LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

Texas Eagle Forum’s Legislative Priorities for the 89th Session of the Texas Legislature

Secure Border & Immigration Enforcement

We support the Trump team’s federal effort to stop illegal immigration. We will support bills that help us protect our own Texas border or add stronger border control language to our state laws. We encourage the enforcement of the Texas laws already in place.

Secure Our Elections

We will secure our elections by advocating for transparent, verifiable processes: hand-marked paper ballots, counted where cast, and voting in precincts only. Mail ballots must be limited to the truly disabled, military personnel, and overseas voters. We support shortening the early voting period with no gap before Election Day. We will support all efforts that ensure that our voter rolls include only qualified voters.

Education Issues

We must eliminate destructive Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), which is designed to indoctrinate children to rely on their feelings and emotions rather than reason and fact. We will support a parental opt-in requirement for any effort made, by any method, to elicit information from a child regarding an attitude, habit, trait, opinion, belief, feeling, or attempts to diagnose or predict the child’s mental health condition.

We will monitor and weigh in on school choice bills. These bills acknowledge that we have major problems at our public schools and Texas Eagle Forum believes the best solution is to focus on reinventing public education in Texas by embracing the time-tested classical model, which is proven to produce well-educated, self-sufficient young adults. If any school choice bill is ever passed, it should be universally offered to all children and it should save taxpayers significant money, not cost them more.

Protect Childhood Innocence

We will support bills that protect children’s innocence, allowing them to be unencumbered by age-inappropriate and sexualizing materials and visuals.

Gender Issues

We will support bills that protect minors from gender mutilation surgeries and defend parents’ rights on gender-related issues in schools. We will support bills that protect girls’ and women’s sports, and girls’ and women’s private spaces from the inclusion of biological men.

Government-Sanctioned Addiction

We will continue to oppose predatory gambling, including the lottery, in Texas. We will oppose any expansion of marijuana in any form. We will continue to fight to make all Delta-type THC products created from hemp illegal, along with the sale of beverages including THC.

Protect Life

We must protect all human life, particularly by stopping the abortion pill industry from flagrantly murdering unborn babies. We must discuss how to truly stop this barbaric practice.

Islamification of Texas

We will support bills that stop Sharia Law in Texas. Sharia Law is an incompatible,  seditious, subversive, competing enemy system in opposition to the Texas and U.S.  Constitutions, and its advocacy or implementation is a seditious criminal act, deserving  disqualification from public, military, and law enforcement service, and justifying criminal punishment, denaturalization, and deportation. 

National Security and Constitutional Issues

We support protecting our land from foreign adversaries and our electrical grid from any threat. We will protect our Constitution by continuing to oppose extending the current call for a Constitutional Convention which puts this great document at grave risk. We support nullification when the federal government oversteps the 10th Amendment. We support making gold and silver legal and transactional currency in Texas.
