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.)

rebelled during the civil war

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.

TI has shut down its R&D, relying on the chinese to supply it


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.

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.
