although at one time wanted to eliminate the Dept. of Energy. I am sure the Texans are happy to see him leave but too bad he is now in our Fed Gov. # 7 is the biggy, making people go without health insurance, and

Nine Things We Won’t Miss About Rick Perry
By Josh Israel and Scott Keyes
1. He allowed Texas to become the nation’s worst polluter
2. He executed a likely innocent man and impeded an investigation into the matter
3. He actively sought to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid
4. He consistently backed legislation to restrict women’s reproductive rights
5. He demonized LGBT Texans and worked to increase legal discrimination against them
6. He backed nullification of federal laws and even raised the prospect of secession
7. He refused to let the federal government provide healthcare for low-income Texans, despite the highest rate of uninsured residents in the country.
8. He vetoed bipartisan Equal Pay legislation to protect Texas women.
9. He called for repeal of the 16th and 17th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, to end popular election of Senators and the federal income tax.
