Dear Supporter,
Campaign for Liberty gave candidates for State Legislature an opportunity to provide a straight answer to the following questions. The candidates’ answers can be seen below the list of questions. Because the vast majority of states do not include 3rd party candidates in the Primary process, Campaign for Liberty policy is to survey 3rd party candidates for General elections, except in Jungle Primary states.
Survey Questions
1. Will you oppose all tax and fee increases?
2. Do you oppose taking federal money to expand Medicaid?
3. Will you oppose all efforts to apply to the U.S. Congress for an Article V Convention?
4. Will you oppose any bill that impedes free speech, including any so-called ethics reform bill that would require a citizen organization to divulge its donor or member information?
5. Will you support legislation that would end "policing for profit", require charges be filed before any assets are seized by law enforcement, and ensure that property is returned if charges are dropped or the suspect is acquitted?
6. Would you support legislation that, if passed, would immediately end all civil penalty photo enforcement using automated ticket cameras in Texas?
7. Will you support a “Constitutional Carry” bill that would allow any law-abiding citizen to carry a firearm openly or concealed without a permit?
