Texas Republican Party Propositions

From the Texas Republican Party website:

The Texas Republican Primary is March 2, 2010.  The Texas Secretary of State maintains a comprehensive Voter Information page, including registration, district and other facts, figures and links.
In addition to the wealth of extraordinary candidates and incumbents who will be on the Republican ballot this year, the 2010 Texas Republican Primary ballot includes the following five questions, on a range of critical issues, that were approved by the State Republican Executive Committee.  These are non-binding resolutions that are the party's way of guaging support for issues, and for informing voters and elected officials where the party's grassroots stand on the issues.

Ballot Proposition #3: Cutting Federal Income Taxes
In addition to aggressively eliminating irresponsible federal spending, Congress should empower American citizens to stimulate the economy by Congress cutting federal income taxes for all federal taxpayers, rather than spending hundreds of billions of dollars on so-called “federal economic stimulus”.
