didn't Mexico win them in the battle of the Alamo. why can't they just take them back. or was this like the old SCA wars when people fought to see who had to keep Pittsburgh.

isn't there a way to legally undo all this shit or has this republic fallen so far as to have nothing but utter destruction br the only answer.

Establish a grass roots organization that actively grooms liberal (or at least moderate) thinking people to begin in small political offices. Not just with money, but with real support.

I just posted something about this in my journal. Fucked up, right? The "Texas Textbook Massacre", they call it.

Sadly, as Texas goes, so go a lot of U.S. school districts. Not sure how they managed to get that kind of power, but it needs to change post haste.

Bingo. Obama is finally getting his shit together, and liberals should follow suit post haste.
