Despite the half-truths, misdirection and outright lies often painted of our organization by the corprate-controlled mainstream news media, the Texas Nationalist Movement is not some band of whacked-out tax protesters, supremacists or religious bigots. Our members come from across all segments of Texas society -- all races, all ethnicities, all religions, all political beliefs and all individual orientations. We have only one goal: to re-establish Texas as a free an independent Republic and allow its citizens to govern themselves.

The goal of the Texas National Press is to provide an unbiased public forum for members of the movement, and holds itself to high journalistic standards in pursuit of that goal.
