This is simply an FYI for anyone interested in reading the five propositions that appear on the Republican ballot for the May 29, 2012, primary. Available here and here.
Ballot Proposition #1: School Choice
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child’s school, public or private, while also saving significant taxpayer dollars. YES or NO
Ballot Proposition #2: Repealing Obamacare
Congress should immediately repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare) and reject the rationing of healthcare by government or the intrusion by government into the doctor-patient relationship. YES or NO
Ballot Proposition #3: Public Prayer
Government should be prohibited from restricting the content of public prayer. YES or NO
Ballot Proposition #4: Balanced Budget/Controlling Government Growth
Out of control spending should be stopped at all levels of federal and state government through constitutional amendments limiting any increase in government spending to the combined increase of population and inflation, requiring voter approval. YES or NO
Ballot Proposition #5: Redistricting
The Texas Legislature should redraw the court-imposed lines for Congress and State legislative districts in its upcoming session in order to remedy inequities. YES or NO
They won't bind anyone, but they might serve as a reminder to the people who get elected of what's important to the people they are supposed to represent.
This is nothing short of a joke
