Texas Constitutional Elections do not get much publicity. No one is on the ballot. We are not voting for President or a Congressman. Who cares,  right?

Constitutional Amendment Elections are actually VERY important. We are CHANGING the Texas Constitution!

This year’s Constitutional Amendment Election is on Tuesday November 8^th, 2011.

There are 10 propositions on the ballot this year.

Below is a list and explanation (from the Texas Secretary of State website) of the propositions that you will see on the ballot when you go to your polling location to vote.

Also, below you will find an awesome graph from Parker County Blog.

This graph shows the Voting Recommendations from Conservative Organizations in Texas

As you can see from the graph, the conservative organizations in Texas are AGAINST most of the propositions on the ballot. Proposition 1 is the only proposition that most conservative organizations are in favor of. Proposition 10 has a pretty neutral recommendation so that one is a tossup. The rest of the propositions are generally seen as bad propositions by the majority of the conservative organizations.

Everyone of course should investigate the propositions and make their own determinations of how they should vote. This is just a guide
