Texas Insider Report: Dripping Springs Texas - Last night at a town hall meeting in Hays County State Representative Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs) signed the Pledge with Texans a roadmap for strengthening liberty in Texas through five core conservative priorities for the 82nd legislative session.
Rep. Isaac stated Our state faces many challenges and the Pledge with Texans is a plan of action that can help us revive the foundations of constitutional liberty in Texas. I am proud to stand with my fellow conservatives to make sure that Texas values and principles are upheld as the Legislature tackles the states major issues this session.
The Pledge with Texans is the legislative agenda of the Texas Conservative Coalition (TCC) the conservative caucus of the Texas Legislature. In signing the Pledge with Texans Rep. Isaac joins Governor Rick Perry Comptroller Susan Combs and seventy-seven of his conservative colleagues in the Texas Legislature.
Our first and most crucial order of business is to balance the state budget without raising taxes Rep. Isaac commented. To rise to the challenge posed by the revenue shortfall I will work to sharpen our focus on a few key priorities. The state budget must be reduced and rolling back bureaucracy is a good starting point.
Rep. Isaac added Its time for Texas to stand up and push back against an increasingly activist and radical federal government. We must work to stop intrusions on our liberty and renew the independent spirit in our state. Texas can manage our own affairs without unwanted and misguided direction from Washington D.C. bureaucrats.
The TCC Pledge with Texans is the foundation for keeping Texas strong and prosperous by offering conservative solutions to the five most pressing issues that the next Legislature must address:
- Balance the Budget without Raising Taxes
- Limit Federal Intrusion
- Improve Election Integrity
- Cut Taxes
- Secure the Texas Border
Rep. Isaac stated Conservative leadership over the past decade has made Texas the most successful state in the nation validating our fundamental belief in restraining government while maximizing liberty."
