Put out your OWN damn fires, Rick "John Galt" Perry!
The nerve of him looking for - gasp - Federal funds to control those forest fires.

Will Texas never tire of these fools?

7. It'll be interesting to see the Tea party take on this...I live in the big middle of it.
My partner and I saw two fires yesterday as we drove in Henderson County. My sister lives in Midland,and has seen a TON of fires west of there (She's a biologist with TDH).Most of the towns are served by VFDs.Most of our National Guard are in Afghanistan.Perry has chosen to cut resources offered by the State to the bone.

14. I was thinking of you yesterday when I saw clips of the fires.
There are some in Texas like you who see clearly, and know what the reality is.

You have done your utmost to get people to THINK, and you knew all of this was a possibility.

It must hurt deeply to see this, and know there could be a much better outcome, if only people would THINK.

:hug:

10. Rick Perry: "I hate the government! Except when I really need it."
What a hypocrite. Why does Texas keep re-electing this fool?
