Governor Perry was proud to announce today that CNBC, the financial news network, has ranked Texas as the number one state to do business for 2008.
Several factors contributed to the Lone Star State's number one ranking. CNBC ranked Texas #1 among all other states for its economy. Over the last twelve months, our state has added 262,000 new jobs. Texas has created 1,210,000 net new jobs since 2003, - more than any other state in the nation! More on this can be found in the latest edition of Perry Notes.
Texas also ranked at the top of the CNBC rankings in the Transportation category, and third in Cost of Living and Access to Capital, all appealing to businesses looking to move to the Lone Star State.
As CNBC mentions, Texas is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other state including Southwest Airlines, AT&T, Dell, J.C. Penney, D.R. Horton, and ExxonMobil among others. Texas is also the number one exporting state in the country, and the only state in the nation with our own power grid.

Pray For Victory To Senator John McCain
Please join me in my grassroots prayers:
In The Name Of God, Peace Be Unto You, and Unto all the Family.
In The Name Of God, I want You, to join me, in my sincere prayers, for Senator John McCain, to be victorious, in November; and by the Baraqhk of Sheik Ahmad Tejan, this prayer is scaled to prevail and sustain.
And, we hope in the name of Ahnabi Issa [Jesus Christ](SAW); and Ahnabi Muhammad (S.A.W [Salalahu- Alaihi- Wasala'am: Peace Be Upon Him]), to add blessings and more wisdom and knowledge, granted to the people, by God, the final decision maker; and to whom we pray, to bestow the "Crown of Victory", on Senator John McCain's head. Peace will continue to prevail.
In the name of God, I want us to end this prayer, by asking God, to show us his mercy, through the granting of our wishes, for Senator John McCain, to win.
Before summoning this prayer, a vision appeared to me, two years ago, and there was a message that came with it, concerning the wonderful Governor of Texas; and as messengers should do, I told the public, in order to record it.
After various and numerous debates in public, about the experiences of my vision, and the interpretations which came as feed backs, it was made apparent to me, that time would be of essence, to unravel the mystery that was on hand, relating to the principles by which God, intended for us, to live with, in order to live purposeful lives. I found an example for a person, who can give up personal interest (to run for the presidency), in the interest to continue to serve the great State of Texas.
Governor Rick Perry, has demonstrated the ability and conquered the challenge to pass up an opportunity, in favor of a friend whom he now supports; and my hope about that vision, and it's interpretations can, and, will bid on time as a factor, for that reality to come to fruition, if he so choose.
I, cannot, continue to harbor my vision in Utopia, obscuring the realities of now, which indicates all pointers, that Gov. Rick Perry, has given his support to Senator John McCain, in preference to pursuing personal ambitions, a quality that warrants the support of all grassroots, striving to elect someone, who's prepared to be Commander-In-Chief; and none other than Senator John McCain.
In his manifesto, Senator John McCain, has promised to be the one to make a difference; and to do so, not by viciously cutting down his opponents (who're maliciously preaching and practicing hate, against his age and wisdom); and are desperate to deceive, the masses of people, for their own
political gains.
In the name of God, we pray that Senator John McCain, be blessed enormously to fortify the hopes of a faithful people, by fulfillment of the people's desires for a minimum wage increase of at least $10.00 an hour, for the working people (considering America to be the richest in the world), and, if America agrees to drill her own oil, and harness the solar energy abundantly available, and use all the wind power, so much plentiful in the United States, there'll be less suffering to the people; and a release from the dependency on foreign oil.
America will be able to save Billions of dollars being paid to foreign countries, and also contributing to the economic crisis.
Affordable Health Care, Housing, Education, Jobs, Energy Solutions, Economic Solutions, War Against Terrorism, are all priorities for Senator John McCain.
Now, let us pray to God, to end all doubts, by granting many wins in polls nationwide, and an unexpected landslide victory, to Senator John McCain, making him the 44Th President of the United States of America. Oh God, let it be; Amen.
May God bless You; and bless America.
Thank You.
Gibrill Mustapha.
