Thanks for including so many frames with folks from the Texas Nationalist Movement who were at the Capitol on the opening day of the 83rd Texas Legislative Session. They were giving a bill to have a non-binding referendum that Texans can vote whether or not they want self-determination for our state to each and every representative and senator there. Lt. Governor Dewhurst receive an education about the Texas Constituton from TNM President Daniel Miller. Much more to come...

Also didn't show the shark tank, but since the waters were pretty still (first day and all) probably not a lot to see.
