Perry for president
The author, Steve Foster, couldn’t have said it better when he used the phrase, “Texas tested, tried and trusted.” I can’t think of a better American success story than the great state of Texas.
California farmers and businesses are moving their farms and companies to Texas in record numbers, taking advantage of great political leadership and a business-friendly environment. Our entire nation has the opportunity to share in their success through the presidential candidacy of former Texas governor, Rick Perry.
Mr. Perry is the longest-serving governor in the history of Texas and, under his leadership, Texas has prospered, while left-leaning states like California and New York continue to suffer.
The last thing America needs is another rich 1-percenter who claims to feel our pain. Bill and Hillary Clinton recently reported personal income of over $30 million in just 18 months.
The time has come for real change, and Rick Perry has the experience and results to put America back on track.
