The 11 Proposed Amendments To The Texas Constitution

A few quick notes to Texans: I will vote for none of these, just as I have not voted for previous proposed amendments of the past decade of elections.

The Legislature needs to buckle-down and do its job for the people of Texas.

The Texas Constitution has been amended more times than the U.S. Constitution.

It is time to rewrite the entire Texas Constitution instead of every two years adding amendments to it.

If a house is built on an imperfect foundation, you do not consistently add on to that structure. You rebuild the foundation and then the house won’t need as many amendments to it and can handle any add-ons better.

These never-ending proposed amendments are symptoms of a failing statewide political and legislative system.

I recommend voting “No” on each of these 11 items and demand that our elected legislators rewrite the constitution so that it is structurally sound.

Unfortunately, most amendments are approved by Texas voters, who really do not comprehend the issues because they are being manipulated and deceived by legislators and their special interests; however, it is up to Texans to send a message to their legislators to fix the constitution and quit adding-on to it.
