Why Support Governor Perry

What shows the Face of America more than elections? This article is about exercising our right to elect a Governor for Texas. If you know someone in Texas, please pass on this information to them. Thank you.

I cannot even entertain the idea of having a Democrat Governor, especially when I learn some of the things I have about White, the Democratic opponent.

There are many things about Gov. Perry that we do not agree with, but all and all, I think he is the best man for the job as Governor of Texas. Let me tell you Texans why I like Perry for Governor.

Texas is the best state to do business in because it is business friendly. Put a Democrat in and it won’t be long before it is no longer business friendly!

Texas is independent and self-contained. Texas is on its own grid for electricity and so we don’t have to worry about a domino-affect grid blackout as we saw on the Ohio grid several years ago.

Texas economy is doing pretty well, much better than most of the other states in America because of a wise Governor.

Governor Perry has done a lot to secure the border from incidents involving drug cartel violence. Gov. Perry says that, if the President will set aside an hour on Aug 9 when he is in Austin, he will have a meeting with those who are in charge of securing the Texas border and show him how to secure the border.

When I did research on emergency preparedness, I discovered that Texas is far ahead of me on this topic. Because they already had a plan in for a situation like Hurricane Katrina and the need to absorb masses of refugees into our State, Texas easily assimilated the influx of people.

The most obvious reason to re-elect Gov. Perry is that he is a Republican who knows how to govern effectively without creating huge debts and putting our state in jeopardy of being swamped in Democrats idea of extension Government and overspending.

WHY MESS UP SOMETHING WHAT IS WORKING SO WELL IN THIS TROUBLED ECONOMY”?

WHY TRUST A DEMOCRAT TO DO BETTER WHEN WE HAVE A GOVERNOR THAT HAS ALREADY PROVEN HE KNOWS HOW TO RUN A STATE SO EFFECTIVELY?

SURE WE MAY NOT LIKE ALL OF PERRY’S POLICIES, BUT ISN’T THAT BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVES? I THINK IT IS WAY BETTER AND THAT’S WHY I PLAN TO VOTE FOR PERRY!

Growing Largest Grassroots Network in State History

On Saturday, supporters of Gov. Perry from all across the state participated in the campaign’s Home Headquarters Round Up, where they spent the afternoon calling friends and family to sign them up as Home Headquarters volunteers – individuals who agree to identify 11 people to vote for Gov. Perry in the upcoming election. Gov. Perry addressed these supporters in more than 15 towns across the state via Skype to thank them for their support and hard work on behalf of his re-election campaign.

The Home Headquarters program is the campaign’s vehicle to growing the largest grassroots network in state history. More than 3,500 Home Headquarters were signed up on Saturday alone. People who sign up may enter a raffle from now until October 15 to win unique prizes. Visit www.RickPerry.org to learn more about the raffle prizes and our Home Headquarters program.

Gov. Perry Continues to Defend State Sovereignty Over Energy Sector

Last week Gov. Perry stood strong to uphold Texas’ sovereignty over its energy industry in the wake of pending legislation in Washington that could strip states of the right to regulate oil and gas exploration and production within their own borders. The governor joined a number of state leaders in urging the Texas Congressional delegation to fight back against this latest encroachment into states’ authority. Read his statement on the governor’s website.

Instead of targeting Texas, the federal government should be looking at our successful record of building one of the strongest, most diverse energy industries in the nation while successfully protecting the environment and reducing pollutants. Since 2000, Texas has reduced nitrogen oxide emissions by 53 percent, cut ozone levels by 22 percent, while also reducing carbon dioxide emissions more than nearly every other state, all without burdensome government mandates.

Bill White Admits Appearing With President Obama ‘Could Cost Him Support’

Liberal Bill White has admitted the reason he will not appear with President Obama next week is that doing so “could cost him support.” An invitation to a fundraiser President Obama is holding in Austin on Aug. 9 says, “Some of the proceeds will remain in Texas to help elect Democrats in Texas, including Bill White as our next governor.”

Regarding Democrats avoiding President Obama, Larry Sabato from the University of Virginia Center for Politics said, “If you are running in a state where Obama is still popular, then it’s fine. Otherwise, it’s better to just have the money laundered through the DNC.” Visit LiberalBill.com to read more.
