Taught as a young boy in Pakistan to believe that he was inherently better than his sisters, Ziauddin rebelled against inequality at a young age.

The federal government is openly hostile toward the Texan people. Any attempt to drain the swamp, however valiant, is doomed to failure. If we cannot have authentic presidential elections, then the United States is no longer a constitutional republic. The US Constitution still exists on paper, but no longer exists in practice. If Texans want to live in a free and prosperous country, with limited government and the rule of law, they should be willing to consider independence from the federal regime. Peaceful, lawful secession will give Texans control over their own destinies.
