Child from Mexico Dies in Texas, Perry, Request National Disaster after “6 Cases Erupt“.
Child from Mexico Dies in Texas, Perry National Disaster Texas after “6 Cases Erupt“.

6 Flu cases in Texas and Millions of tax dollars requested as Disaster Relief, what a crock. How can 6 cases of Flu be some sort of Disaster? Many of the cases in the US are people from Mexico, not that it has spread to anyone.

With Texas on the border of Mexico, thousands crossing everyday this is just a request for millions in funds from the jerk that said they should secede.

13. Perry Declares Disaster Declaration


Gov. Perry Bolsters Precautionary Measures to Address Swine Flu in Texas

April 29, 2009

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today bolstered the state’s precautionary measures to address the swine flu threat as a result of confirmed cases in certain parts of the state by issuing a disaster declaration for the entire state of Texas. The disaster declaration allows the state to implement emergency protective measures and seek reimbursement under the federal Stafford Act for protective measures associated with the state’s response to this public health threat.

http://governor.state.tx.us/


“The Disaster Declaration allows the state to Implement Emergency Protective” after 6 cases after a Child from Mexico Dies. Horrible but not the same strain that has been killing people in Mexico, all in US have been treated successfully with only one hospitalized and now home.

6. Is that the nation of Texas?
Or does he consider Texas part of the United States so he can get something from the federal government.

10. I had a Memo from the Whitehouse
I had a Memo from the Whitehouse that went out after Katrina that read in part, how it was a good thing Louisiana was a Democratic state. So I guess that means Texas should be treated like Katrina Victims.

The Insanity of the Bush Administration will linger for decades, maybe centuries. People in the south are still are pissed off about loosing the Civil War, Believe it or not.

12. CDC: First shipments of federally stockpiled Tamiflu begin arriving in states, all due May 3
CDC: First shipments of federally stockpiled Tamiflu begin arriving in states, all due May 3, they should ship half of that to Mexico to stop it moveing into us and around the world.
