Governor's Mailbag
Man, I thought I had a lot of readers telling me how the cow ate the cabbage. Gov. Rick Perry's constituents, obviously, do some chewing of their own.
A look at some of the e-mails our fellow Texans sent to the honorable governor concerning his most recent proposals to vaccinate girls against HPV and sell the lottery to raise money for cancer research, public education and health care for the uninsured:
"YOU BETTER HOPE THERE IS NO HELL...don't worry, you will have company forever in hell. It will be THE BUSH FAMILY" (ok, wow)
"I am firmly opposed to the sell (sic) of the Lottery....Almost two thirds of the voters opposed you in the last election." (Nice reminder.)
"I am a lifelong Republican and apparently you never really were one at all." (This was in all caps, but I'm too tired to scream)
"Ok, here is the deal. I just wanted to way (sic) in on the two things I just heard Rick Perry is trying to get done. I am against them....You may not be so lucky in next time to win the election." (At the end of her detailed opposition she does include a "thanks for your time" for helping her solve a housing problem)
"No way, do NOT sell the lotto...And as for the money going to cure cancer, get real." (Let me guess, not a member of the Optimists.)
"Are you crazy?" (I think this is rhetorical)
And then this: "We need common sense solutions. Keep up the great work."

Perry should sell all his AquaNet to raise money for cancer research. Leave the Lotto alone.
As for the vaccines, let's the parents parent and make the decisions they feel are best for their children. Stop legislating families. The TTC is enough of a failure - don't run our families like our land.
