Texas Gov. Rick Perry today received the personal endorsement of Florida National Committeeman Paul Senft in his campaign for president.
“I’m proud to endorse Gov. Perry for president – he has been leading Texas to more job creation, while President Obama has failed to lead on anything,” said Senft. “Gov. Perry’s proven record of job creation is the best of any candidate in the field, and as a man of faith he is the strong, principled leader this party and our nation need. He will be an excellent Commander-in-Chief and respect the 10th Amendment to make Washington less intrusive in state government and less consequential in our daily lives so that our country can thrive and prosper as we rebuild our global pride and respect.”
Paul Senft is a long time GOP activist from Haines City in Polk County and has served as Florida’s National Committeeman since 2004. He is also an RNC Executive Committee Member, and previously served as the State Committeeman and Chairman for the Polk County Republican Executive Committee.
“Paul Senft has been a powerful force in advancing the values and priorities of the Republican Party in Florida, and I am honored to have his endorsement,” said Gov. Rick Perry. “I look forward to his partnership in this campaign as I travel the nation sharing my vision to restore our economy and get America working again.”

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is the best candidate in the Republican presidential field not only because of his conservative principles but also because he can win in 2012, author and radio talk show host Michael Savage tells Newsmax.TV.
When asked who his choice is among the Republican candidates for president, the controversial talk show host said, “Only Perry.”
“The reason is I’ll get 60 to 70 percent of my conservative principles from Perry, I’ll get 30 to 40 percent out of [Mitt] Romney and I’ll get less than that out of the others,” he said. “That does not mean that [Herman] Cain isn’t a great guy — he is, he’s not electable, can’t win. Ron Paul is a terrific guy, great ideas, can’t win. So, therefore I go with who can win. Who can win? It’s Perry, Perry, Perry.”

I think you are on a comedy roll tonight! LOL
I LOVE Savage but he changes his mind like a person (besides the Wall St. protestors, change underwear). His latest candidate is Herman Cain.
You are from Texas, Rick Perry is your God, you love him, worship him and think he is the best thing since Jesus Christ. I understand that.
I'm from Illinois. I met Barack Obama, I got his autograph and I voted for John McCain, so I'm not blinded by statehood. But I do understand that SOME Texans are STATISTS, meaning if Hutchinson was running you'd vote for her over Ronald Reagan.
You have a great state, you have a Governor who LOVES illegals. One of my best friends what shot in the head and killed instantly getting off a simple train commute from work by an illegal alien FROM MEXICO (THAT PLACE THAT BORDERS YOUR STATE!!!) and YOUR WONDERFUL GOVERNOR SAINT PERRY says I'm heartless.
TexMom7, I pray you and the Perrybots get what happened to the Rudybots and Romneybots. If it happened I'd contribute my life savings to Free Republic to see you all purged.
An illegal alien killed my best friend and YOUR GOVERNOR says I'm heartless for not supporting illegal aliens. So yeah, bash abuse if you want. But when you hear your best friend got a bullet in his head because he was white and you are told by a pompous politician that you are HEARTLESS for opposing illegals?
How DARE you!!! When you lose a friend come back to me and tell me how wonderful your ILLEGAL PANDERING GOVERNOR IS!!!
And you can bash abuse but guess what, people my age know how to make multiple avatars to fight you monsters... I would sacrifice my 10 years on FR to defeat your disgusting, illegal pandering, BASTARD, Governor who I would link directly to the murder of my best friend for his sanctuary policies!!!
So screw Savage and screw anyone who supports illegal aliens you can all rot for all I care. I lost a best friend you lost nothing...
If anything I lost almost all respect for many Texas FReepers who are blind by faith to an illegal panderer! I live in Illinois and live in CROOK COUNTY! HOME OF OBAMA! And I fight! You support a man who says myself and everyone I've pinged is heartless because we want illegals to go home!!!
PS: Maybe Fieldmarshaldj can share his experience in Tennessee about the illegals your wonderful Governor loves so much!!!
So to the Admin_Mod's I actually want to send thanks to TexMom7 and her other Perrybot's because in honor of my friend shot in the head and killed by an illegal alien from Mexico, I think my new tagline is priceless.
TexMom7, I hope you can picture brains scattered all over a train platform, thanks to sanctuary policies of Rick Perry!!! That's the image I've had to picture since my friend was shot and killed in November 2004. But I know you are blinded by faith to a total fraud. I'd support Ron Paul over Perry. And yes, this is personal, if you don't like it get me banned, I'll come back, and I'll come back again. I have more devices to connect to the internet giving me a unique IP Address than Algore has lies!!!
Game on Perrybots, you just woke a sleeping giant.
Rick Perry is not my God.
He’s my Governor.
I don’t support Hutchinson at all - never have and never voted for her ever.
Ron Paul is my congressman. Voted for him many times but not for President.
I voted for Reagan and he gave illegals amnesty.
I’m very sorry you lost your friend. I really am.
However, your anger should be put toward the Federal Government not Perry.
You call me names and want to pray for me yet you are in a rage.
You have become bitter and I will no longer discuss this with you.
Thank you for this news about Perry.
You’re welcome, Katarina!
There will be more good news coming too! You can count on it!
I am glad you don't support Hutchinson she is worse than Perry, and I thank you for understanding my grief. No matter how long people say "grief" should last, it never goes away, never.
I apologize if you think I am attacking you personally. I am attacking the whole "Perry is Awesome and should win" movement.
The man called us heartless if we oppose illegals, no doubt there. You probably are one of the "heartless" but I understand you support your Governor, I don't have that luxury. My Governor lost due to voter fraud in Crook County thanks to many dead voters in November...
I've been in agony for years due to illegals not only stealing jobs but stealing lives. Look at Massachusetts with illegals getting drunk and killing people left in right via hit and run.
To you, I apologize if you took my statements personal, my statement is toward the Rick Perry 2012 Campaign, not TexMom7.
If you have to lie, you may be on the wrong side. Vote for Paul and destroy the country, vote for Perry and you have about 65 illegal kids going to college. Good choice.

