Texans for Rick Perry today launched a new 30 second TV ad called “Clear Choice.”
“Campaigns are about choices, and Texas voters have a clear choice in this election,” said Texans for Rick Perry spokesman Mark Miner. “Gov. Rick Perry’s proven leadership and Texas values have made Texas a model for the rest of the nation, and Gov. Perry will continue to travel the state during these final days speaking directly to voters and promoting positive conservative principles of low taxes, limited government and personal liberty.”
This morning, Governor Perry appeared on Fox News to discuss the latest developments along the “Texas-Mexico border.”
Securing the border is a federal responsibility, but it is Texas' problem. Governor Perry is standing up for Texas, devoting hundreds of millions of dollars toward Texas resources along the border.
Texas, under Governor Perry, has put more boots on the ground, more technology to use, and more targeted operations to reduce crime along the border.
UPDATE: Thanks to your support, Gov. Perry raised over $350,000 on Monday! But as the final days approach, the campaign is not taking anything for granted. You can still support Gov. Perry's organization to get Texans to the polls at http://do.nr/s6
Governor Perry needs your help! To build resources to turn out the vote across Texas during the last week of early voting and on Election Day, the campaign has set a one-day “Money Cannon” goal of $300,000.

As the good news about Texas’ economy continues to spread across the nation, we continue to build momentum for a November 2nd victory. But we cannot take anything for granted. This is the final push! This is the last chance to help us to the finish line!

Earlier this Fall, ABC Houston asked the gubernatorial campaigns, "Introduce me to a Texan (or show me a place where you see Texans) struggling in today's economy and explain how you will help them?"
No doubt, the recession has reached every state in America, and Texas is not immune, but did you know that Texas is where 4 out of 5 new private sector jobs have been created since 2005? For more info, check out the “Right Track video on Governor Perry's YouTube page.”
Texas already looms large in its own imagination. Its elevated self-image didn’t need this: More than half of the net new jobs in the U.S. during the past 12 months were created in the Lone Star State.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 214,000 net new jobs were created in the United States from August 2009 to August 2010. Texas created 119,000 jobs during the same period. If every state in the country had performed as well, we’d have created about 1.5 million jobs nationally during the past year, and maybe “stimulus” wouldn’t be such a dirty word.
What does Austin know that Washington doesn’t? At its simplest: Don’t overtax and -spend, keep regulations to a minimum, avoid letting unions and trial lawyers run riot, and display an enormous neon sign saying, “Open for Business.”
Investor's Business Daily explains that Texas is leaving California in the dust, when it comes to recovering from the recession:
In Texas, the payroll count is back to pre-recession levels. California is nearly 1.5 million jobs in the hole. Why such a difference? Chalk it up to taxes, regulation and attitude.
The contrast between America's two largest states, in terms of both population and economic heft, is as stark as it has ever been. Texas is leading the country out of the recession; California is holding it back.
Additionally, the Milken Institute examined U.S. metropolitan areas and ranked them by how well they are creating and sustaining jobs and economic growth. Texas claims 3 of the top 4 states, 5 of the top 10, and 11 of the strongest 25 cities in America. The Texas Public Policy Foundation also noted this week that in the battle between Texas and California, Texas wins, hands-down:
The report noted that the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed that Texas had gained 129,000 new jobs in the last year—more than half of the national total—while California had lost 112,000 during the same period.
“Texas’s superior economic performance is noteworthy,” Dr. Laffer said. “It’s just striking how the states with no income tax outperform the states with high income taxes. And the reason is simple: employers move to the location that promises better after-tax returns. Texas constantly focuses on improving its economic competitiveness and the citizens of Texas are benefiting because of it.”
The research showed that Texas’ economy has been growing stronger and with less volatility than California or the nation as a whole.
