Mission Statement
The Texas Justice Foundation provides free legal representation in landmark cases in protect individual rights, limit government to its appropriate role, and promote a better business climate for job growth in Texas.
Philosophy
We seek to protect, through litigation and education, those fundamental freedoms and rights essential to the preservation of American society. To reinvigorate public education, strengthen the family, promote the private sector business climate, we must limit government to its traditional and appropriately limited role.
We seek to protect those mediating structures which provide a bulwark of freedom for the individual against excessive intrusion of government, such as church, synagogue, home, and private business. The private ordering of affairs should represent the greatest sector of decision in any healthy and free country.
Our cases should reflect our philosophy of a just and well ordered society.
We believe in.....
Limited Government
In Thomas Jefferson's precept, "That government is best which governs least." Constitutional and legal constraints on government power should be fully enforced.
Economic Freedom
In jobs. People need productive work to support themselves and to reach the full potential of human dignity. You cannot be for jobs unless you are for business. We will support the private sector, especially the entrepreneur and beginning business man or woman, and the free market allocation of goods and services. We support full equal opportunity for all Americans, but we will resist government enforced equality of results.
Private Property Rights
In the right to own property free of excessive government regulation or confiscation. Individuals, not government, are the best protectors and decision makers for the use of all resources, both natural, man-made and intellectual.
Parental Rights
In protecting children from those who would destroy their innocence and exploit them for their own purposes. On the whole, parents are the best protectors of children and have the natural right and duty to care for their children. We will resist government encroachment on parental authority. We oppose the evolution of children's "rights", which undermine parents' rights and allow outsiders to usurp the natural and constitutional rights of parents. Children, in the main, are naturally incapable of exercising self-government until reaching the age of majority.
Educational Freedom
In the long-term regeneration of America which will only occur through the introduction of third generation American schools. The schools will be government financed, free of charge, open to all, but controlled by parents through open choice, free of excessive government regulation and abusive monopoly power. In a pluralistic society, it is the duty of individuals, not government, to determine the values and skills to be taught to the next generation. Tolerance, respect for diversity, and other civic virtues cannot be coerced, but will flow from voluntary decisions of individuals based on the American character. Government indoctrination of children at the expense of education must be resisted at every level. "The philosophy of the schoolhouse in one generation," Abraham Lincoln warned, "will be the philosophy of the government in the next."
Crime and Punishment
In justice. What society protects by law will prosper and what society punishes by law will languish. For too long, we have overly protected the rights of criminals and punished businesses. As a result, the criminal class has grown and the economy has stagnated. We believe the victims of crime should have more rights than criminals and businesses should have at least the same rights as child molesters and other criminals. As Lady Margaret Thatcher has said, "Crime is not a condition to be cured, but a temptation to be resisted, a threat to be deterred, and an evil to be punished."
The Rule of Law
In the purpose of the judiciary to protect existing rights, not create new ones. Judges should protect those rights guaranteed by our constitutions and remain faithful to the original intent of the people. Judges who impose their own views on society under the guise of law undermine the rule of law and impose the rule of men. Living constitutions should reflect the will of the people, not the judiciary.
