Given the rumors about Governor Perry he may want to avoid going to tea bagging parties.

Thanks for the invite but Wall Street took care of any tax cuts for several generations to come. The only rally I would attend would be public hangings of those that had anything to do with Wall Street's crimes. By the way, State Rights was settled on April 9th, 1865 at Appomattox. Meaning - you can choose what color your license plates are to be but try and coin your own currency and a boot will be on your neck so fast you won't know what hit you.

Well, there will be plenty of "good ole boys" attending tea parties today all across the country. Gov. Perry will be one. About damn time he said what needed to be said. Look like Gov. Perry is singing a different tune now. Rick Perry, After Raising Secession, Calls For Fed Help With Swine Flu. 04/26/09 01:25 PM Less than two weeks after raising the prospect of seceding from the union, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is calling on the federal government to come to his state's aid in the midst of the swine flu outbreak. The San Marcos Record reports: Gov. Rick Perry today in a precautionary measure requested the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide 37,430 courses of antiviral medications from the Strategic National Stockpile to Texas to prevent the spread of swine flu. [...] "As a precautionary measure, I have requested that medication be on hand in Texas to help curb the spread of swine flu by helping those with both confirmed and suspected cases of this swine flu virus, as well as healthcare providers who may have come in contact with these patients," said Gov. Rick Perry. "We will continue to work with our local, state and federal health officials to ensure public safety is protected." Back on April 15, Perry was taking a rather different stance towards the federal government: "There's a lot of different scenarios," Perry said. "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot." He said when Texas entered the union in 1845 it was with the understanding it could pull out. However, according to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, Texas negotiated the power to divide into four additional states at some point if it wanted to but not the right to secede.
