Texas Governor Perry: Texans May Want To Secede From The Union

Governor Perry and the patriots of Texas sent a strong message to Obama's federal government during over 800 Tea Parties nationwide, suggesting that Texas may want to secede from the union.

Don't Mess With Texas, Obama!

Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall — one of three tea parties he was attending across the state — that officials in Washington have abandoned the country's founding principles of limited government. He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt.

Perry repeated his running theme that Texas' economy is in relatively good shape compared with other states and with the "federal budget mess." Many in the crowd held signs deriding President Barack Obama and the $786 billion federal economic stimulus package.

Perry called his supporters patriots. Later, answering news reporters' questions, Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to sucede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that

Perry is running for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a fellow Republican.
