Human life is not an asset. It’s not a commodity.
Life is a gift from God, and we must do everything we can to defend Texans’ most basic rights endowed by our Creator and guaranteed in the Constitution.
As chairman of the Texas Human Trafficking Prevention Task Force, Greg Abbott has worked closely with legislators, law enforcement authorities, and victim service providers to combat human trafficking across Texas. In 2013, Greg Abbott was honored to be the recipient of the New Friends New Life “Protect-Her Award.”
Working with the Texas legislature, Greg Abbott has fought to increase penalties for traffickers, enhance coordination within the law enforcement community, and improve victims’ access to important services.
Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and it a serious problem that afflicts not only Texas, but the rest of the nation. Greg Abbott will continue to crack down on this vile crime.

As one of the leading American figures in the Tax Honesty Movement, I can say with absolute authority that there are three primary attributes of slavery in antiquity, and any scholar will back me up:
1) Taxation of labor (2nd Plank of The Communist Manifesto).
2) Taxation of the intrinsic value of property (1st Plank of The Communist Manifesto).
3) Numbering people as cattle (Socialist Security Number.)
Does Mr. Abbott oppose any of these human trafficking issues? It's interesting that the political elite long ago stopped calling the forced economic transfer of persons and their labor "slavery."
My Five Point Plan if Elected Texas Governor
1) Swear not/ Do not take oaths (ends the state and all its systems of violence).
2) Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth (mitigates envy and covetousness and refocusses life on the family and community).
3) Render not evil for evil (ends war).
4) Go not to law (ends the legal system).
5) Judge not, condemn not (ends bigotry, discrimination, the prison system and the death penalty).
Conclusion: Peace on earth.
