking through legal means. The United States took a political and moral, position when the U.S.S.R. broke up and that principle is now a precedent for the people of the Republic of Texas. The U.S. supported the break-up of the U.S.S.R., in the name of democracy and freedom, and forced the world opinion against the U.S.S.R. The world community of nations immediately recognized the new nations which resulted from the separation of the several states of the U.S.S.R. Texas wants nothing more than this from the United States. Will the U.S. be hypocritical in its philosophy or will it formally accept and officially recognize the Republic of Texas? The United State's good faith and credit and its reputation is on the line now !! The U.S. should not interfere with the people of Texas' grasping for and desiring independence and freedom. The U.S. itself set the precedent and example, and since its own honor is at stake the liabilities it would incurr from being sanctimonious and hypocritical could be disastrous. Those new nations of the old U.S.S.R. should see the correlation between their situations and those of Texas. Those new nations should immediately recognize Texas as the independent nation of the Republic of Texas.

The work and the amount of work is not easy or light and those who have taken on the task of freeing Texans from our Mitzrayim, do so at great personal risk and sacrifice . The road ahead will be filled with many obstacles and hardships for the new nation and its people, but the freedom gained will be worth it all!!

The Republic of Texas is looking for some real Texan statesmen of such character as we have not seen since James Bowie. The Republic of Texas needs solid soveriegn citizens of every community who will spread the news and message to the people of Texas, who, thanks to a biased, government-controlled news media, stay uninformed. We need men and women who, like Stephen F. Austin, can no longer tolerate the multitude of laws, statutes, injustices, and extortions of the current government. Austin fought against the Santa Anna-controlled Mexican government; became a political prisoner for his beliefs in Mexico City; just to end the injustices of the government against the people of Texas. Does Texas still have statesmen who will stand up for what is right and against injustice? Can you help spread the message of the re-formation of the Republic of Texas? Can we as a people and a nation, once again, show the world that kind of resolve and personal fortitude for freedom?

República de Texas

Spanish Translation by Daniel Lopez

Los Propios Naturales de la tierra de Texas (pron."Tejas") siempre han sentido cierto orgullo en el hecho de ser nativos de Texas. Cierta autoestima y pasión se levanta en nuestros corazones y mentes cuando escuchamos canciones como: "Los Ojos de Texas," "Texas Nuestro Texas," "El Texano (pron."Tejano") Alto," "La Rosa Amarilla de Texas," y muchas otras.

Nos sobreviene un sentir de orgullo cuando reconocemos los símbolos de Texas: nuestra ave (el sinsonte), nuestra flor (el bonete azul), nuestro árbol (el nogal), nuestro escudo (con rama de olivo y encina americana), nuestra bandera (la estrella sola sobre azul celeste), y cuando contemplamos con admiración a nuestro Capitolio y al Alamo.

Nos enorgullecemos cuando recordamos la historia de cuando nuestra tierra era nación independiente. Sentimos nostalgia cuando pensamos que Texas podría volver a gozar de la condición de independencia y que una vez más podríamos ser un pueblo autóctono, sin deberle nada a ninguna persona o nación.

Se despierta en los texanos una especie de patriotismo, que honra a los que murieron en el Alamo por la independencia, y a los que dieron sus vidas en San Jacinto. Nos preguntamos si hemos traicionado a nuestros héroes texanos, después de que pelearon con tanto valor y dieron sus vidas para darnos la independencia, y más tarde le dimos la espalda a la independencia y a la libertad para hacernos súbditos del gobierno de los Estados Unidos.

Aquéllos héroes del Texas de la historia estarían tristes con el estado actual de su tierra, si pudieran ver en qué nos hemos convertido y lo que hemos hecho con esas libertades. Aún hoy nos quedan remanentes de los ideales de hombres como Lorenzo de Zavala, Juan Seguín, James Bowie, Stephen Austin, Sam Houston y Davy Crockett. Nuestra legislatura de medio tiempo (que se reúne cada dos años) es apenas uno de esos recordatorios de su sentir hacia la libertad. Nuestros próceres texanos estaban muy en contra de tener tantas leyes que nos limitan las libertades.

