This year, on November 8th, Texans will go to the polls for a special election to decide on TEN proposed amendments to our State Constitution. Early voting is October 24th through November 4th.

I've found two THREE really
good sources for an analysis of how these amendments should be understood.
The 1st site is from
the "Texas Eagle". (CLICK HERE)
The 2nd site is from
"Empower Texans". (CLICK HERE)
UPDATE: 3rd site is the League of Women Voters group, who has just published their in-depth analysis of the ten amendments. This is an excellent overview including all of the pro's and con's of each proposed amendment. (CLICK HERE)

it, and take it with you to the polls!
My personal opinion: Most of these amendments have been authored by democrats. I am always leery of any democrat-sponsored bill, and even more so, when they offer amendments to our state constitution! Most of the democrat-sponsored amendments are nothing but spending increases or government over-reaching power grabs. Shocker, huh? Pay attention to the authors of these amendments!!! I will be using the sample ballot, to help guide my decisions at the polls. If you are also a conservative who favors spending CUTS, deficit reduction, and smaller government in general, then you should do the same. I trust the source of both websites offering the analysis of these amendments.
The one thing that troubles me the most is with Propositions 2 & 3, where they ATTEMPT to bypass the voters each year - That's you and me! They want to side-step public scrutiny of their spending habits. NOT ON MY WATCH!! The other thing that troubles me is in Proposition 4, where they want more power and authority for counties to grab land for re-development purposes. This would be a nightmare scenario. Look up "Agenda 21". You'll understand!
