Texas Scorecard By Jeramy Kitchen December 6, 2021

In addition to candidates for elected office, Republican voters will get a chance to vote on 10 ballot propositions.

Over the weekend, the Texas State Republican Executive Committee convened for one of their quarterly meetings and, among other items of business, approved 10 ballot propositions which will appear on the Republican primary election ballot for the March 1, 2022 primary.

The outcome of these propositions will be used to help guide the party’s policy priorities with regard to the distinct legislative priorities and party platform as determined by delegates in the state convention.

Republican voters will have the option to vote in favor or in opposition to the following ballot propositions:

1.   Border Security

    “In light of the federal government’s 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.   Eliminate Property Tax

    “Texas should eliminate all property taxes within ten (10) years without implementing a state income tax.”

3.   Vaccine Mandate

    “Texans should not lose their job nor students be penalized for declining a COVID-19 vaccine.”

4.   Parents’ Rights and Critical Race Theory

    “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.   Right to Life

“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.   Committee Chairs

    “The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature should end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats.”

7.   Election Integrity

    “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.   Gender Modification

    “Texas should ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgery on all minor children for sex transition purposes.”

9.   Parental Educational Relief

    “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.   Freedom of Conscience

    “Texans affirm that our freedoms come from God and that the government should have no control over the conscience of individuals.”

2.   Eliminate Property Tax

    “Texas should eliminate all property taxes within ten (10) years without implementing a state income tax.”  This will kill the state budgets and I am afraid it will result in a VAT coming along which is regressive.  In any case, if property taxes are eliminated, it should only apply to Texas residents who have been residents of the state for at least a year.

3.   Vaccine Mandate

    “Texans should not lose their job nor students be penalized for declining a COVID-19 vaccine.”  YES

4.   Parents’ Rights and Critical Race Theory

    “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.”  YES

Disappointed TEXIT is not somewhere contained within, as well as a much firmer stance that the state will uphold the 10th Amendment by nullifying any and all federal actions it solely discerns as undermining its authority under the Constitution.
