Republican Gov. Rick Perry refused to honor United Nations Day, even as President Bush signed a U.N. proclamation, because doing so would be inconsistent with the governor's views, his spokeswoman said.
In his proclamation, Bush also had urged governors to "honor the observance of United Nations Day," which was celebrated Sunday around the world to commemorate the date the organization was founded in 1945.
"It was a conscious decision to not issue the proclamation out of concern over the lack of support the U.N. has shown for United States efforts to bring freedom and democracy to the world," Perry spokeswoman Kathy Walt said.
Excellent.
Another reason that Texas kicks ass!

Now I can really say he's done something I wholeheartedly support!

Why? Don't know much about Perry, but I like what I'm hearing here.

I like this guy. Can we flesh out the rest of his views on other hot-button issues? I'd say this guy has the goods to be a contender for 2008.
Good fer him!
Tis a great thing to live in Texas, wouldn't want to be any place else.
Sweet! Don't mess with Texas, y'all!
Good for him. Until they STOP BEING CORRUPT they shouldn't "be" recognized.
They are UNworthy!
