I'm not sure if this has been posted.

'According to USA Today, Mike Toomey, Perry’s former chief of staff, serves as one of the drug company’s three lobbyists in Texas. Perry’s current chief of staff’s mother-in-law, Texas Republican state Rep. Dianne White Delisi, is a head of Women in Government.

“Perry also received $6,000 from Merck’s political action committee during his re-election campaign,” USA Today says.'

IMHO, the spin in the media as this issue is being presented, is between "science, health and safety" versus those bible thump'in, creationist, ignorant Christians who see it as a total moral issue. That's how it is being marketing to the viewing public, which is total nonsense.

After listening to the NBC broadcast tonight on this topic (and others), Perry was highlighted for questionable ties to Merck, etc., but the story was not totally complete or correct in its scientific information and the way it presented the opposing sides on this issue.

Wasn't it $60,000 instead of $6000?
