Issues

This page features my positions on issues relevant to our community at large.

Vice and Morality Laws

We should not try to force other people to think or feel the way that we do about a subject, and we certainly should not be trying to do so through law. As Texans, we should be setting an example for the rest of the country.

The Unsheltered

There is a marked difference between the "homeless" and the "unsheltered." Here's a bold statement that I have yet to hear anyone dispute: The Unsheltered are the ONLY societal group for whom laws are specifically written to persecute rather than protect. 

Veterans Issues

Every year, millions of Americans swear an oath "to protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". Then, when they return home, they are subjected to (arguably) the worst health care in this country, and they are - more often than not - treated worse than second-class citizens.

Autism Advocacy

It's easy to see that a person in a wheelchair has a physical impairment and may require some help or support. As a neurological condition, the influence of Asperger's Syndrome and other autistic conditions are often invisible to the rest of the world.
