Related: About this forumThe Texas GOP is full of RWNJs-Look at their primary ballot propositions
Texas election law allows each party to put non-binding resolutions/ballot questions on their primary ballots. I started looking at these when I was a poll watcher for the Obama voter protection team in 2008. The Texas Democratic Party did not put any resolutions on the ballot this year which is good. (the Democratic primary ballot in Harris County needed two cards to handle the 90+ races on the ballot).
The Texas GOP is full of RWNJs and the questions on this year ballot are scary https://texasgop.org/republican-primary-ballot-propositions/
Keep in mind that this is an opinion poll of Republican voters and not a policy referendum. You are not voting to make a law but merely saying YES you agree or NO you do not agree with the statement.
1.) In light of the federal governments refusal to defend the southern border, Texas should immediately deploy the National Guard, Texas Military Forces, and necessary state law enforcement to seal the border, enforce immigration laws, and deport illegal aliens.
2.) Texas should eliminate all property taxes within ten (10) years without implementing a state income tax.
3.) Texans should not lose their jobs, nor should students be penalized, for declining a COVID-19 vaccine.
4.) Texas schools should teach students basic knowledge and American exceptionalism and reject Critical Race Theory and other curricula that promote Marxist doctrine and encourage division based on creed, race, or economic status.
5.) Texas should enact a State Constitutional Amendment to defend the sanctity of innocent human life, created in the image of God, from fertilization until natural death.
6.) The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature should end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats.
7.) Texas should protect the integrity of our elections by verifying that registered voters are American citizens, restoring felony penalties and enacting civil penalties for vote fraud, and fighting any federal takeover of state elections.
8.) Texas should ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgery on all minor children for sex transition purposes.
9.) Texas parents and guardians should have the right to select schools, whether public or private, for their children, and the funding should follow the student.
10.) Texans affirm that our freedoms come from God and that the government should have no control over the conscience of individuals.
