Texas, remember the Alamo?

Definitely the domestic issue I hate the most about the Dims.
Dems are losing the minority vote in this country by the day and they know. Gotta bring in waves of new voters to keep them in power -which is why they oppose voters I'd laws-Those people don't give a shit about us they just wanna keep their nice houses surrounded by walls and body guards.
 
To the People of Texas &

all Americans in the world—

Fellow citizens & compatriots—

I am besieged, by a thousand

or more of the Mexicans under

Santa Anna—I have sustained

a continual Bombardment &

cannonade for 24 hours & have

not lost a man—The enemy

has demanded a surrender at

discretion, otherwise, the garrison

are to be put to the sword, if

the fort is taken—I have answered

the demand with a cannon

shot, & our flag still waves

proudly from the walls—I

shall never surrender or retreat

Then, I call on you in the

name of Liberty, of patriotism &

& every thing dear to the American

character, to come to our aid,

with all dispatch - the enemy is

receiving reinforcements daily &

will no doubt increase to three or

four thousand in four or five days.

If this call is neglected, I am deter

mined to sustain myself as long as

possible & die like a soldier

who never forgets what is due to

his own honor & that of his

country—Victory or Death

William Barret Travis

Lt. Col. comdt

P.S. The Lord is on our side

When the enemy appeared in sight

we had not three bushels of corn—

We have since found in deserted

houses 80 or 90 bushels & got into

the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves—
