Face Us - Perry Owes Texans the Truth (new ad)

[sonias]

Great new print ad from the BACK TO BASICS PAC! You can view the whole page ad that ran in 41 Texas newspapers criticizing Gov. Rick Perry. http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/politics/entries/2010/10/05/group_hits_perry_with_new_prin.html">Story from AAS here.

Perry brags that he's responsible for an economic miracle in Texas.
The real miracle is that Texas is still kicking after Perry's disastrous 10- year career as governor, and looming $21 billions budget shortfall.

After enjoying a record 10 years as governor, Rick Perry travels from one campaign stop to the next, spinning the yarn that everything's A-Okay in Texas.

Don't believe him. Rick Perry is a savvy, 25- year career politician. He sticks to friendly audiences full of handpicked supporters, because he can't peddle his hype to a group of real, struggling Texas families. He's rather hide out in his $10,000-a-month, taxpayer-funded rental mansion than defend his miserable record.

What he brags about most is balancing the Texas budget. He always fails to mention, however, his letter to President Obama accepting the $16 billion share of the Washington D.C, stimulus money to fill the gaping hole in his last budget. If Perry hadn't begged for stimulus money, Texas might be in as bad a shape as California.

And since he took the stimulus money and ran, we have watched government-related jobs shoot up, while private sector job losses have left us stuck in an even deeper ditch. Perry won't tell you that the Texas unemployment rate has grown more than the nation's as a whole.

Now, with his new record-setting, $21 billion budget hole, Perry's really outdone himself. And he won't have President Obama's stimulus money to come to his rescue this time around.

Perry's $21 billion shortfall means:

Hundreds of thousands of children could be cut from the Children's Health Insurance Program which helps working parents afford coverage for their kids;

Skyrocketing tuition rates as parents are struggling to find the funds to provide a brighter future for their kids;

Key Perry allies will balance the budget on the backs of schoolchildren by stuffing more kids into already crowed classrooms.

Instead of shooting straight about his record, Rick Perry is busy demanding credit for the success of everyday Texans. He even takes credit for the hard work of Texas small businesses after he raised their unemployment taxes to the highest level in a decade.

The success of Texas families and small business owners can be creditited to their own determination, in the face of Perry's reckless mismanagement of our state.

Texans are fed up with the cronyism and incompetence that corrupt our government.

FACE US, The People Of Texas.

5. There was an article in the paper today about Perry not seeking endorsements

This even offended the wing nuts in Tyler, who wrote him a very blistering editorial because he refuses to meet with any editorial board & ask for their paper's endorsement.

You would think they would finally get a fucking clue as to how arrogant this asshole is to think he doesn't have to do *ANYTHING* to get elected. But no. The dumb asses will still vote for him anyway. :eyes: :banghead:
