Perry does NOT support Sanctuary Cities. With the Conservative base in Tx, if Perry were anything but a Conservative he would not have bee elected THREE times as GOV.

He has explained his belief in the HPV vacinations was to prevent Cancer. Frankly I think Merck pulled the this will prevent cervical cancer and he bought it.
IMO Merck was trying to get the State to become liable if yet another of their Drugs proved to be dangerous. I know I wouldn’t subject my daughter to this.

The Bush bunch pushed hard for the Trans highway. Remember Nafta was Daddy Bushes brainstorm. Thankfully Perry finally came down on the side of the people. Maybe THAT is why GHW and Babs don’t like Perry. The days of the backroom deals are over (hopefully) The old Washigton Bulls need to be put out to pasture.
I’m looking for a Secreteriat. You know someone that will leave the corrupt policies now in D.C behind in the dust.
I know that is probably unrealistic but I can hope.

Thank you so much for your reply. I can see that about Merck. I can see your point about the Bush family.

I do hope that day of back room deals is over...or at least diminished...and I pray too for a Secretariat. (Good analogy!)

I suspect Perry was lobbied heavily on the health angle and trusted his former staffer. A $6K campaign donation is nothing for a guy who has raised $100 million for his reelections.

In fairness to Merck, Gardasil was not only been approved for females in 2006 but was approved for males in 2009 against multiple cancers tied to HPV strains the vaccine targets. There's also a competing HPV vaccine for females from GlaxoSmithKline now.

The most important thing to me on the controversy is that Perry specifically protected parental rights with the opt-out clause in his executive order.

Here in CA the legislature is voting to allow 12 yos to consent on their own with no requirement parents be informed much less allowed to opt-out. The law, AB499, already passed the Assembly.
