Mandatory HPV vaccine. i thought Republicans were against big government? So much for personal choice. I am sure the pharmaceutical company getting the contract is real happy right now.
Perry is for sale. You lobby on his behalf you get what you want.
Corruption.

WE lived in Texas under Ann Richards for starters and you were lucky if you got insurance because of the weather conditions. When you did get it the cost was so high many were torn between carrying it or taking a chance. Of course if you had any mortgage you had to carry it. WE lived in Ca during J. Browns years as govn. We lived in an area that borders the fire district, but never was there a bad fire in our area: we had to pay $1400 a year insurance (in the days when hazard ins on a $100,000 home was about $300.) What you are referring to is not unusual. As for mandatory HPV vaccine, it never went into effect, you know that and it was not mandatory. Parents were going to be allowed to opt out. Maybe you need to check to see what is really law and what was almost and how it would have worked has it become law.
though I may not agree with some on here that do not like Perry, like Casper, they do have legit arguments. I just don't see yours as reasons to support or not support a candidate.
