100 % all in. Give power back to the individual, the way the founding fathers wanted it to be. I would also add make it unlawful for any govt. building to banish smoking.The new platform would call for:
Requiring Texas students “to learn about the humanity of the preborn child,” including teaching that life begins at fertilization and requiring students to listen to live ultrasounds of gestating fetuses.
Amending the Texas Constitution to remove the Legislature’s power “to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
Treating homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice,” language that was not included in the 2018 or 2020 party platforms.
Deeming gender identity disorder “a genuine and extremely rare mental health condition,” requiring official documents to adhere to “biological gender,” and allowing civil penalties and monetary compensation to “de-transitioners” who have received gender-affirming surgery, which the platform calls a form of medical malpractice.
Changing the U.S. Constitution to cement the number of Supreme Court justices at nine and repeal the 16th Amendment of 1913, which created the federal income tax.
Ensuring “freedom to travel” by opposing Biden’s Clean Energy Plan and “California-style, anti-driver policies,” including efforts to turn traffic lanes over for use by pedestrians, cyclists and mass transit.
Declaring “all businesses and jobs as essential and a fundamental right,” a response to COVID-19 mandates by Texas cities that required customers to wear masks and limited business hours.
Abolishing the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, and guaranteeing the right to use alternatives to cash, including cryptocurrencies.

So what?These patriots love America so much they have a provision to vote to secede from the Union in their platform.
Socialism? In Texas?Declaring “all businesses and jobs as essential and a fundamental right,”
I think you know better than that!Socialism? In Texas?
Tell Fauci that.I’d be open to limiting court justices but only if the amendment included term limits. There should be no such thing as a job for life in government.
Eye Patch McCain.... sounds about rightThey censured Cornyn for working on the Bipartisan gun legislation and physically assaulted Crenshaw for not being Qrazy enough...

maybe they could stop 250,000 illegals from crosssing there border thenThese patriots love America so much they have a provision to vote to secede from the Union in their platform.
The platform bullet basically says the government has no authority over commerce in an emergency, which is ludicrous.I think you know better than that!
Actually, I don't agree with all of their points, but this one is perhaps the area I most agree with. The government determining who is important and who is not to conduct trade is highly offensive to the principle of each person having the right to pursue happiness and conduct business on a level playing field.
I believe a person has the right to invest in whatever they want, to pursue an income for themselves, except for businesses where EVERYONE IS EQUALLY APPLIED TO THE LAW. We may prohibit anyone from conducting certain business, but to prohibit a mom and pop from selling paint from their store during the pandemic while other large vendors were permitted to do so is by definition picking winners and losers, something the government should not engage in outside of awarding specific contracts.
That point made here is not socialist, but extremely capitalist in nature.
There ended up being a problem where Wal-Mart could sell furniture because they also sold groceries but the furniture store couldn't sell furniture because they didn't sell groceries. The backlash is understandable. The government can never be perfect in an emergency, but this particular bullet point is far from ludicrous. The PPP loans can't account for a demand crisis anymore. Unless you're Wal-Mart.The platform bullet basically says the government has no authority over commerce in an emergency, which is ludicrous.
68. Jobs Are Essential: We urge the Texas State Legislature to adopt legislation that recognizes and establishes all businesses and jobs as essential and a fundamental right. Governments do not have the authority to determine what entities are essential during an emergency.
I would love them to declare jobs as a right.
I understand the backlash, the examples from you and d4fan make perfect sense. That's not what the bullet point says. It's saying the government doesn't have the authority, not that it should do a better job.There ended up being a problem where Wal-Mart could sell furniture because they also sold groceries but the furniture store couldn't sell furniture because they didn't sell groceries.

Govt, should have very little authority over anything: no. 1 the govt. is very good at screwing things up, no. 2 they apply their own political ideological ( or is that idiotological) spin on everything - green agenda is a good ex. Free markets are the best markets not govt. controlled markets.I understand the backlash, the examples from you and d4fan make perfect sense. That's not what the bullet point says.

Went so far right they ended up left.Socialism? In Texas?
You suck as a person and I hope you stub your toe.Texas Taliban!!!
Mature response. You don't think the platform is fairly extreme?You suck as a person and I hope you stub your toe.
What’s funny is it’s more mature than you downplaying what the actual Taliban does. If you want mature responses, start putting some actual and real thought into your posts. Less than 1% of your posts that are longer than 1-2 sentences are your actual thoughts. 99% of your posts are copy and paste jobs or throwing out one liners about Trump/Whatever Republican did something stupid. And you want mature responses? Grow up.Mature response. You don't think the platform is fairly extreme?

Did I say it wasn’t extreme? Oh right, I forgot you’re one of those partisan hacks who thinks if I don’t agree with everything you say, I think the opposite.
Texas GOP....getting more extreme:
Rejecting “the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and [holding] that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States” So What
Requiring students “to learn about the dignity of the preborn human,” including that life begins at fertilization So What

Requiring colleges to teach “free-market liberty principles” And?
Defending capital punishment Defend it and expand it
Dictating the ways in which the events at the Alamo are remembered Texans defended it and Santa Anna massacred them
Protecting Confederate monuments Destroying history is one of the worst things that can be done
Ending gay marriage Marriage is the responsibility of each state
Withdrawing from the United Nations and the World Health Organization Good
Calling for a vote “for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.” Their choice
Un-American is systematically stripping rights from the people and states. You People!Educating the masses with mainstream facts, articles and video. Is it the Taliban? No. Is it fairly extreme and UnAmerican? Yes.
This is the party platform...a lot of craziness including overturning an election, seceding from the union and rolling back civil rights.
