No, we didn't secede, but Texans can still make a stand

The State Republican Executive Committee received a Texas-size share of media attention for its 16-34 defeat of a motion to allow a secession resolution on the upcoming Primary election ballot.

But did you know there are still some important, though non-binding, questions to appear on the March 1 ticket? Here they are ...
Proposition 1. Texas should replace the property tax system with an alternative other than an income tax and require voter approval to increase the overall tax burden. 
Proposition 2. Texas cities and counties should be required to comply with federal immigration laws or be penalized by loss of state funds. 
Proposition 3. Texas should prohibit governmental entities from collecting dues for labor unions through deductions from public employee paychecks. 
Proposition 4. Texas and its citizens should strongly assert 10th Amendment Rights guranteed by the U.S. Constitution, which states "The powers not delegated to the United States by this Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respetively, or to the people."
(Approved by the SREC, 12/5/15)
