Is the main issue they are having right now the drilling ban on federal property

That’s certainly a cataclysmic concern, but it’s just one of many reasons.

In summary, TEXIT is about:
- Controlling our own destiny
- Determining our own laws (I.e., getting out from under 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats in Washington)
- Stopping the bloodshed that is $103-$160 billion dollars per year being siphoned from the pockets of Texas taxpayers

The variables and issues are seemingly endless. I’m happy to try to answer/point you in the direction of specifics. In a nutshell, folks are wholly dissatisfied with just about every aspect of our relationship with the US federal government.

If so, how does Texit address that?

Not sure I follow. Texas businesses would drill Texas land and contract with other countries, same as US operates now. The difference: No prohibitive, devastating national laws. Businesses do much better with less overbearing regulatory restraints that come primarily from our membership in the union. It is reasonable to believe that this spirit of entrepreneurialism will continue and thrive in an independent Texas.
