3. Decriminalize marijuana possession in Austin
From Texas NORML:
“In January 2020, Texas NORML worked with numerous supporting organizations to pass a city council resolution which restricted any funding from being spent on arrests or citations for personal marijuana possession or THC testing. To that end, we are working to make that resolution a city ordinance through the ballot initiative process, with the aim of being on the November ballot for the City of Austin…”

6. What is a libertarian?
Some say libertarians are "plotting to take over the world and leave you alone."
This 2-minute video from Learn Liberty tells "Free Will and Human Dignity: A Love Story."
"The Conversation" is a 13-minute dramatization from the Foundation for Harmony and Prosperity.
Read this short commentary from Leonard E. Read (written in 1955): "In an ideal America."
Dr. Tom Palmer explains the libertarian principle in chapter 1 (pp. 3-12) of the 2013 book, "Why Liberty."
Take this short (10 question) online quiz from the Advocates for Self-Government to see if you might have libertarian leanings: “The World’s Smallest Political Quiz.”
