RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 01/02/19> The Texas Advantage… we are a Republic.
Good luck with that. The Sioux tribe has had a petition before the World Court right from the start to get the US to abide by the Laramie Treaty of 1868. They also refused payment for the Black Hills in the 1880s and that fund is unclaimed today and worth billions. They won't EVER take it.
There was a treaty for Alta California, too. But those folks are mostly willing to let you guys do the fighting... Because frankly, your claim is much better. But, in theory, almost all of the Republic of Texas (historic border) and all the rest of New Mexico and Arizona along with some of Nevada and Colorado would be affected. State of California abrogated their rights to claim statehood...
We do need some luck, and it is an uphill battle. The thing it does do is draw attention to the fact the US government is not operating as the Republic it was conceived as, if it were this whole country would be in a lot better shape.
Of course that would mean the politicians couldn't continue to screw us left and right and so they would put a big fight up over them making to follow the constitution.
It's a good fight and worthy. My aunt had 100 silver rounds from the Lakota Project when she died. She had quite a little silver she had acquired, and hired me to inventory it late in her life. That wasn't official tribal coinage, but was a native project in support of the Laramie Treaty fight. I have no idea if my cousins kept or sold that silver...
Those would probably be worth a nice chunk of change right now.
