Rick Perry bringing New Hampshire political activists to Texas

Mounting evidence that Gov. Rick Perry is preparing for another presidential run, about a dozen New Hampshire Republicans are scheduled to visit Texas next to meet with the governor.

The New Hampshire Journal is reporting that Perry has engaged GOP strategist Mike Dennehy to organize the meeting. Dennehy is well known in the Granite State, the first state to vote in presidential primaries, where he helped engineer victories for John McCain.

Dennehy, according to the report, is working through Americans for Economic Freedom, a group created by with seed money left over from Perry’s last presidential campaign and organized by his top supporters.

Perry has been using the group to promote his message for economic growth, and to visit Democratic-controlled the states to meet with business owners and run ads featuring the governor.

[font color=green]But will Perry have time to fit the political activists into his schedule? After all, he still needs to meet with the taxpayer-paid defense attorneys that are trying to keep him out of jail for bribery and extortion because of his efforts to manipulate the Public Integrity Unit in Travis County.[/font]

With all the grammatical errors. Why can't people spell and/or write anymore?

but probably because the columnist was educated in Texas. It's a shame that someone like myself can write as well as a professional journalist.

She was amazed at the spelling and grammatical mistakes made by people with degrees in journalism. She not only did not have a degree but English wasn't her native language.
