Rep. Zach Wamp (R-03) suggested TN and other states may have to consider seceding from the union if the federal government does not change its ways…. "I hope that the American people will go to the ballot box in 2010 and 2012 so that states are not forced to consider separation from this government," said Wamp…. He lauded Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), who first floated the idea of secession in April '09, for leading the push-back against health care reform…

$30 trillion in debt and the president has had to accept IMF-style
international receivership. . .
Most of Texas is no longer under effective federal control. The FBI
is in the process of being dismantled.The real, emerging power in the
nation, and perhaps soon the world, is the head of a giant private
security company that got rich off military contracts. . ."