I don’t necessarily want a politician to be good at job creation, I want him to be good at keeping his paws off the market and letting job creation occur.
You should be THANKFUL Governor Perry has done so much to keep illegal aliens out of our country and to protect us all!

Gov. Perry works with the 16-member Texas Border Sheriff’s Association to deter illegal immigration and prevent border-related crime - Creates ‘Operation Linebacker” - Awards $6 Million to Border Counties for Border Security (2005)
http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/2558/
Gov. Rick Perry today announced the award of $6 million in grants to strengthen security along the Texas-Mexico border. The funds will support Operation Linebacker, an initiative developed by the 16-member Texas Border Sheriff’s Association to deter illegal immigration and prevent border-related crime.
(snip)
“There can be no homeland security without border security,” Perry said. “Operation Linebacker makes sense because it gives new tools and resources to local law enforcement, the experts in the unique security challenges of the border.” The Texas Border Sheriff’s Coalition, which will receive $120,000 in grant funds, will coordinate the effort and develop specialized security plans for the unique needs of each county.
(snip)
In October Perry released a comprehensive, six-point border security plan that featured Operation Linebacker and also called for expedited efforts to achieve radio communications interoperability in the region, improved information technology, bilateral emergency response exercises, and legislative measures to enhance border security.

Gov. Perry Implements and Leads Operation Border Star
http://www.texastribune.org/texas-mexico-border-news/operation-border-star/about/
Operation Border Star is the most current iteration of Gov. Rick Perry’s state-led border security operations.
Perry began awarding grants to border sheriffs in 2006 to help them buy equipment and pay officers overtime to patrol rural areas of the Texas-Mexico border between ports of entry. The goal of the program is to increase law enforcement presence and deter crime on the border.
The first effort was called Operation Linebacker, and border deputies were assigned to serve as a second line of defense for U.S. Border Patrol agents on the Rio Grande.
(snip)
Operation Border Star was launched in 2007. Local and state agencies were provided grant funds to pay officers overtime to beef up border patrols and to coordinate intelligence gathering about crime on the border. The local and state agencies also coordinate and share information with federal agencies.