Aún hoy día, en esta sociedad tecnológica creciente, los texanos seguimos con el deseo de que nuestras libertades permanezcan inviolables y que no nos las pueda quitar ningún gobierno, ni del estado, ni federal de Wáshington, ni de las Naciones Unidas, ni de nadie. Deseamos permanecer soberanos, libres, e independientes, y asimismo gozar de las bendiciones del Creador sobre la tierra de Texas.

En medio de nuestra arrogancia de orgullo texano, sentimos compasión por las personas que han llegado a Texas desde otros lugares del globo terráqueo. Les damos la bienvenida y los consideramos plenamente texanos cuando hayan cumplido siete años de vivir en la tierra. Claro que esperamos que lleguen a hablar inglés al estilo texano, calzar botas y lucir sombreros de vaqueros y que manejen una camioneta "picáp." Una de las respuestas que les damos a los que llegan a Texas del exterior es: "Bueno, ¿porqué esperaste tanto para venir?"

De cada una de las maravillas naturales que el Creador le ha dado a la tierra, le dio al menos una a Texas. En nuestro concepto, éste es el Paraíso del Nuevo Mundo. Una tierra tan llena de belleza natural merece ser libre y poblada de gente que disfrute de las maravillas de Texas.

Texas goza del mismo sentir de libertad y orgullo que debieron sentir los hebreos cuando salieron de la esclavitud de Egipto. "Mitsráyim" ("Egipto" en hebreo) significa servidumbre, reglamentos y linderos. Nadie puede negar el hecho de que el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos ha sometido al Pueblo texano bajo servidumbre, reglamentos y linderos. Casi la mitad de los texanos de nacimiento desea deshacerse del sistema federal. No desean destruir ni hacerle daño a los Estados unidos de América. Los EEUU también tienen historia de luchar por la libertad de la opresión.

Los texanos de nacimiento y muchos texanos adoptivos sencillamente queremos ser libres otra vez de nuestro "Mitsráyim": el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos. Texas debe ser el precursor en el restablecimiento de su independencia y soberanía. Nuestra separación legal y pacífica de los Estados unidos de América les dará el ejemplo al resto de estados de los EEUU, para que puedan sacar al sistema federal de sus tierras. No estamos para destruir a los Estados unidos de América, sino para reafirmar sus libertades, como estados y como independientes, y para obligarle a los líderes de los Estados unidos de América a volver a su noble legado, antes de que sea muy tarde.

¡El esfuerzo por libertar a Texas y a los texanos del gobierno de los EEUU ha empezado! Se trata de una demanda pacífica y legal de libertad de los Estados Unidos. A pesar de que el gobierno y los medios controlados por el gobierno de hecho hasta ahora han logrado suprimir las noticias del renacimiento de la República de Texas, el movimiento cuenta con el apoyo a nivel popular y crece por centenares de texanos a diario.

Muchos de los políticos, jueces, funcionarios, alcaldes, policías y abogados están de acuerdo con las metas de la República de Texas, y aunque por ahora deben permanecer en el trasfondo, silenciosamente ruegan por la República de Texas y la apoyan. Se calcula que el número de personas del Pueblo de Texas que están conscientes de las maniobras y los movimientos hacia la libertad, suman entre 250,000 y 500,000. Muchos de ellos esperan ver la verdadera posibilidad del éxito antes de vincularse a la República de Texas.

Los que se han vinculado como soberanos de la República de Texas, y están dispuestos a estar firmes a favor de la República, son unos 50,000. Los medios noticiosos suelen tildar a estos texanos de protestadores "antiimpuestos" y "disidentes," y disimulan el verdadero poder popular con sus cálculos de 2000 apoyadores. No les creas a los medios noticiosos. La República de Texas es una entidad legal creciente y vibrante, que representa a los ciudadanos soberanos de la tierra de Texas.

Nos hemos esforzado mucho con los planes, los cuidados y las inquietudes referentes a la transición pacífica a ser una nación libre nuevamente. El gobierno provisional de la República de Texas está sentando las bases para poder evitar al máximo las dificultades económicas para los residentes de Texas, cuando se gane la independencia. Están conscientes de ellos y constantemente buscando soluciones para los muchos problemas (económicos, políticos, militares, tributarios, judiciales, etc.) que el Pueblo tendrá que enfrentar como resultado de ganar la independencia de los Estados Unidos.

