AUSTIN, Tex. — In April, as Texas reeled from wildfires and a drought, Gov. Rick Perry sought assistance from the federal government, but also from a higher power. He asked the state to pray for rain, issuing an official proclamation that “I, Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas.”

I think Perry is using God for political Gain. It is sickening. We are to pray in “secret”. He is pandering and I hate that. We need a conservative — not al gore’s campaign manager in Texas. Don’t buy into this phony. I’m telling you.
Thank you for joining FR just to warn us about Rick Perry. /s
“So, Obama is hosting a freaking “Ramadan Celebration” and they worry about Rick Perry at a prayer rally?”
“This nation is nuts.”
In this post 9/11 worlds I’ve never quite understood it, but these White House Ramadan dinners date back to 2001.

In this particular series of posts regarding perry's apparent "pullback", it only strengthens my views.
Of course, and as always, IMHO!
Second; the "prayer breakfast" in AK is a Governor's Prayer Breakfast....not a fund raiser held by a politician disguised as a "prayer meetin'".
But again...it is my humber opinion whether you agree or not.
“not a fund raiser held by a politician disguised as a “prayer meetin’”. “
Perry’s prayer rally is NOT a fund raiser.
Also, you want to have it both ways.
