when Perry told the state food stamp workers to go home as Churches were going to feed the hunger children of Texas. Please Google the entire story as the State got fined about 3.7 million dollars for messing up the paperwork, by temporary workers, after the Churches told the TEA Party that they could not handle the needs of the poor and get the Federal Food Stamp program back up and running.

I believe that Perry will get Cornyn and Cruz to weasel under and bypass a FEMA application by going to the Senate and asking for aid the old fashioned way. Perry said he would shut down all kinds of federal agencies and departments when he became president. Perry has been practicing deregulation and succession using the people of Texas. I believe that there is an atmosphere in Texas in which some business follow the lead of, do not worry about regulations. Will Perry hand Obama another letter Thursday instead of submitting an application to FEMA? Perry will try to find blame in Obama.

Perry has absolutely no respect for the people of this state, this country. It is only business and deregulation that he stands up for. Please Google his dealings with Hurricane Rita and the EPA.
