#1 - For his first term, he was APPOINTED to office.
#2 - He supports the Trans-Texas Corridor, which is using a foreign company (Spanish) to build a MASSIVE roadway splitting the state of Texas in two.
#3 - Forced immunization of our daughters, a drug to stop a specific std because the std leads to cancer. This is a NEW DRUG, and the ramifications of what is going to happen to these girls - sterilization? deformaties?
#4 - He has vetoed the subsidizing of health insurance for COMMUNITY COLLEGES in the state because of alleged improprieties (unproven); he will not disclose his "facts" as to why the veto was needed.
#5 - Turning a blind eye to the massive ILLEGAL immigration at the Southern borders (mostly, not all), that is bleeding social services dry, increasing Social Security and ID fraud, and causing loss of jobs to poorer citizens of all colors.
Feel free to share any other gripes about this man...can we impeach him? Is there substancial reason to do so yet? 062907 12:

Ecaria, it looks like #4 needs to have an addendum to the gripe? Perry probably didn't like school and he was able to slide by w/o a good education (which is showing) & negativity toward teachers! 070207 9p

Good Point, Michael C! He probably has stepped over his authority. Look at what Pres.Bush did today (7/3), he set Libby free from serving a full prison sentence. Sounds like two birds who both like to write their own rules and now allow current laws to do their job.

I have a gripe with him related to your #3. He used a power that is supposed to be only for emergencies to force the immunizations.
The reason the governor has that power is because the Texas legislature only meets once every 2 years. The governor may need to act while the legislature is out. However, the legislature was in session. He just decided to shove this down the throats of his citizens. Given that the requirement will not take effect for a couple of months and the legislature was in session, how could it possibly be an emergency? It was a clear abuse of power and circumvention of the legislature.

Well, there's the pitiful job he did with the Texas education system--not to mention being rude and dismissive to Texas teachers.
