On Abortion:
Life is life! We cannot choose!
RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE: Respect for human life is the fundamental value of our society in which all people would want to live. Human life is sacred, not just in the creation of life, but the sustaining of life. One cannot begin to speak
of life when they expose human beings to grave risks or harm their physical integrity and deprive them of the basic necessities to sustain life.{LIFE IS LIFE! WE CAN NOT CHOOSE}
RESPECT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY:
Respect for human dignity is the human rights framework that establishes that "ALL" deserve respect. Respect for human dignity plays a crucial role in attaining a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Our lives have an unimpeachable value simply because "WE" are human.
{DIGNITY IS THE FRAMEWORK OF HUMANITY}

On Civil Rights:
Include people from varied backgrounds for policy diversity
Policy diversity is the practice or quality of including and involving people from different social and ethnic backgrounds, of different genders or sexual orientation.
Diversity means practicing mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own. We must become sensitive to issues of other people's values, beliefs culture, language and religion.

PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTABILITY: In a democracy, the principle of accountability holds that those that have been given authority, the responsibility to serve the citizenry.
That responsibility must have morally based obligations and duties to "ALL" and not "SOME."

On Crime:
WE THE PEOPLE have been stripped of constitutional rights
Texas has been for many years engaged in deceptive and discriminatory practices that have stripped many people of their constitutional rights.We have had a one-sided plan that benefits those in power but forgets about WE THE PEOPLE. We've seen back
door legislation that interfere with our health care by making laws that make it harder for injured people to use class action rules that can expose widespread harms of dangerous products, makes it easier for corporations to get a judge to dismiss an
injured American's case before it gets to trial, bar cases by saying the injured assumed the risk, alter rules, deter lawsuits by punishing injured Americans by requiring them to pay corporate attorneys' fees if jury award a significantly lower
settlement, bar injured Americans from getting any damages from corporations whose products injure them, allow doctors who have histories of alcohol and drug abuse, rape, sexual assault, and murder to practice medicine, with no legal recourse.

On Drugs:
Community-based alternatives instead of mandatory minimums
We've seen back door legislation that alter rules, deter lawsuits by punishing injured Americans by requiring them to pay corporate attorneys' fees if jury award a significantly lower settlement, bar injured Americans from getting any damages
from corporations whose products injure them, allow doctors who have histories of alcohol and drug abuse, rape, sexual assault, and murder to practice medicine, with no legal recourse.
Back door legislation interferes with our criminal system by increasing time served for drug offenses through mandatory minimum sentencing, creating barriers to alternatives to prison such
as community-based corrections programs, making it a felony to steal from retail establishments, regardless of the value of the property stolen.

On Government Reform:
Texas has a 150 year history of voter suppression
Back door legislation in voting creates significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their right to vote. Texas passed the strictest laws pertaining to Voter ID laws. Texas has a 150 year history of voter suppression, purging voter rolls,
forcing polling places to close, creating long lines at polling places, making voter registration difficult, stopping the expansion of mail-in voting, and diluting voting power of minority groups by racial gerrymandering.

On Tax Reform:
One-sided power makes tax cuts for the wealthy permanent
We have had a one-sided plan that benefits those in power but forgets about WE THE PEOPLE. We've seen back door legislation that makes it easier for corporations to get a judge to dismiss an injured American's case before it gets to trial, bar cases by
saying the injured assumed the risk, alter rules, deter lawsuits by punishing injured Americans by requiring them to pay corporate attorneys' fees if jury award a significantly lower settlement, and bar injured
Americans from getting any damages from corporations whose products injure them.Back door legislation makes tax cuts for the wealthy permanent, makes it easier of tax cheaters to
get away with ripping off the public by removing incentives for investigating and prosecuting tax cheats, allowing a small amount of legislators to thwart tax increases by amending state constitutions.
