Texas State Representative, District 96 — VOTE411 Voter Guide The Texas House of Representatives is the lower house of the Texas Legislatures, composed of 150 members elected from single-member districts.

Such a simple platform.
Who would want to limit other's freedom to live their own lives?

Is it common knowledge that both the Texas Democratic party and Texas Republican party work actively using civil law to bar other candidates from ballot access?
Maybe it should be.

Residents are not in a position to prevent government bloat. We need smaller government, and we need it starting today.

Fort Worth school board adopts tax rate boost for budget that includes raises of 2%

For those who reside in Fort Worth city limits, consider voting in the runoff today to insist on more accountability in the FW PD.

DON'T forget Atatiana Jefferson
DON'T forget Cody Wayne Seals
DON'T forget Jermaine Darden
DO ask why FWPD needed to spend tax dollars for an armored personnel carrier.

Vote "Against" the proposed CCPD sales tax hike if you want to see more change and better accountability.

What is the CCPD?
The CCPD is a half cent sales tax levied by the City of Fort Worth to fund policing initiatives
(on top of the property taxes paid to the City, and on top of the General Fund Sales Tax).

Why Vote “NO”?
Fort Worth City Council and Fort Worth Police Department need to have a serious conversation about their policing policies before getting more money from taxpayers.

This extra funding will expand SWAT and police presence without expanding oversight and accountability for inappropriate uses of force.

We should first advocate for evidence-based community policing that will not violate the rights of citizens.

Local sales tax will decrease by 25% if this tax is not re-authorized. Vote NO!

It's time to end corporate welfare in Texas! Corporations don't need public bribe money and tax breaks to turn a profit, it happens naturally in a free market.

Well put words!
We must be careful as a society not to replace authority vested in kings and priests with that of doctors and lawyers.
No offense intended toward doctors and lawyers. The are incredibly important to societal good, just not important enough to be in charge of making decisions for everyone else.

Government officials should have to read this Senator Rand Paul quote every morning when they get to work.

Waiting to see practical outcomes from the recent protests? Take a look at some local grassroots efforts at limiting out of control police spending.

Reining in Police Spending Around a dozen activists representing a wide range of political affiliations gathered recently at a restaurant on the Near Southside to discuss the CCPD.

What is "Qualified Immunity" and why does it pose a danger to all citizens and especially those of racial and social minority?

If you agree to the simple premise that all individuals, regardless of occupation in law enforcement or otherwise, shall be held to the same rule of criminal law, please take a 5 minute break to write your US Representative in support of this proposed "End Qualified Immunity" bill. Read the attached letter for more information about this bill and how you can easily act in support of it. I just did!

It needn't be complicated, because if a law is important enough to put in place, it's important enough to apply to everyone.

I believe he admires the Napoleanic approach.

Our President, once again, seems to be woefully ignorant of our nation's laws, given his suggestion of him ordering Federally controlled military into some States.

Corporations don't need publicly funded incentives to be profitable. Let them do their own fundraising like our other institutions do.

No more bailouts!

Citizens continuing to persevere under difficult conditions. Tune in Monday night to see just some of the candidates for president. The nomination is currently set for the 22nd, so this could possibly be the last opportunity for debate.

Lest we forget the numbers, the current US deaths attributable to the novel Coronavirus in 2020 by Dept of Health is 80,682 today, which is 1/3 the total deaths attributable to medical malpractice in 2016. Neither is insignificant and should not be marginalized, but perspective is everything.

Easy to overlook.

Never.

There will be opportunities in these trying times. I know people who have great experiences with this company, they are hiring soon for those needing employment leads.

Government "protecting your health".

When we said it about Afghanistan, "they deserved it" so many replied.
When we said it about Syria, "they're only targeting the 'bad guys' ", feeling justified.
Solemani in Iraq? - "he was violating contract"

Well, it's here now. And we're all subject to this thanks to the elevated police state measures in 3 recent acts of Congress.
Please understand it's not a partisan battle, these bills all passed with healthy majorities.

If everyone agrees, there can't be anything wrong with it, right?

When governments pick favorites through subsidies, there will always be losers sooner or later. Keep in mind the effects of these handouts will extend well beyond the scope of the current crises and will negatively impact free market forces for an unknown period.
The Treasury assuredly does not have $2 trillion in its' back pocket ready for this action and it must come from somewhere; most likely future income taxes.
By offering a short-term bribe to the taxpayers, federal entities are assuring their continued persistence through a mutually parasitic partnership.

Is suspension of habeas corpus and support of detention without criminal charges really something the people are asking for?
These are remarkable events unfolding before us now.

Beware the emergency power grab The Trump administration just showed civil libertarians' fears are extremely warranted

We are being deceived! And it's time we all acknowledge it.
Despite what the headlines may say, rather than meeting to address the health concerns that they claim are their priority, the US Senate instead seizes the opportunity to try to pass their latest pet projects to seize more control over our privacy and independence.
Please consider taking a look at this page and use it to write your representatives to protest the EARN It Act (S 3398), authored by senators Graham and Blumenthal.
If it is passed, would force tech companies by law to turn over encryption keys and other privacy mechanisms to certain government entities in the stated interest of preventing child trafficking. Using this as the claim, they would at last have their long sought prize of written legal permission to scan every communication you or I send, even if it's encrypted.
As you can see, it has bipartisan support because sitting politicians of both sides stand to gain directly from blocking any impediments to their continued re-election and other power grabs.

Protect our Speech and Security Online: Reject the Graham-Blumenthal Bill Members of Congress have mounted a major threat to your freedom of speech and security online. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) recently introduced a bill that would undermine key protections for Internet speech in U.S. law. It would also expose providers of the private m...

Just bear in mind -
once we as citizens voluntarily surrender our autonomy, it will not be easy to get it back.

Skip those long lines today and come out next week to help decide the future!
When speaking to others locally I find the election structure and rules in Texas are not well known. This is evidence that the Old parties want to "help" you choose who your vote is, and do not respect your opinion enough to leave elections open to everyone.
