The following is from Reform Austin. Check out the Democrat wish list if they can flip the state. These items appeared on the Democrat primary ballot. No doubt these changes would destroy the Lone Star State in short order.
Texas has open primaries. This means any eligible registered voter can vote in either one of the two primaries, Democrat or Republican. If you vote in a primary, you are only eligible to vote in that same party’s primary runoff. If you did not vote in the primary, you can vote in any party’s primary runoff. In addition to candidates on the ballot, Texans will find nearly a dozen propositions come March 3 (or sooner if they vote early).
Each party’s state executive committee decides in the prior year what propositions they want on their primary’s ballot. Voters will agree or disagree with the props by selecting yes or no.
“Party ballot propositions are used to get a sense of the opinions of the most active party members at the ballot box,” University of Houston Political Science Professor Brandon Rottinghaus told Reform Austin
Following are the ballot propositions:
Proposition 1: Right to Health Care
Will the 2nd Amendment Be Destroyed By the Biden Admin?
Should everyone in Texas have a right to quality healthcare, protected by a universally accessible Medicare-style system that saves rural hospitals, reduces the cost of prescription drugs, and guarantees access to reproductive health care?
Proposition 2: Right to a 21st Century Public Education
Should everyone in Texas have the right to high-quality public education from pre-k to 12th grade, and affordable college and career training without the burden of crushing student loan debt?
Proposition 3: Right to Clean Air, Safe Water, and a Responsible Climate Policy
Should everyone in Texas have the right to clean air, safe water, affordable and sustainable alternative energy sources, and a responsible climate policy that recognizes and addresses the climate crisis as a real and serious threat that impacts every aspect of life on this planet?
Proposition 4: Right to Economic Security
Should everyone in Texas have the right to economic security, where all workers have earned paid family and sick leave, training to prepare for future economies, and a living wage that respects their hard work?
Proposition 5: Right to Dignity & Respect
Should everyone in Texas have the right to a life of dignity and respect, free from discrimination and harassment anywhere, including businesses and public facilities, no matter how they identify, the color of their skin, whom they love, socioeconomic status, disability status, housing status, or from where they come?
Proposition 6: Right to Be Free from Violence
Should everyone in Texas have the right to live a life free from violence—gun violence, racial hatred, terrorism, domestic violence, bullying, harassment or sexual assault—so Texans can grow in a safe environment?
Proposition 7: Right to Housing
Should everyone in Texas have the right to affordable and accessible housing and modern utilities (electricity, water, gas, and high-speed internet) free from any form of discrimination?
Proposition 8: Right to Vote
Should every eligible Texan have the right to vote, made easier by automatic voter registration, the option to vote by mail, guaranteed early and mobile voting stations, and a state election holiday — free from corporate campaign influence, foreign and domestic interference, and gerrymandering?
Proposition 9: Right to a Fair Criminal Justice System
Should everyone in Texas have the right to a fair criminal justice system that treats people equally, uses proven methods for de-escalating situations instead of excessive force, and puts an end to the mass and disproportionate incarceration of people of color for minor offenses?
Proposition 10: Immigrant Rights
Should there be a just and fair comprehensive immigration reform solution that includes an earned path to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants and their children, keeps families together, protects DREAMers, and provides workforce solutions for businesses?
Proposition 11: Right to Fair Taxation
Should Texas establish equitable taxation for people at all income levels and for businesses and corporations, large and small, so our state government can fund our educational, social, infrastructure, business, and all government services to improve programs necessary for all Texans to thrive?
Texas Democrats said the outcome of the votes on these propositions will “guide our party, our campaigns, and our movement in the 2020 election.”
