The place in the know

I found this site, Travis County. You might want to check it out. It will give you the low down on what is going to be on the ballots for the March primaries 2010, and any other elections that will come along in the future. I have also learned the reason for the Propositions on the Republic Ballots, is because they are taking a survey: "On the Republican ballot only, there are five ballot propositions that are the Republican Party's way of gauging the importance of certain issues to Republican voters. These ARE NOT constitutional amendments." Taken from this site. That's the way to use the system! But my Democratic self won't say another word.
Here is what they are asking you:
Proposition 1: The Texas legislature should make it a priority to protect the integrity of our election process by enacting legislation that requires voters to provide valid photo identification in order to cast a ballot in any and all elections conducted in the State of Texas.

Proposition 2: Every government body in Texas should be required to limit any annual increase in its budget and spending to the combined increase of population and inflation unless it first gets voter approval to exceed the allowed annual growth or in the case of an official emergency.

Proposition 3: 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”.

Proposition 4: The use of the word “God”, prayers, and the Ten Commandments should be allowed at public gatherings and public educational institutions, as well as be permitted on government buildings and property.

Proposition 5: The Texas Legislature should enact legislation requiring a sonogram to be performed and shown to each mother about to undergo a medically unnecessary, elective abortion.
