Perry, Texas, Issued Disaster Declaration for State 16 Flu cases, False/Positive Flu Test

Perry's disaster declaration, which he announced Wednesday, will allow officials to begin emergency protective measures and seek reimbursement from the federal government. Perry also said the CDC has approved his request for additional courses of antiviral medication. He says Texas has 850,000 more courses coming; the
state already has 840,000.

Secession-ready Texas has received most federal disaster assistance of any state.

Just weeks after declaring that Texas might secede from the union because "the federal government has become oppressive," Gov. Rick Perry (R) today asked for more federal aid when he "issued a disaster declaration" because of the swine flu. Mother Jones' Jonathan Stein found that, since the beginning of FEMA's record-keeping, Texas has actually received more federal assistance from FEMA than any other state:

Texas has a “Flu Crises” they would have more than 16 cases.
This really needs a hard look, $BILLIONS have gone to Texas, the home state of are X president, he has had a direct cash cow from Washington and Tax Dollars.

1. Perry has NO business requesting federal funds for ANYTHING for TX.

He advocates secession. If he wants TX to get medical emergency funds he needs to RESIGN and let his successor man up and do it.

3. So punish all Texans, even the Dems who voted against him,

just to get even for Perry running his idiotic mouth?

5. No, not at all. PERRY NEEDS TO RESIGN and let his successor do his

job, since he is opposed to doing it.

2. A disaster declaration for a few cases of mild flu.

Does anyone else see the cognitive dissonance
in this?

4. Perry should declare himself a disaster. n/t