Gov. Perry Expanding Operation Border Star – Sends Rangers, Guard to the Border (2009)
Gov. Rick Perry is expanding Operation Border Star, a multi-agency border security effort he launched in 2007, sending teams of Texas Rangers and National Guard troops to curb border crime and prevent spillover violence from Mexico.
“This is the latest in a series of aggressive actions we’ve taken to fill the gap left by the federal government’s ongoing failure to adequately secure our international border,” Perry announced in Houston.
He also reissued his call for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to send more National Guard troops to the border and said he has sunk another $2 million into his border Web camera program.
(snip)
Perry also briefly noted that he had awarded another $2 million grant to operate surveillance cameras on the border.
The Tribune reported yesterday that Perry had made the $2 million award to the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition despite documents that showed the camera program failed to meet nearly all of its law enforcement goals during the first full year it was operational.
Perry’s office argues that the camera program didn’t miss its goals but that the targets were improperly set at the outset of the first $2 million grant. The targets were revised after the first year; after the changes, they closely match that year’s actual results
And we should also thank Rick Perry for keeping the fight going to protect our citizens.

Gov. Perry Announces Highly Skilled Ranger Recon Teams as Texas’ Latest Efforts to Enhance Border Security (2009)
http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/13577/
(Excerpt)
In the absence of adequate federal resources to secure the state’s southern border, Gov. Rick Perry today announced the state’s latest border security enhancement using highly-skilled Ranger Reconnaissance (Ranger Recon) Teams to address the ever evolving threat along the Texas-Mexico border. He also repeated his call for Washington to approve the 1,000 Title 32 National Guard troops he has been requesting since January. Additionally, the governor announced the award of $2 million in state criminal justice funds to the Border Sheriff’s Coalition for continued utilization of video surveillance technology along the border.
“Texas’ proven border security strategy is based on putting boots on the ground and equipping those personnel with the technology, training and funding they need to stem the flow of contraband across our border. Deploying Ranger Recon Teams to high-traffic, high-crime areas along the border will enhance our efforts,” Gov. Perry said. “This is the latest in a series of aggressive actions we’ve taken to fill the gap left by the federal government’s ongoing failure to adequately secure our international border.”
Comprised of Texas Rangers and Texas National Guard Counterdrug forces, the Ranger Recon Teams are supported by the Operation Border Star Unified Command, including Texas sheriffs, Highway Patrol strike teams and Department of Public Safety aviation resources. This effort was launched in early August to address the increased burglaries of rural homes, ranches and hunting camps in remote areas along the Texas-Mexico border.

Gov. Perry: Federal Government Must Take Action To Prevent Spillover Violence from Mexico Requests Predator Drones and National Guard Troops along Border (2010)
http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/14341/
(Excerpt)
Last week, Gov. Perry sent a letter to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano requesting that the federal government utilize Unmanned Aircraft Systems, also known as predator drones, for missions over the Texas-Mexico border. This would provide an additional surveillance element, supplying valuable information to local, state and federal law enforcement along the border. Currently the three predator drones assigned to the southwest border are based in and operating exclusively in Arizona.
(snip)
Since January 2009, Gov. Perry has repeatedly urged the federal government, through letters to President Barack Obama, Secretary Janet Napolitano and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, to approve his request for 1,000 Title 32 National Guardsmen to support civilian law enforcement efforts to enhance border security in Texas. While Washington continues to review this request, more Americans are at risk of falling victim to the increasing violence.
A porous border places Texas and the nation at risk from international terrorists, organized crime cartels and transnational gangs. Until the federal government fulfills its responsibility of securing our border, Texas will continue filling in the gaps by putting more boots on the ground, providing increased law enforcement resources and leveraging technology along the border.
In the absence of adequate federal resources to secure the state’s southern border, Gov. Perry launched the state’s recent border security enhancement using highly-skilled Ranger Reconnaissance (Ranger Recon) Teams to address the ever evolving threat along the Texas-Mexico border. Additionally, under the governor’s leadership, and thanks to action taken by the Legislature, the state has dedicated more than $110 million to border security efforts in each of the last two legislative sessions.
