Governor Perry's Remarks at Cedar Park event

Wed, 05/09/2012 - 6:15pm – manager

Thank you. It is great to be in Cedar Park.

I want to thank Dr. Charles Schwertner for his kind introduction.

I want you to know I am 100 percent behind Dr. Schwertner’s campaign in the race for the Texas Senate.

He is a tried and true conservative who is dedicated to limited government, and creating unlimited opportunity.

Plus, I’m getting old and you never know when you may need a good orthopedic surgeon.

I also want you to know I support your outstanding councilman who is running for the state legislature, Tony Dale.

Take the Texas Budget Compact to your local Republican Convention This Weekend

Fri, 04/20/2012 - 2:56pm – manager

This week I announced my Texas Budget Compact, which I believe is critical to keeping our state budget balanced, keeping government growth and spending in check and keeping Texas jobs and economy growing.

The Texas Budget Compact includes truth-in-budgeting reforms to end payment deferrals and other budgetary shell games, a stricter spending cap and a renewed commitment to fund the priorities of our state without raising your taxes.

Perry says he's not done; slams Obama

Feb. 7, 2012

Houston Chronicle

By Peggy Fikac

ROUND ROCK — Gov. Rick Perry came out swinging Monday in his first speech since dropping out of the presidential race, attacking President Barack Obama for “misguided socialist policies” and vowing to remain in the public fray.

Gov. Perry Announces EA to Expand Austin Facility, Creating 300 Jobs

July 18, 2011

Office of the Governor

Gov. Rick Perry was joined by EA Games President Frank Gibeau and EA Sports COO Daryl Holt to announce that EA is expanding its Austin operations and creating 150 full-time jobs and 150 contract positions. The governor credited Texas' sound economic principles for helping grow the video game industry in the state.

"On behalf of the State of Texas, I'd like to congratulate EA on expanding its presence in Austin, and welcome the quality jobs that will be created here as a result," Gov. Perry said. "Much like the video gaming industry, our state is built on the foundation of competition; thanks to our low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory climate, fair legal system and skilled workforce, we continue to attract companies from around the nation."

Break the spend-and-borrow cycle

July 14, 2011

The Washington Post

Rick Perry and Nikki Haley

As governors of states whose residents, like all Americans, are desperate for the restoration of fiscal responsibility in Washington, we are proud to have signed the “Cut, Cap and Balance Pledge” amid the debate over once again raising the federal debt ceiling.

We oppose an increase in the federal debt limit unless three common-sense conditions are met: substantial cuts in spending; enforceable spending caps to put the country on a path to a balanced budget; and congressional passage of a balanced-budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment should include a requirement for a congressional supermajority to approve any raises in taxes.

At heart, the pledge represents the reality that yet another temporary fix to our nation’s budgetary woes is no fix at all. The time has come for all of us to begin holding the federal government to the same common-sense standards in place in most states, including South Carolina and Texas.

Gov. Perry Announces M&G Group to Create 250 Jobs in Corpus Christi

July 11, 2011

Office of the Governor

Gov. Rick Perry today announced that M&G Group, an international PET resin manufacturer, has chosen to locate its third North American plant in Corpus Christi. This expansion is expected to create at least 250 direct jobs at the facility, and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in capital investment.

"I'm pleased M&G Group has chosen Corpus Christi as the location of its new North American plant, creating hundreds of jobs for Texans and further strengthening our state economy, and wish them continued success at this new facility," Gov. Perry said. "This announcement is great news for South Texas and for the Lone Star State as we continue to attract companies from around the world to create jobs in Texas thanks to our low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory climate, fair legal system and skilled workforce."

REAGAN: Reagan's vision lives on in Texas

June 25, 2011

The Reagan Report

Michael Reagan

If you don't believe Reaganomics can still work in this day and age, for whatever reason, I say you should look no further than the state of Texas.

Under the leadership of Gov. Rick Perry, Texas has championed and built upon the concepts my father used to rebuild America in the 1980s.

The results, again, are unassailable.

Over the decade between April 2001 and April 2011, more than 730,000 private-sector jobs were created in the Lone Star State. During that same stretch of time, the next-best state added just over 90,000 and the nation as a whole lost 2.2 million.

