Sound just like them TEXANS

   Subject: From your Texas friend

Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time to get used to the 
results. After seeing the whiners along the inauguration route, the folks 
from Texas have decided that we might just take matters into our own hands.

     Here is our solution:

    #1: Let Kerry become President of the United States (all 49 states).

    #2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of Texas.

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

NASA in Houston, Texas (we will control the space industry).

We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.

Defense Industry (we have over 65% of it). The term "Don't mess with Texas," 
will take on a whole new meaning.

Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the 
next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.

Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad about those 
northern states. Mr. Kerry will figure a way to keep them warm..

Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips 
and communications: Small places like HP, Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, 
EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied 
Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, 
Alcatel, Etc,Etc. The list goes on and on.

Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research, 
the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world and other large 
health planning centers.

We have enough colleges to keep us going: U.T., Texas A&M, TexasTech, Rice, 
SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy 
grows better in the south anyway.

We have a ready supply of workers (just open the border when we need some 
more )

We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.

In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the 
Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down 
here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an army in 24 
hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call 
Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple of Texas 
Rangers.

We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and vegetable produce 
and everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. 
Don't need any food. This just names a few of the items that will keep the 
Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need 
and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Kerry : Since you won't 
have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Kerry will be 
able to drive around in his 9 mile per gallon SUV. The rest of the United 
States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the space center in Houston will cut off your 
communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes but since 
Mr. Kerry has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas.

Signed, The People in Texas
