Quoted from June 4 San Antonio Express-News, page 8B:

"Gov. George W. Bush said Monday there's no reason for a

referendum and that history is on his side."



Imperial New World Order Texas Governor "Shrub" Bush is correct

when he says history is on his (the state's) side in regard to

claims of the General Council of the Provisional "Government" of

the Republic of Texas.  BUT -- his statement that "there's no

reason for a referendum" (a binding referendum on the subject of

Texas independence, a plank in the Libertarian Party of Texas

platform) indicates that his Imperial Highness is not interested

in what the citizens of Texas may desire.



Perhaps Emperor "Shrub" needs to read (possibly for the first

time) Article 1, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution which states:



"INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

All political power is inherent in the people, and all free 

governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for 

their benefit.  The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to 

the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject 

to this limitation only, * THEY * HAVE * AT * ALL * TIMES * THE *

INALIENABLE * RIGHT * TO * ALTER, * REFORM * OR * ABOLISH * THEIR

* GOVERNMENT * IN * SUCH * MANNER * AS * THEY * MAY * THINK *

EXPEDIENT * " (emphasis added).



This Emperor was brought to us by the Republicrat/Demopublican

system.  The citizens of Texas will again in November 1998 have an

opportunity to vote for a Libertarian Governor.  Let us hope that

they have sufficiently awakened by then.  Better yet, let us WORK

so that Texans will be sufficiently awakened by then.
