1. I think America should allow for more parties than two, like most democracies around the world that award seats based on a proportion of the vote the candidate's party receives. 

*
2. We need to end monopolistic election practices such as gerrymandering, unfair petition requirements, excessive filing fees and laws against instant runoff voting.  *
3. Texans need the full right to petition for a public vote on issues – known as “initiative and referendum” – to counter-act the influence of industry lobbies that pollute our water, take our land and limit our voting choices.  
*
4. Saving water and not over-pumping our aquifers (underground water supply) should be top priorities in conserving our most precious resource in Texas. Ex: San Antonio pumps masses of groundwater from aquifers east of Austin, while losing almost as much as they are pumping due to leaky pipes. 
*
5. We should give Texans the right to vote to end taxpayer handouts (subsidies) to corporate giants which unfairly compete with local businesses and drive up the costs of growth paid for by current residents. 
*
6.  I’m tired of fighting over the border issue and want solutions aimed at resolving a complex set of problems (costs of building a wall, the drug cartels and America’s appetite for drugs, America’s need for more labor, etc.), all of which require the federal government and the state of Texas working together instead of engaging in partisan gamesmanship *
7.  The Texas Legislature has gone too far in outlawing abortion with no exceptions, intervening in our personal, religious and healthcare decisions. *
8.  People who carry guns should be licensed and trained.  *
9.  We need to end mass incarceration fueled by petty crimes such as possession of small amounts of marijuana and other victimless crimes.  *
10.  I agree with the President of Brazil (Lula) who recently refused to send arms to Ukraine and said that Russia and Ukraine (backed by the US) are both at fault if they fail to negotiate a peace settlement soon. *
The remainder are background demographic questions.
