Top supporters of Gov. Rick Perry have started to build the infrastructure that will help the governor spread his message and test the waters of another presidential run.
Austin lobbyist and former Perry chief of staff Mike Toomey with top contributor Brint Ryan sent out a notice today to contributors of Make Us Great Again that theyre gearing up another group that will help finance Perrys economic model.
Make Us Great Again raised $5.6 million two years ago to support Perrys presidential run with ads, polling and outreach. The note from Toomey and Ryan to those contributors said they would like to transfer the unspent $212,608 balance of Make Us Great Again to the newly-formed Americans for Economic Freedom.
Americans for Economic Freedom, according to the filing with the IRS, is to promote the legal and regulatory system that, not incidentally, has been championed by Perry. The backbone of his political message, both as governor and in his presidential run, was low-regulation, low-taxes and lawsuit limits.

(15,220 posts)Let these idiots spend all of their money on a campaign that will go no where! As dumb as most Republicans are, I don't think many can forgive Ricky's last presidential campaign debacles. He made a fool out of himself, and the fact that he's too stupid to realize that and stay OUT of the race, shows just how truly out of touch he is!
