Our goal is to displace the entrenched powers in Washington, restore the rightful balance between the state and federal government. – Rick Perry
Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation – not cynicism and combat. – Rick Perry
Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility, or the ability to vote with your feet. 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
Our citizens are tired of big government raising their taxes and cooking up new ways to micromanage their lives, our citizens are tired of big government killing jobs with their do-gooder policies. In short the people are Fed Up! – Rick Perry
