Texas' Republican Rick Perry: Too Little Too Late !

Letter to the Editor - Fort Worth Star Telegram

Too late

I recently watched a Rick Perry campaign commercial. I found it very sad that he would dare to stand before cameras and declare that he promises to put more National Guard troops on the border five years after 9-11.

This is like shutting the barn door after the cows have gotten out. The influx of illegal immigrants would never have taken place had the governor done his job. It is clear to me that Perry is hoping (and perhaps praying) that people will overlook this fact.

May I be the first to tell Perry to finish this term in office with dignity and withdraw from the governor's race?
