Persistent Perry

Rick Perry speaks at a Texas TEA Party

Texas Governor Rick Perry has made many bold moves while he has been the leader of the Lone Star State. He is a social conservative who has made his Christian beliefs publicly known.

Perry spoke at a few of the TEA Parties in Texas yesterday, rallying attendees with remarks of supporting states’ rights. He said, “The federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt.”

He also provoked some interesting thoughts of Texas seceding from the United States. On April 9, the Governor gave his support of a state resolution affirming states’ rights under the 10th Amendment.

It doesn’t appear likely that Texas would once again become its own sovereignty, but I do hope the current White House and Congress would come to an understanding of how serious Americans are about the dissatisfaction of the economic decisions they are making and the “big government” philosophy they are following.

Living in Oklahoma, there are only a few areas I could be envious of Texas. One area especially would be that Texans have a better governor.
