Whereas, the proper purpose of government is the protection of individual rights;

Whereas, individual rights can only be violated by the use of force (or the threat thereof);

Whereas, the City of Houston routinely violates the rights of citizens by seizing their money through taxation, regulating individuals and businesses, prohibiting voluntary interactions between consenting adults, and more;

We, the undersigned, call upon all candidates for Mayor of Houston and Houston City Council to take a public position on the following:

1. Privatizing inappropriate city services, such as water, wastewater, and trash collection;
2. Selling city assets, such as parks and libraries, that do not contribute to governments proper functions;
3. Repealing all building codes, all land-use regulations, and all ordinances that regulate business conduct;
4. Repealing all ordinances that criminalize voluntary interactions between consenting adults;
5. Immediately reducing property taxes by 10\%.
