Tom Green County GOP Chairman Duestine had this to say on February 15th concerning this primary election:

“Republican primary voters also will have five nonbinding propositions on their ballots.

Tom Green County Republican Party Chairman Russ Duerstine said the State Republican Executive Committee, the executive body of the Republican Party of Texas, wrote the ballot initiatives. He said they are intended to help the party determine which issues most interest its members.

“The primary ballot measures are nonbinding initiatives that are meant to attract voters to our primary who share our values, and give them a chance to voice support or opposition for these key ideas,” Duerstine said in an e-mail.

“Furthermore, it gives elected Republicans a clear idea of what issues are important to the grass roots of the party, and the level of support they can expect from our base on these issues.”

Some food for thought on our civic responsibility to vote:

“Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature…. If the next centennial does not find us a great nation … it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.”

- James Garfield, the twentieth president of the United States, 1877