Governor Rick Perry endorses Mitt Romney for President:

"Mitt Romney has earned the Republican Presidential nomination through hard-work, a strong organization, and disciplined message of restoring America after nearly four years of failed job-killing policies from President Obama and his administration," said Governor Perry. "So today I join the many conservative Republicans across the nation in endorsing Mitt Romney for President and pledge to him, my constituents and the Republican Party that I will continue to work hard to help defeat President Obama. American jobs, economic stability and national security depend on electing a new president. Mitt 's vision and record of private sector success will put America back on the path of job creation, economic opportunity and limited government."

Statement by Gov. Rick Perry on U.S. Supreme Court Hearing on Obamacare

March 26, 2012

Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement as the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on the constitutionality of Obamacare:

"Today is a landmark moment in the ongoing struggle against the Obama Administration's continued pattern of massive federal overreach and consolidation of power, as well as the resulting erosion of individual liberties. I remain hopeful and confident that through the efforts of officials including Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the Supreme Court will concur with the judgment of other federal courts and put an end to the unprecedented and dangerous overreach of Obamacare."

Statement by Gov. Rick Perry on U.S. Senate Passing Congressional Insider Trading Ban

March 23, 2012

Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement on the U.S. Senate's passage of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which bans insider trading among members of Congress:

"As one of the first to call for the criminalization of insider trading among members of Congress, I believe the Senate today sent an important message that Congress should live under the same rules as everyone else. Much work remains to be done to reign in the federal government's out-of-control spending and scale back its ever-expanding overreach, and I will continue working with conservative reformers to make Washington as inconsequential in Americans' daily lives as possible."

Gov. Perry: Lawsuit Reforms will Expedite Justice for Legitimate Claims and Help Strengthen Texas' Economic Climate

March 14, 2011

HOUSTON - Gov. Rick Perry today reiterated his commitment to further strengthening Texas' legal system by creating a "loser pays" system to provide stronger protections against frivolous lawsuits, establishing an early dismissal option for frivolous lawsuits, ensuring new laws cannot create causes of action unless expressly established by the Legislature, and setting up speedier trials and limited discovery for lawsuits with claims between $10,000 and $100,000. The governor was joined by Rep. Brandon Creighton and Sen. Joan Huffman, who are sponsoring House Bill 274 and Senate Bill 13 to address this issue.

Texas Registered Nurse and Advanced Practice Nurse PAC Endorses Gov. Perry for Re-election

October 29, 2010

AUSTIN – Gov. Perry today received the endorsement of the Texas Registered Nurse and Advanced Practice Nurse PAC (RN/APN PAC) which represents the political arm of four statewide nursing associations: Texas Nurses Association (TNA), Coalition for Nurses in Advanced Practice (CNAP), Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists (TANA) and Texas Nurse Practitioners (TNP).

“Gov. Perry’s solid record of supporting Texas nurses speaks volumes,” said Susan Sportsman, a registered nurse and president of TNA. “Under his leadership $100 million has been dedicated to nursing education to address our needs. Gov. Perry continues to demonstrate his support by ensuring we have the resources we need to continue providing quality health care for Texans.”

“Gov. Perry recognizes the essential role advanced practice nurses play in providing primary care and other essential health care services,” said Jean Gisler, a family nurse practitioner and chair of CNAP. “The governor has helped sustain quality health care for families across the state and his support makes us proud to endorse him for the general election.”

The Texas Nurses Association seeks to promote excellence in nursing by helping nurses achieve quality patient care through high standards of practice, legislative involvement, and public policy advocacy. The mission of the Coalition for Nurses in Advance Practice is to create a legal and regulatory climate in which Texas Advanced Practice Nurses can use their full potential to improve the health and well-being of all Texans. The Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists works to advance patient safety and the profession of nurse anesthesia. Texas Nurse Practitioners works to promote the professional excellence of nurse practitioners, and to support quality health care through leadership, education and advocacy.

“Nurses play a vital role in providing quality patient care for families across our state,” said Gov. Perry. “I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Texas Registered Nurse and Advanced Practice Nurse PAC and proud of what we’ve accomplished together to address the nursing needs in Texas. I look forward to building on this success so that our health care system can be more affordable and accessible to all Texans.”
