| Collapse all
- Overturn the Charitable Feeding Ban
- Stop the Pay to Play Corruption
- Make Houston a No Kill City
We have to overturn the charitable feeding ban! Good Samaritans could be subject to a $2,000 fine or be put in jail for simply feeding the homeless. We need more kindness and definitely shouldn't punish the people trying to help the less fortunate. It is possible to be frugal and compassionate. We can be fiscally conservative and still care about the homeless and those that need help. We have a homeless epidemic in this city and need to address it. It is not only an issue in every major artery entering and leaving downtown, but it is also an issue in many neighborhoods. We need a plan. Whether you see it as a humanitarian issue as I do; a health and safety issue; a public safety issue; or an optics issue that reflects poorly on our city, we MUST do something!

2015
Dick's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[7]
Criminalization of sharing food with the homeless
- Excerpt: "The City of Houston made it a crime to share food with the homeless. This law is a violation of our First Amendment rights, it is a mean-spirited law, and it is meant to harass the homeless and compassionate individuals."
- Excerpt: "The new ordinance will regulate a natural expression of human compassion and inhibits groups sharing food with the poor. Any group or individual who drives around looking for hungry people in need of food will be immediately criminalized since they wouldn’t have prior written permission for the locations where they find people. A significant portion of Houston homeless rely on these forms of spontaneous feeding."