Este esfuerzo por liberar a Texas de sus nexos políticos con los Estados Unidos está recibiendo reconocimiento y apoyo global. Numerosas personas soberanas de otros estados, inclusive algunas naciones Indígenas Americanas están apoyando a la República de Texas, a través de sus oraciones, labores y finanzas. Los pueblos soberanos de otras naciones, que viven en México, Arabia Saudita, Israel, Perú, Hawaii, Chile, Colombia, y otros han ofrecido su apoyo, con un apretón de manos y el guiñar de un ojo. Todos los pueblos soberanos de los EEUU, Texas, y el resto del mundo, saben que Texas (ya que se trata de la mayor extensión de tierra y de mayor número de habitantes del continente que buscan la libertad) debe tener éxito en su gestión de restablecer su condición de nación. Solo así habrá esperanzas de que esos pueblos se liberen de la tiranía del gobierno mundial que nos rodea y se propone subyugarnos.

Los texanos temerosos de Dios creen sinceramente que la mano del Todopoderoso Creador está sobre el restablecimiento de la República de Texas. Su sombra (la nube de día y el fuego de noche) hasta ahora nos ha protegido del mal que se propone destruir al pueblo libre y su tierra.

A los Estados Unidos no les conviene rechazar nuestra solicitud de independencia, la cual gestionamos por medios legales. Los EEUU tomaron una posición política y moral cuando se deshizo la Unión Soviética, y ese principio constituye ahora un claro precedente para el Pueblo de la República de Texas. Los EEUU apoyaron el rompimiento de la URSS, a nombre de la democracia y la libertad, e influenció la opinión mundial en contra de la URSS. La comunidad mundial de naciones inmediatamente reconoció las nuevas naciones que resultaron de la separación de los diferentes estados de la URSS. Texas no espera nada más ni menos de los Estados Unidos. ¿Tomarán los Estados Unidos una actitud de hipocresía ante esto, o aceptarán formalmente y oficialmente reconocerán a la República de Texas? ¡Está de por medio la buena fe, el crédito, y la reputación de los Estados Unidos!! Los EEUU no deben interferir con el Pueblo de Texas cuando éste desea y busca la independencia y la libertad. Los mismos EEUU establecieron el precedente y el ejemplo, y ya que su propio honor está en juego, las obligaciones que incurriría por ser hipócrita podrían ser desastrosas. Las nuevas naciones de la antigua URSS deben ver la correlación entre sus situaciones y la de Texas. Esas nuevas naciones inmediatamente deben reconocer a Texas como la nación independiente de la República de Texas.

El trabajo no es fácil ni, la cantidad de trabajo liviana, y los que han tomado sobre sí la tarea de libertar a los texanos de nuestro "Mitsráyim", lo hacen a pesar de importantes riesgos y sacrificios personales. El camino que tenemos por delante estará pleno de obstáculos y penalidades para la nueva nación y su pueblo, pero la libertad ganada así bien valdrá la pena!!

La República de Texas busca verdaderos estadistas texanos, de la calidad que no hemos conocido desde la época de James Bowie. La República de Texas necesita la ayuda de ciudadanos soberanos de cada comunidad, para esparcir la noticia y el mensaje al Pueblo de Texas, quienes, gracias al medio noticioso prejuiciado y controlado por el gobierno, siguen ignorándolo. Necesitamos mujeres y hombres como Lorenzo de Zavala, que ya no pueden tolerar la multitud de leyes, estatutos, injusticias y extorsiones del gobierno. El Sr. Zavala luchó contra el gobierno Mexicano controlado por Santa Ana, precisamente por terminar con las injusticias de aquel gobierno contra el pueblo de Texas. ¿Será que Texas aún cuenta con patriotas que lucharán a favor del derecho y contra la injusticia? ¿Puedes tú ayudar a regar el mensaje del restablecimiento de la República de Texas? ¿Podemos nosotros, como pueblo y nación, una vez más demostrarle al mundo esa clase de denuedo y fortaleza personal a favor de la libertad?
