Clear Lake Tea Party welcomes your request for our input and are looking forward to working closely with the newly formed Freedom Caucus of Texas. Please let us know how we can help you. We have listed our legislative priorities below and have noted with each one the Principles from the RPT Platform which we believe that priority points to and which we expect our elected officials to uphold. The Freedom Caucus, thankfully, is filled with our Texas Representatives who understand and approve of the RPT Platform. It never hurts to remind the ones who don’t. Please contact us if you have questions or comments for the Clear Lake Tea Party Board. We look forward to being called upon for whatever support you require.
We believe in : The sanctity of innocent human life, created in the image of God, should be protected from fertilization to natural death.
The most innocent of life deserves the protection of their fellow man and countrymen
We believe in: Self sufficient families, founded on the traditional marriage of a natural man and a natural woman.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. 1st amendment rights must be protected for our citizens.
We believe in: “The laws of nature and nature’s God” and we support the strict adherence to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutions of the United States and of Texas.dd
Private property rights are embedded in the Constitution and in the hearts of Americans. The debt created by entities grasping at controlling our property taxes is unsustainable.
We believe in: “The laws of nature and nature’s God” and we support the strict adherence to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutions of the United States and of Texas.
We believe in: Having an educated population, with parents having the freedom of choice for the education of their children.ist
Trustees are trained by corporate lobbyists and the same corporations fund the PaCS which push the bonds. This must stop. The debt we are leaving to the following generations is unsustainable
We believe in: Americans having the right to be safe in their homes, on their streets, and in their communities; and the unalienable right to defend themselves.
We believe in: Preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom.
A nation or a state without control of its borders will have a difficult time protecting the sovereignty which protects its citizens. We should know who is in our neighborhoods and our cities and on our roads.
We believe in: A free enterprise society unencumbered by government interference or subsidies.
Texans pay for infrastructure and perpetual taxation is not a Texas value. Texans also should own outright the roads we pay for with our taxes.
We believe in: “The laws of nature and nature’s God” and we support the strict adherence to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutions of the United States and of Texas.
We believe in: Preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom.
Only citizens of our state and our nation must be allowed to vote in our elections. And the integrity of those elections must be unquestionable
We believe in: Preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom.
We trust Texas and Texans to protect our citizens from the damage caused by EMPs whether natural or attacks by another country.
We believe in: A free enterprise society unencumbered by government interference or subsidies.
Taxation must be brought before the taxpayers for approval. The unsustainable debt levels will be a burden on future generations.
