State Affairs - Heritage Preservation
200. Heritage
We call upon governmental entities to protect all symbols of our American and Texan heritage, and therefore:
a. We oppose governmental action to remove the public display of the Ten Commandments or other religious symbols.
b. We support the Pledge Protection Act. We urge that the national motto, "In God We Trust," and the National Anthem be protected from legislative and judicial attack.
c. We require that penalties be established for any form of desecration of the American or Texas Flag.
d. We support preservation of Texas history and historical sites.
e. We urge Alamo visitors to conduct themselves with decorum and reverence inside the shrine, out of respect for the sacrifice of the heroes who are honored there.
f. We call for restoration of plaques honoring the Confederate widows' pension fund contribution, which were illegally removed from the Texas Supreme Court building.
g. We support March 2nd Texas Independence Day being an official State holiday.
h. We support having all schools, state agencies, and public offices celebrate and honor Constitution Day on September 17th of each year or the preceding Friday or following Monday closest thereto.
