BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF RICK PERRY BY R.L.HUFFSTUTTER

RICK PERRY IS A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES. HE WAS BORN IN TEXAS IN 1950. HE SERVED HIS NATION IN THE ARMED FORCES AND IS A VETERAN OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE.

HE IS A PILOT AND FLEW THE BIG C-130S. HE REACHED THE RANK OF CAPTAIN AND DUTIFULLY FULFILLED HIS MILITARY OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DECIDING TO RETURN TO CIVILIAN LIFE AND GO INTO BUSINESS WITH HIS DAD.

Governor Perry was born in 1950 and has served the State of Texas as Governor for a number of terms. He is a Republican. He is married to his childhood sweetheart and they have children.

While everyone has the right to the religion of their choice and the right to mention their faith, I admire Rick Perry for his belief in Christianity. He is one Christian who does not seem nervous about mentioning Jesus.

He is not concerned about how politically correct he must be in order not to offend those of other faiths, those who are not at all timid about mentioning their specific religions be they Zen Bhuddists, Muslims, Hindus, or any number of other religions.

It is almost unique that an elected official has the faith to actually mention the name of Jesus Christ in this day and age when the mainstream media is making jokes about Christians. While my faith might not be the same brand of faith as Governor Perry's faith, I have immense respect for him.

Recently, he announced he was having a prayer breakfast. As one might expect, a group of atheists who do not understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights when it comes to religion, filed a lawsuit, yes a lawsuit, to keep this man from exercising his freedom as a citizen of the United States.

Rick Perry wasn't shaken up by the group of non-believers who claim their freedom from religion should be the muscle to keep him from praying, say the blessing in Jesus's name, enjoying what would most likely include pork sausage, a variety of eggs with potatoes and gravy, jam, biscuits, coffee and juice, and a good time of Christian Brotherhood. Amen to that, Governor. You have the steel to stand up to those who would steal your freedom and squeal like pigs in the mud puddle if their rights were questioned. Have a great breakfast, Governor.
