Consider this:
>Perry was the main driver of the Texas’ largest government land grab in history. Attempting through eminent domain to steal hundreds of thousands of acres from Texas farmers and ranchers.
>Perry paid lip service to action on the border. He claims to have sent state guard troops to bolster the border. There were less than a dozen and they were all clerical positions. The border remains wide open.
>Perry has done nothing to negate liberal municipal policies that essentially setup sanctuary status for illegals.
>Perry still to this day is an ardent supporter of foreign operated toll roads throughout Texas.
>Perry has put the citizens of Texas in jeopardy by allowing Mexican trucks to carry goods into our state/nation. Drugs/Safety/Jobs are negotiable.
>Perry's Trans-Texas corridor (Nafta-superhighway) project would erode our sovereignty and eliminate thousands of jobs in the trucking, merchant shipping, dock workers, security and related fields by allowing cargo to be diverted to Mexican ports and shipped via Mexican trucks up the TTC.
Perry talks tough, but is all this tough talk preparing him for a run against a Washington insider K B Hutchison?
I have serious doubts about Perry also. We will see. The ball will be served into his court on 29 August.
I am also cautious about trusting Perry but I think the gathering on Aug 29th and the petition are the correct next step. I’m looking forward to seeing how may people show up and how many signatures they have gathered. I’ve signed, pledged my support to the Texas Nationalist Movement and will be in Austin.
If there was still “unexplored territory out West” I’d pack up my family and move. Obviously that’s no longer an option so I’ve joined the Texas Independence effort. To paraphrase Crockett, “The Feds can go to hell, I’m in Texas!”
