If homeschooled, the money would follow the student in the form of a tax credit or direct payment to the parents.

The Governor of Texas cannot grant access to something outlawed by a previous legislature. It would take the new legislature drafting a new bill to repeal past law. If that new bill respected the right to choose but did not force anyone to pay for others' medical decisions, I would sign it.

Under school choice, public schools should be treated like any other school and must compete for funding that follows the student.

The Democratic and Republican primaries are funded by taxpayer money and third-party filing fees. They are also supported by the corporate media who only trumpets the candidates who buy ads on their stations.

You are correct every nation has a right to sovereign territory and it is the federal governmentâs duty and obligation to pass comprehensive immigration reform and secure our borders.

The real question is would Beto be willing to endorse me for the freedom and liberty of Texans?

I would like to believe the person coming at me at 90 mph knows how to drive. In comparison, as a private pilot, it is important for me to know that all pilots know what we are doing. Itâs a good way for the government to ensure others donât infringe on each other's rights.

I never advocate for the use or abuse of any substance or alcohol, however as an individual I do not surrender my autonomy or free agency to any government to dictate to me what I can or cannot consume.

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, I believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.â
I agree there are a lot of reckless, greedy, and negligent people, however, your right to bear arms to defend yourself against those individuals âshall not be infringedâ.

I am running to give power back to the people, not because of critiques of any particular candidates. https://youtu.be/oWdRNGk9xAA
I am not worthy but as my father would say, âI will do the job until a worthy man comes.â

Unless there is a Texas constitutional amendment, the state is mandated to fund education, therefore taxes for education would not be cut. There are many areas in which we can cut spending and taxes and one of them is to stop giving corporate welfare in the number of millions of dollars to large corporations.

If a parent wishes to send their children to a religious school the funding allocated for that student should follow the student.

I agree we need a better government. One that does not lie to us and feed us false information filled with a political agenda. One that gives us good recommendations for the benefit of all.

The role of government should only be there to defend from foreign invasion and intervene when one person violates the rights of another.
Our past history regardless of how ugly it was should be taught to all of our kids. Lest we forget the horrors and atrocities of our past.
Absolutely! Old men should not be legislating morality for women.
The 1st amendment clearly states that âcongress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereofâ. Taxing it would be prohibiting free exercise.

Until we have tax reform on the issue, the funding will come from the same place and manner as it currently does.
