_Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista_ by Matthew Bracken:
http://www.amazon.com/Domestic-Enemies-Reconquista-Matthew-Bracken/dp/0972831029/
Book number two of a three book series. I thought that this was a POD (print on demand) series but it is not, the book that I
purchased is in its sixth printing. The book is a 544 page trade paperback so it is heavy enough to be used as a weapon in the
future if needful.
This is a series about a possible dystopian future of the USA due to financial failure of the dollar. The attempt to reboot the
dollar has failed and the USA is splintering into various regions. The book is specifically about the California to Texas region
which is transitioning into the country of Aztlan.
The author is fairly heavy handed on shoving things in the readers face but, this is the book for that approach. The reader of this
book should not be surprised to see anything presented here.
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (417 reviews)

Based just on that name, I'd say it's time to leave.

I find the idea that Texas and California would be connected in a new
nation to be pretty absurd.

Actually, I was imprecise in my notes.

Texas is split in two, halfway between I-35 and I-45. South and west Texas go to the new country of Aztlan. Central and east Texas
form the new country of Texas.
Pick your sides accordingly.

"Yes, that is /relatively/ less ludicrous than what
was said before, but it is still ludicrous, isn't it!"
Acronyms are so compact and expressive, no wonder that
they are taking over our online written language [*];
how many of us type?
