Open Letter to Rick Perry on his Progressive Record

 

Governor Perry, let me be clear: It is not that you supported Al Gore that worries us.


It is that you supported Hillary Clinton's health care plan.


You pushed for federal bailout and stimulus funds.


You support welfare for illegal immigrants.


You tried to forcibly vaccinate 12-year-old girls against sexually transmitted diseases by executive order.

Ron Paul with Ronald Reagan

You raised taxes twice.


And, state debt has more than doubled in your tenure as governor, pushing Texas to the brink of our constitutional debt limit.


It's that you supported ALL of these bad ideas that are inconsistent with how most Republicans understand conservatism, yet you now try to swagger your way into the Tea Party.


Governor Perry, with all due respect, you have used great rhetoric. But you will have to answer to the voters of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and across the country as to why that rhetoric does not match your record.


~ Congressman Ron Paul

Nehemiah, when Governor of Judah, refused to use tax payer money for personal gain or to build the Federal Government it was apart of at the time the Kingdom of Persia (modern day Iran)

Nehemiah Chapter 5 Verses 14-19 (New Living Translation)


¹⁴ For the entire twelve years that I was governor of Judah—from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of the reign of King Artaxerxes —neither I nor my officials drew on our official food allowance. ¹⁵ The former governors, in contrast, had laid heavy burdens on the people, demanding a daily ration of food and wine, besides forty pieces of silver. Even their assistants took advantage of the people. But because I feared God, I did not act that way.
 ¹⁶ I also devoted myself to working on the wall and refused to acquire any land. And I required all my servants to spend time working on the wall. ¹⁷ I asked for nothing, even though I regularly fed 150 Jewish officials at my table, besides all the visitors from other lands! ¹⁸ The provisions I paid for each day included one ox, six choice sheep or goats, and a large number of poultry. And every ten days we needed a large supply of all kinds of wine. Yet I refused to claim the governor’s food allowance because the people already carried a heavy burden.
