As Americans, we realize that there is no taxpayer money that wasnt first earned through the sweat and toil of one of our citizens. – Rick Perry

If you dont support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol – dont come to Texas. If you dont like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage, dont move to California. – Rick Perry
