It's a popular idea in Texas that the Lone Star State — once an independent republic — could break away and go it alone. A few years ago, Texas Gov. Rick Perry hinted that if Washington didn't stop meddling in his state, independence might be an option. In his brief run for the White House, he insisted that nearly anything the feds do, the states — and Texas in particular — could do better.

So we're putting Perry's suggestions to the test — NPR is liberating Texas. We asked scholars, business leaders, diplomats, journalists and regular folk to help us imagine an independent Texas based on current issues before the state.

If that were to happen, I wonder how many more of us Okies would likely try to move south? We have considered it ourselves. We visit Texas frequently.

I was born and raised here, nobody and no organization could make me leave the plot im on now. But I believe texas would be a successful country.
