Anthem of the Texas Republic

Anthem of the Texas Republic (by Josef Feldkirch)
WHEN in the Course of political events, it becomes necessary for the voters of Texas to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to a certain political party, and to assume the power of individual thought and action which is essential to preserve their liberties, a decent respect for the opinions of the electorate requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self evident, that all voters are created equal -- although political parties are not -- with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are the right to work with the Party and vote for the candidate that will most promote their liberty and work against intrusive government. -- That to frustrate this right, the two party system was instituted, deriving its power from the Texas election code. -- That whenever this two party system becomes destructive to freedom, it is the right of the voters to alter or abolish it, and to turn to a new party founded on such principles and organized as most likely to promote their liberty and prosperity, or to above all stop straight party voting. www.mayorgalvan.com
