Going Viral: Billboard In Texas Panhandle Grabbing Attention

A billboard next to I-40 in the western part of the Texas panhandle is causing a lot of controversy online.

"Liberals," the billboard reads, "Please continue on I-40 until you have left our GREAT STATE OF TEXAS."

Vega, the small town where the billboard is located, is about halfway between Amarillo and the Texas and New Mexico border.
