Taxing Texas home owners...VOTE NO to Prop. 2 and 3

On November 3rd, there will be Propositions 1, 2, and 3 allowing the State of Texas to start taxing Residential Homeowners. For homeowners if these laws are passed, you will be taxed by the State. We are already taxed by the County, the City, the Hospitals, and the school districts, we don’t need to be taxed by the state as well. Make sure your voice is heard!
I received a flyer from the Secretary of State, Hope Andrade, listing the Propositions that are up for election in November. I called to question them before sending this message out to my homeowner friends... PLEASE VOTE "NO" to Prop. 2 and 3 (HJR 36), unless you want to pay taxes to the State also.
Proposition 2: The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: "The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the ad valor em taxation of a residence homestead solely on the basis of the property's value as a residence homestead."
Proposition 3: The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: The constitutional amendment providing the uniform standards and procedures for the appraisal of property for ad valor em tax purposes."
