Proposed Constitutional Amendment for Confederate pensions
The John B. Hood Camp of Confederate Veterans in Austin appeals to Texans to adopt a proposed constitutional amendment.

The appeal urges every candidate from governor to local official to support adoption to relieve suffering and open room for others.
