Only when the life of the child or mother is in certain danger.

Strongly Agree

Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with parenthood, it has to do with planning and executing an abortion.

Strongly Disagree

Assisted Suicide leads to society accepting euthanasia.

I agree with the Republican Party of Texas that property taxes should be abolished. Government is too big already. Taxes should be cut, simplified, and made voluntary wherever possible.

Texas has a balanced budget and in fact has a regular "surplus" of excess revenue. Texas Government is growing at an outrageous pace. I would strictly limit spending growth, force agencies to submit plans for 5%, 10%, and 15% cuts, and adopt regular cuts to unncessary bureaucracy. Doing only this, within a decade or less, we would have enough excess revenue to fully fund our schools and eliminate local school maintenance and operation property taxes. I would additionally eliminate all corporate handout programs, and seek to eliminate any bureaucracy that produces only red tape and that does not directly serve the people of Texas.

John Adams once said, our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. No one should be forced to do something that they morally or religiously object to.

There are no circumstances.

I'm actually against all federally funded healthcare, although Medicare and Medicaid have been in place so long that many older people rely on it. I'm afraid if it were eliminated without some sort of alternative for low income and Social Security recipients would not get the healthcare needed. I do think that medicare should be voluntary though and should only be offered to those who financially cannot afford healthcare. Compulsory government healthcare is slavery. What we need is an actual market in healthcare, with price transparency and competition. Right now the insurance companies rig the system against the consumer and everyone but them suffer.

There are no circumstances that any of the above should be allowed to require vaccinations. What goes into your body should be your decision.

Perhaps we could quit meddling in the affairs of the Middle East and other Islamic states that would be a great first step. Shutting down our border and stopping the wave of illegal border crossings would help a great deal for our Country.

Strongly Disagree

Again, we need to quit meddling in affairs of others.

Strongly Agree

We need to shut the border down totally. All traffic even across the main entry bridges that allow commerce. Once the trucks stop coming across the border we have a bargaining chip with the countries south of our border to use to get them to curtail the mass influx of people coming to our border. I would further say we need to address the elephant in the room and that's the drug cartels who control the whole border. That situation is a bit harder to solve, but they need to be eradicated.

People who come legally and are vetted. Immigrants should be committed to American values. One of those values is the rule of law. Illegal aliens reject American values by rejecting the rule of law. Moreover, our immigration policy should serve the interest of the American people first, not foreign interests, foreign people, or domestic business interests.

Strongly Agree

Again I go back to John Adams quote, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Strongly Disagree

There are two Genders Male and Female. Your chromosomes determine which you are. No discussion.

Strongly Agree

To say the all people of color are oppressed but saying that all white people are oppressors is wrong and not true. You have realize that CRT is Marxist ideology. If you research Critical Theory you'll find it emerged from the Frankfurt School in Germany and can be traced to Marx's critiques of the economy and society. Sociologists created this theory and CRT is just a modified rehash of it.

God is the creator and controls everything. We must put our trust in him. I like to try to just follow one simple thing that Jesus told the Rabbis who were trying to trick him when they asked him what was the greatest commandment. Jesus replied, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." Unfortunately, we are all sinners and even that simple statement is very hard to stay true to, but if we all try we'll find our differences and objections will melt away.

Strongly Disagree

I cannot understand why we would promote voter fraud by allowing anyone to vote who is not verified.

First and foremost I would make the penalties for voter fraud very harsh. Too much voter fraud occurs in this Country and much of it can be eliminated. I know of someone who researched the last election on their own and found over 250 votes who were registered at the same address, which was a small house. That is not a hard thing to prevent with today's technology. I think photo ID's are good idea to stop a lot of the fraud. I also believe we have become lazy and we have too many days of early voting and we need to just go back to election day voting only. Mail in ballots should only be for those who actually need them such as the elderly, housebound, and military.

No. But the agitators who try to make everything about race are working to disrupt the unity of the American people.

Strongly Disagree

Environmental laws are strict enough. Stricter laws are promoted by those who intentionally want to destroy job-creating industries.

Agree

The government was established for six reasons, which are unity, domestic tranquility, justice, defense, promotion of the general welfare of the people and securing liberty for all.

I am just a regular person. I go to work everyday. I pump my own gas. I go to the grocery store. I pay bills and taxes that seem to rise faster than my wages. I'm not a career politician and do not plan to become one. As for legislative priorities in the State of Texas, Republicans have had the majority for 20 years. Yet they have failed to pass conservative and liberty-advancing reforms called for in the Texas GOP platform. My legislative priorities are to get everything on the State GOP priority lists passed and to stop helping Democrats pass theirs. We have too many career politicians who serve decade upon decade, yet never actually pass any meaningful legislation that improves the lives of Texans. They don't address these hot button issues for the sole reason of using them to raise money for their next election. This is the sole problem with our dysfunctional government. We need more citizen legislators to step up and run for office and replace the politicians who desire the power and fame of office. Our political structure that was created by the founding fathers was not created to encourage career politicians.

Strongly Agree

Police officers have a very difficult job to do, worrying about prosecution for doing their job only limits their ability to do it.

Strongly Disagree

I'm not sure where this idea of defunding the police came from. I do know that it would be a disaster. My opinion is keep the police and defund the federal government.

The restrictions in the second amendment are for the government. Unfortunately, people have lost the original purpose of the Constitution. The Constitution was written as a contract between government and the people. Yes we need to be vigilant and make sure the people with mental problems do not have access to anything that can harm them or others, but is this primarily the government's job? It seems that this responsibility lies with family and friends which goes back to the people. To the extent any person cannot be trusted with a firearm, that means that person is a danger to society - not the firearm. We should not leave violent people on the streets and expect them not to find something they can fashion into a weapon.

Strongly Disagree

I don't remember a time that an automobile manufacturer was sued because someone ran their car through a crowd of people. No knife manufacturers have ever been sued for stabbing offenses. Why is that? Common sense shows us that a car is not responsible for someone with mental illness ramming their car through a crowd of people. When someone uses a knife to stab another person, we know that the knife isn't responsible, someone had to hold it and use it that way. The same is true with firearms.
