To the best of my knowledge, whether scrupulous or unscrupulous, EXBX began in Houston, Texas. At least, that is where I first learned of this venture. As a Texas native, I had faith in the pioneer spirit of the company.
In March, 1836, at the small settlement of Washington on the Brazos, Texas, a group of 59 representatives from established counties gathered to sign a Declaration of Independence from Mexico. The group was determined to divest themselves from tyrannical and unrepresentative control. A large Mexican Army was in the territory, determined to quash the rebellion.
184 volunteers stood at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas to confront the 1,500 Mexican troops advancing toward San Antonio. The dedicated Texans at the Alamo had no chance of survival. Colonels Travis, Bowie and Crocket chose to stay and fight with the dedicated volunteers. By March 6, 1836, the Alamo was overrun, and all of the men were killed.
The delaying action of the men at the Alamo gave the chance for the Republic of Texas to mount an offensive, and eventually defeated General Santa Anna’s Mexican Army at San Jacinto, Texas. The Republic of Texas was born. Thus became Texas, the only independent republic ever to eventually become a state of the Union.
I present these facts, as a Texan, because, and perhaps, there is a chance to defeat the tyranny of an unrepresentative board of directors, and return control of the company to a republic with the interest of the stockholders.
If you have invested in this company, I hope you support the effort for the independence of EXBX.
