The Miller Effect: How Sid Miller's Stand Bolsters TEXIT

Few figures in Texas politics command the respect and attention that Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller does. Miller has long defended Texas values, and his recent declaration on Twitter sends a clear message to the people who only pay lip service to the principles that define this state. "If you're a RINO, you don't want me in your district come primary season," he wrote. That is a warning, and it is a challenge to everyone who believes in a Texas governed by Texans, for Texans.

The Power of the Ballot Box

Miller's showing in 2022 was hard to argue with. He pulled more votes than Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, or Attorney General Ken Paxton, which tells you his message lands with Texans. That result at the ballot box reflects his commitment to Texas, and it points to a growing demand among Texans for representatives who actually put Texas first.

The Texas First Pledge: A Commitment to Texans

Miller's commitment to Texas goes past his words. By signing the Texas Nationalist Movement's Texas First Pledge, he made a firm promise to act in the interest of Texans and Texans alone. That pledge is a cornerstone of our mission, and it gives everyone who believes in Texas Independence a clear standard to hold their officials to.

The Implications: A Turning Tide

Miller's stance has far-reaching implications for the future of Texas. His unwavering commitment to Texas values and his willingness to challenge those who fail to uphold these values could significantly alter the political landscape. His support for the Texas First Pledge could inspire other elected officials to make a similar commitment, strengthening the push for Texas Independence.

Miller's message to RINOs is clear: the time for empty rhetoric is over. The people of Texas demand representatives who will put Texas first, and they will not hesitate to make their voices heard in the upcoming primaries.

The Road Ahead

Support for TEXIT and the Texas Nationalist Movement keeps growing, and Miller's willingness to challenge the status quo shows how far our cause has come. His support for the Texas First Pledge backs exactly what we are working toward: unapologetic Texas First representatives at every level of government.

The road to Texas Independence gets built by the work of committed people like Sid Miller. His dedication to Texas, and his refusal to give a pass to officials who abandon Texas values, sets an example for everyone who believes in TEXIT. More officeholders will follow, and commit themselves to Texas Independence and to the people who elected them.

The Ship of Theseus

The man who wants the Constitution enforced is asking for the ship to be repaired. Nearly every plank in it has already been drawn out and replaced, most of them without anybody being asked, and Texas can still produce the receipts on its own timber.
