Every year in the Texas Legislature, the first bill brought up for consideration is one to secede from the Union. It has always been ceremonial. However, on March 1, 2022, Texas State Senator John Lucas IV, changes all of that with these words: When the President, Supreme Court and Congress took office they took one oath - that oath was not to devalue our currency by taking us off of the gold standard. It was not to invade our privacy by allowing the NSA to read our emails. It was not to go to war with nations that were not a threat to us. That oath was to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. They have broken that oath. Therefore today, we, the sovereign people of the state of Texas, declare ourselves a free and independent nation.
The story begins almost 30 years ago at the federal government's siege in Waco, TX against David Koresh and his Branch Davidians. Dylan Thomas and Carson Bradley are among three Navy Seals covertly called in to neutralize the situation. It goes tragically wrong as one of the Seals dies and Carson barely survives with severe burns throughout his body and a burning resentment towards the federal government.
Fast forwarding to today, Carson and Dylan devise a plan to ignite the fight for Texas' independence. They go to John Lucas, IV, a complex Texas State Senator, rancher, and family man who has always opposed abortion. Even more so since his once wayward, sister, Sarah had one while in college. He agrees to push the bill and guide its successful passage. It culminates with a standoff in Houston, TX to close the nation's largest Planned Parenthood facility. The President sends in the Marines to halt the closure and the battle lines are drawn! What starts out as a battle over abortion explodes into a fight for Independence!
