Legislative Priorities Report

Legislative Priorities Report for December 11, 2020

 

A pertinent question for our state legislators is: Do Republican voters in our
districts really care about the Legislative Priorities?

 

Let’s look at the facts. 

 

The current eight priorities <[link removed]> have been
addressed not only at our Texas Republican State Convention, but also on the
last two Republican primary ballots. Here is how the Republican voters have
responded statewide to the top three Legislative Priorities:

 

Election Integrity- 1,953, 946  -- 98.46%

Religious Freedom-1,580,091 – 89.44% (average of 2020 and 2018)

Children and Gender Modification (abolition) –1,869,742 -- 94.65

 

Almost 2 million people in the state of Texas favor citizenship verification
and consequences for those who cheat in our elections. Over 1.5 million people
believe that Texas individuals, organizations, and businesses should be able to
practice their sincerely held religious beliefs, and that there should be no
ordinances, laws, or executive orders that violate their rights. And, when it
comes to the physical and mental health of children, again, close to two
million people agree that children should not have healthy body parts removed
or be given hormones and puberty blockers in an attempt at human
experimentation.

 

Banning Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying is the sole exception, simply because it was
not a ballot proposition. The remaining Legislative Priorities all have a
similar level of response, ranging from over a million to just under 2 million. 

 

The Priorities were specifically chosen this past summer at the Republican
State Convention, where delegates ranked their choices from a list of 15. All
of the issues represented came to the convention’s Legislative Priority
Committee from resolutions passed beginning in individual precincts, through a
district convention, and finally arriving at the state convention. So many
thousands of individual Republican voters expressed their will regarding each
priority, before they even hit the vote at the state convention. There, they
were ranked by about 5,000 grassroots delegates.

 

Finally, these Legislative Priorities all have a common theme. They each are
rooted in the principles articulated in the Republican Party Platform:
Unalienable rights endowed by God, embodied in freedom, personal
responsibility, and limited government power. Republicans believe life is
sacred, and God has created us male and female intentionally, and that children
should not be subjected to medical and psychological abuse by being directed to
hate their own bodies. 

 

So, the answer to the question is clear: our Legislative Priorities are
important. They are logical demands of our lawmakers who ran on our Republican
brand.

 

This weekend, as we hold our Quarterly SREC Meeting, we want to offer a
special thank you toRadiation Detection Company, Inc. <[link removed]>

For God and Texas,
