Maybe if we take up a collection, we could raise enough to bribe Perry to mandate that.

"Texas has led but it’s been a hell of a struggle against Washington D.C. – they must trust the people, they don’t trust the people.
Governing isn’t that hard…
First – Don’t spend all the money!
TX legislature meets 140 days every OTHER year!
TARP – Stimulus – great concern in Texas, country, world --- small businesses don’t know what shoe will fall next – what regulations – costs – job loss. Health care bill – cost – loss of access to health care…..
Second: Fair and predictable tax and regulatory policy…..
Third: Legal system that does not allow for over suing. Sweeping tort reform 2003 in TX has paid HUGE dividends. Went from Jack-pot Justice (legal hell hole) to 60% more doctors practicing in Texas from 7 years ago (expands more on this) – about access to health care.
Last step: Loser Pays tells them, you better have a case. If frivolous – fishing for settlement – they’ll foot the bill! (since this speech, Perry signed it into law)
Haley Barbour told him, If "Loser Pays" passes you can put turnstiles on the TX border and charge people to come into your state!”
THAT’S IT! Put those 4 principles into place and tell government to get the hell out of the way.
You also need to work with principled people."
