News flash: @RickPerry is not running for President. Instead he's the motorcycle-riding pastor at Haven of Hope, a small Pentecostal church near Yale University in West Haven, CT.
Ever since Rick Perry the Texas Governor (whose Twitter handle is @GovernorPerry) declared a presidential run, Rick Perry the Pastor's inbox and Twitter feed have been flooded with messages, some of support, others of outrage.
At first @RickPerry refused TIME's calls, thinking we were his friends playing yet another presidential joke. “I even sent one friend an email yesterday that said, 'Nice try!'” he explained. “I'm sorry I assumed you were a prank.”
(snip)
When did you first realize the Governor of Texas shared your name?
It was about 4 or 5 years ago. My wife and I flew into Houston to visit my in-laws and got a hotel there through Priceline.
They upgraded us when we got there to a really nice suite. In the morning, I called down, and said, “I'm sorry, but I requested an extra towel last night and I still haven't received it.” Within minutes, there was a knock on the door. It was the manager. He looked shocked when I opened the door. He said, “You're not Rick Perry!” And I said, “Yes, I am!” And that's when I found out that the Governor of Texas was Rick Perry.

What has it been like for you since Governor Perry entered the presidential race?
When we've travelled in Texas, every church thought it was entertaining to put on their board, “Join us this Sunday with Special guest Rick Perry!”
