By "purple state" I am not alluding to LSD.

2. after 5 generations of family in one of the reddest of the reds
like the song says. " I am going to leave old Texas now "
but not for a couple of years.

I am thinking another red state - Alaska, looks interesting.

5. Texas will be a swing state by then
Just stay here- we need good Dems!

Our demographics show us going Dem within the next decade. We're already a majority minority state, and with our increasing Hispanic population and their tendency to vote Dem, we're going to be a battleground soon! We need people to stay here so that we can turn the battleground into a full fledged populist movement. :-)

6. Sorry, but I'm out of gas with Texas
The "Dream Team" fiasco of 2002 was the last straw for me. Had Democrats won just one, ONE, of those races they could have claimed at least a minor victory. Instead, they lost all races by double digits, except for one.

This is a one party Republican state. Let them have it. I call on all Texas Democrats to take your votes to swing states where they will count for something.

4. Purple Haze!
Don't move-just stop feeding the monkey. Just file Zero returns at tax time!
If millions of us would do so it would send a message no physical revolution could match.
