S1E14_Republic of Texas Conference Draws Attention of Federal Law Enforcement Officials

A raucous crowd of approximately 2000 Texian delegates jeered and taunted federal law enforcement agents sent in by the Department of Homeland Security to disperse the gathering at the Stephen F Austin Convention Center in San Antonio.  DHS officials chose to wait until after the closing benediction to move in and break up the crowd.   In previous years, the annual rally had gone largely unnoticed outside of the State of Texas; but this year’s assembly gained national attention after Congressman Chet Cummings, a Federal Libertarian from Waco, announced that he would take the group’s traditional liberation decree and read it into record on the House floor, next month.  Though invited to be the keynote speaker, the Congressman declined the invitation after learning of the potential for violence at this year’s event, and chose not to attend.Support Our Podcast -  Find 1st Amendment News T-Shirts and Travel Mugs at:https://www.zazzle.com/store/pop_and_kks_place/products Support the show
