The Obama campaign team is asking Texans to share complaints about Gov. Rick Perry, and compiling the critiques for possible use in Perry-bashing ads and other material - a sure sign the president's advisers are taking no chances.
"Your feedback will help hold him accountable on the campaign trail, inspire fellow Texans to get involved, and introduce his record -- his actual record -- to voters across the country," Hector Nieto, the campaign's Texas director, told Texas supporters by email blast today. "Your words will remind him that even as he runs, he won't be able to hide -- a lesson he apparently hadn't learned as recently as last week. That's when his campaign explained that the positions he took in the book he wrote just nine months ago, like saying that Social Security is unconstitutional and `a crumbling monument to the failure of the New Deal,' no longer represent his views.
"But what other Americans are just starting to learn about -- and, frankly, reject -- Texans have dealt with for more than a decade. It's up to us to make sure he doesn't get to run away from the truth."
Nieto's email says hundreds of Texans have already shared their dim views on Perry, directing critics to an online form where they can suggest their own favorite "failed policies" for which he should be held accountable.
Submitting a suggestion grants the Obama campaign perpetual rights to use the comments in any form of political advertising.
Last week, Nieto sent an email blast seeking donations as small as $5 to help counter Perry's "tall tale" of a Texas economic miracle.

Carl A. Parker: Why Perry Won't Run for President
Jim Hightower: Perry Is Peddling Texas Snake Oil
Try Austin. Shouldn’t be hard to find some there.
I can see it now:
“Ahm a Texan and an amurcan and Rick Perry is the devil!”
Trial lawyers and teacher unions are gearing up their push against Perry.
Don’t know who Carl Parker is but Hightower is a dem so big whoopee.
There are some here that would be glad to help I’m sure.
LOL, I thought you were going to post some Freeper's names, and was ready to say, "they're not from Texas".
HEY!!! ...OVER HERE!!!
This thread will be crawling with them in no time.
Obama team scouts for anti-Perry Texans
Shocking... and a$$ hats like Rove and Jeb Bush are saying we can’t attack the skid mark for being the marxist POS he is.
Bill Burkett probably still has an account at Kinko’s. I’m guessing it will take only some slight editing to change those fake ANG documents to fake Perry documents. Quick, call Mary Mapes!
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is now recognized by 67% of Republicans and Republican leaners nationwide, an increase of 13 percentage points from two weeks ago.
Maples died [but the Left loves to quote her].
Burkett will want to get in on the action.
And then there’s always Ron Paul supporter Robert Morrow.
In other news, the RNC has asked Kenyans who have ever had sex with Owebowmao to step forward.
Where’s Dan Rather when the Dems need him.....
=^D
They'd have a better chance though, finding those who don't support him, like Paulistas, Romneybots, etc. That's another 10%.
NOw if you ask most Palinistas, they would most all think Rick would make a good POTUS and an even better VPOTUS!
I’m betting there are tons of anti-Obama Illinis, but do you think the media would have had ANY interest at all in that? Texas has a large democrat population, so of course a lot of people will be anti-Perry. But the media will lap it up.
Of course, Obama could just come here to Free Republic. Plenty of people, even a few Texans, willing to help him out with criticism of Perry.
Did they call Karl Rove yet? I’m sure he’ll be very helpful in cutting down Perry, so long as the Fox News cameras aren’t rolling. That paper thin ‘Perry and I are pals’ routine must just kill him inside.
