So I got sent this e-mail today......

THE  COUNTRY of  TEXOARKLA

In case things get a little  tougher during the next few months, we
In  LOUISIANA , TEXAS , OKLAHOMA  &  ARKANSAS have a plan.

Maybe you don't know it, but  LOUISIANA , TEXAS , OKLAHOMA , &
ARKANSAS  have a legal right to secede from the Union .  (Reference the
Texas/Louisiana-American  Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

Us TEXOARKLANS love y'all  Americans, but we'll probably have to
take  action since Barack Obama won the election and  is now the President 
of
the U.S.A.  We'll miss y'all though.

Here is what can  happen:

1.  Barack Hussein Obama, after becoming the  President of the United
States , begins to  try and create a socialist country, then TEXAS  ,
LOUISIANA , ARKANSAS  and OKLAHOMA  announces that they are going to secede
from  the Union ..

2. George W. Bush becomes the President of the  Republic of
TEXOARKLA . You might think that  he doesn't talk too pretty, but we  
haven't
had another terrorist attack and the  economy was fine until the effects of
Barney  Frank and the Democrats lowering the  qualifications for home loans
came home to  roost..

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

1.  NASA is just south of Houston , Texas .  We  will control the
space  industry.

2.  We refine over 90% of the gasoline in the United  States ..

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

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that  the Republic of TEXOARKLA
will need for the  next 300 years. What will the other states do?  Gee, we
don't know.  Why not ask  Obama?

5.  Natural Gas - again, we have all we need and  it's too bad about
those Northern States.  John Kerry and Al Gore will just have to figure  
out a
way to keep them warm...

6. Computer Industry - we  lead the nation in producing computer
chips  and communications equipment - small companies  like Texas 
Instruments,
Dell Computer, EDS,  Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola,  Intel, 
AMD,
Nortel, Alcatel, etc..  The  list goes on and on.

7. Medical Care - We have the research  centers for cancer research,
the best burn  centers and the top trauma units in the world,  as well as
other large health  centers.

8.  We have enough colleges to keep educating and  making smarter
citizens:  University of  Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University  of
Oklahoma , Oklahoma State University ,  UL-Lafayette, UL-Monroe, LSU,
Louisiana Tech  University , University of Arkansas ,    Arkansas State
University , Baylor, Rice,  TCU, SMU and MANY more.

9. We have an intelligent and  energetic work force and it isn't
restricted  by a bunch of unions. Here in TEXOARKLA, we are  a Right-to-Work
State and, therefore, it's  every man and woman for themselves.. We just  go
out and get the job done.. And if we don't  like the way one company
operates, we get a  job somewhere else.

10. We have essential control of the  paper, plastics, and insurance
industries,  etc.

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

12. We are totally self-sufficient in  beef, poultry, hogs, and
several types of  grain, fruit and vegetables and let's not forget  seafood
from the Gulf.  Also, everybody  down here knows how to cook them so that
they  taste good.  We don't need any food from  somewhere else.

13. FIVE of the ten largest cities in the  United States  and
THIRTY TWO of the  100 largest cities in the United States are  located in
TEXOARKLA.  And TEXOARKLA  also has more land than California , New York  ,
New Jersey , Connecticut , Delaware ,  Hawaii , Massachusetts ,  Maryland  
,
Rhode Island  and Vermont  combined.

14.  Trade:  FIVE of the ten largest ports in  the United States are
located in  TEXOARKLA.

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we  don't need to. You
see, nothing rusts in  TEXOARKLA so our vehicles stay beautiful and run  
well
for decades.

This just names a few of the items that  will keep the Republic of
TEXOARKLA in good  shape. There isn't a thing out there that we  need and
don't have.

Now to the rest of you folks in  the United States under  President
Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to  get gas for your cars, only
President Obama  will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg  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
satellite  communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat  your homes, but since Al Gore
has predicted  global warming, you will not need the gas as  long as you
survive the 2000 years it will  take to get enough heat from Global  
Warming.

In  other words, the rest of y'all in the USA can  enjoy change!



Signed, The People of  TEXOARKLA


P.S.  This is not a threatening letter - just a note  to give you
something to think  about!
