Rally at the Capitol sparks talks of secession

Members and citizens supporting the Republican Party rallied against the Obama administration outside the Texas Capitol Saturday afternoon.

The Texas State Sovereignty or Secessions movement is backed by those who think the federal government is getting too involved in state and local government affairs.

One of the options they're considering is seceding from the United States.

"They're coming together to talk about the option of sovereignty, to rally support for state sovereignty, to encourage our state leadership, to exercise the sovereignty that Texas ought to be standing on," Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, Debra Medina, said.

Medina said another way to allow state leaders to get around federal laws is to nullify and interpose laws coming from Washington.
