Mayor news stories when Rick Perry as Governor of Texas. A shot in the arm: In 2007, Perry bypassed the state legislature and signed an executive order making Texas the only state in the nation to require 6th grade girls to receive a vaccination against a sexually-transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. At the time, Perry's former chief of staff, Mike Toomey, was a lobbyist for Merck, the manufacturer of the vaccine. When conservative Christians protested, the legislature repealed his order.
Rick Perry Governor Biggest Controversies

Rick Perry Illegal Immigration

Rick Perry has basically taken the George Bush approach on illegal immigration, and basically ignored the issue, and done nothing to slow it down. Numbers USA gives Rick Perry a pathetic D rating: Rick Perry and Immigration

Perry has not been mister Courage in Texas. Last year when Arizona stood alone against the national media in its fight to gain control of the open borders of the state, Governor Rick Perry of Texas was nowhere to be found. Nope he was silent. While he has made speeches in the state, and apparently out of the state, chastising the US government for it's lack of border enforcement, he has done nothing as governor of the states with the longest international boundary. Just last week Mexican military forces crossed into Texas for a brief moment. But, Perry has not been a voice on this issue, not done anything to spur federal action. Rick Perry Governor immigration

He really does go the way the wind blows. He talked that the end of sanctuary cities was an "emergency" around election time. but when the chips were down, he left Texas to gallivant around the country trying to build up support for his candidacy. we couldn't get sanctuary cities legislation passed because the money people didn't want sanctuary cities stopped. Perry Homes, a major home builder in Texas, gave Rick Perry $1 million in four separate transactions, on two different days, link below the real reason we couldn't get sanctuary cities bill passed in Texas.

Rick Perry Campaign - Presidential

Rick Perry promises to run an impressive presidential campaign, Texas style. The record as Governor of Texas, reflects the similarities of Rick Perry and George W. Bush.
Perry, after all, entered the Texas House in 1984 as a Democrat. He won reelection as a Democrat in 1986 and 1988, the same year he served as state chairman of Al Gore's presidential campaign. Whether Perry left the Democratic Party or the Democratic Party left him, to borrow a phrase from Ronald Reagan, is immaterial. He perceived the long term trend of rising GOP political power in Texas. He also spotted an opportunity to capitalize on that trend by running in 1990 as a Republican against a nationally recognized figure of liberal Democratic politics, Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower. Rick Perry Governor

As for Perry, he did support and sign the Texas Dream Act and he is opposed to any form of physical barrier between the USA and his "darling" political friends in Mexico. Like Bush, Jr., Perry's familiarity with the Mexican political class is too close to allow him to make the right decisions when it comes to protecting the sovereignty and the security of the citizens of the USA.

See link on some of the history and background of Rick Perry, and her is the link to Lelleigh Nelson's other articles. She has written a series on the Phony Right Wing, detailing some of the other RINO"s that are running, just as she did with Rich Perry. She lives near me in the Knoxville, TN area, and I have gotten to know her. She researches things and tells it like it is. Check out some of her other articles. http://www.newswithviews.com/Nelson/kelleighA.htm

The biggest problem most Texans have with Perry is a little deal called the Trans Texas Corridor. Check these sites http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6196406.html and http://www.corridorwatch.org/ttc/index.htm for more information.
Short version is that it was supposed to be massively wide (I believe several football fields wide) and run all the way from the border in Laredo up to St. Louis. The intention was to allow traffic from Mexico to run unimpeded along this corridor with no border checks. Perry was all for it( and it may have been his idea. I don't know) until the property owners affected by this swooped down on lhis head and laid down the law. A proposition was passed by voters to prevent any such action in the future. I can't give you any detail. I didn't even know that it would affect my property until a friend clued me in. Public meetings were not even held until it was supposedly a done deal. I became aware just in time to vote for the proposition to stop it. I was told, but have no confirmation other than word of mouth, that property that had always been protected by Texas Homstead Law was being siezed and owners were not being compensated. The result was that he would not have even been considered for reelection if our choices had not been so poor. Long and short...Do Texans trust Perry? Not one bit further than we can throw him.

Signing an executive order mandating that 11- and 12-year-old girls in Texas be given the vaccine Gardasil was not the move of a "conservative", whether or not the drug had been only on the market a year and had been lobbied by its mfg. quite heavily to the state legislator which were bypassed by Gov. Perry.

The strong debate was all that stood in the way of State mandated medicine which has since proved unsafe in some cases.

And then there is the case of the Texas Super Hwy, again strongly opposed by property owners who would have had to surrender their land. Check this llink out for an indepth analysis. It points out just where he came from and who he is today. It does not paint him as a conservative, but a big gov't NWO RINO.

He basically stood by and prevented Texas from moving forward with legislation that would halt TSA violations of privacy and freedom. This is also BAD. Remember, he still supports the TTC!
