I supported Arizona's immigration law by joining in that lawsuit to defend it. Every day I have Texans on that border that are doing their job.

Yeah, that's a cool name, but it's a monstrous intrusion into our affairs.

But it wasn't until I graduated from Texas A & M University and joined the United States Air Force, flying C-130's all around the globe, that I truly appreciated the blessings of freedom.

I grew up in a house with no running water, 16 miles from the closest place that had a post office. I had a very parochial view of the world.

Ted Cruz will point Americans back to the principles established by our Constitution enabling you to live free.

What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.

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!

Beautiful, luscious and flowing. Atop the governor's head.

When I make a vow to God, then I would suggest to you that's even stronger than a handshake in Texas.
Rick Perry

Who can be against progress, after all? But it's a fraudulent use of the word - because for the Progressive, progress is marked not be how free you are, but how much government can 'do' for you.

I had the great privilege in 2011 and 2012 of learning a lot about what it takes to run for the presidency of the United States. It is one of the greatest challenges that any human being could take upon themselves.

You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn't raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund?
Rick Perry

Aggies have a really interesting way of admitting defeat. We've never been outscored. We just ran out of time.
Rick Perry
-
The fact is there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption.
Rick Perry
-
I've always believed the mission is greater than the man.
Rick Perry
-
The liberals think government exists to fix what's wrong with America. They find fault with our Constitution, our economic model and our core values. We disagree with the premise of their argument. We believe there's nothing wrong with America that an extra dose of freedom won't cure.
Rick Perry
-
Spreading the wealth punishes success while setting America on course for a greater dependency on government.
Rick Perry
-
It's time to believe again in the potential of private enterprise set free from the shackles of over-bearing federal government.
Rick Perry
-
We're at the end of an era of failed leadership. We have been led by a divider Barack Obama who has sliced and diced the electorate, pitting American against American for political purposes.
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 don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage, don't move to California.
Rick Perry

Canada, the United States and Mexico, we developed these energy reserves that we have in this North American region. And you can see a not only driving down the cost of electricity but a major manufacturing boom in this country. Couple that with tax policy, reduction, reducing the corporate tax rate, and that I think a renaissance in manufacturing like we've never seen in this country and really drive the economy.
Rick Perry
-
I know for a fact that Ted Cruz every day uses two checklists - to guide him through his personal and professional life - and that is the Bible and the U.S. Constitution.
Rick Perry
-
As Americans, we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility.
Rick Perry
-
The citizens of America and the citizens of Texas expect to be able to live in safety in their communities. That's what the rule of law is truly all about.
