Campaign site

Quote: According to his campaign website, Kilgore's "passion for secession is fueled by his enmity and heartbreak towards the evils of abortion, both excessive and unlawful taxation, and social security. His desire to free Texas ran so deep that in December of 2012 he legally changed his middle name to SECEDE and has been fervently advocating for secession ever since."

• End Social Security

Cons

• Strong believer in Texas as a soveriegn nation.  While interesting, this is unrealistic and could also be extremely risky and even dangerous.
