1. Secure Texas Elections

To safeguard election integrity, to ensure that only eligible citizens participate, to promote transparency, and to restore public trust in Texas elections.

2. Don’t Sharia Our Texas

Texas government must stop Sharia Law by declaring that Sharia Law is an incompatible, seditious, subversive, competing enemy system in opposition to the Texas and U.S. Constitutions.

3. Completely Eliminate All Property Tax

We call on the Legislature to immediately develop and implement a plan that eliminates property taxes for all property owners: the plan should be a net tax cut, thus requiring fiscal discipline, zero-based budgeting, and spending restraint at all levels of government.

4. Ban Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Prohibit all forms of taxpayer-funded lobbying by any taxing entity, including the use of tax dollars to hire lobbyists, direct use contractors, third parties, and non-elected public employees who are registered lobbyists.

5. Secure Texas Grid, Water, Energy, Agriculture, and Property Sovereignty

Protect the Texas grid, water, energy, agriculture, and property from foreign-adversary threats, large-scale water export, and the loss of Texas farmland and infrastructure to adversary ownership or control.

6. Border Enforcement

To secure the Texas border, strengthen immigration enforcement, deter illegal immigration, and protect Texas taxpayers and sovereignty.

7. Protect Texas Kids

To protect Texas children, strengthen families, and ensure safe schools, including screening of school employees and respect for marriage, family unity, and parental rights.

8. Protect life

We call on lawmakers to affirm the sanctity of every human life, created in the image of God, by securing the right to life and equal protection under the law from the moment of fertilization until natural death.
