Is Rick Perry a Crook? The Evidence is Mounting…
Americans don’t demand much from elected officials. We just want them to be transparent and fair. What we don’t want are the kind of people who pass out appointments to top donors, take special measures to conceal their questionable financial activity, and use taxpayer money to help fund expensive vacations. But that’s the kind of guy Texans have in Republican Gov. Rick Perry – and it’s the type of President Americans will have if the current GOP frontrunner defeats President Obama at the polls.


1. Perry Spends Tax Dollars on Travels – But Seals Records from Taxpayer View

If you buy gasoline or have registered a vehicle in Texas, you are helping to pay for the cost of Rick Perry’s lavish trips.

Perry is using taxpayer money from the state highway fund to pay for his traveling security staff – which is, in itself, not usual. What does raise a red flag is this: Perry tucked a rider into a school finance bill last month to hide how much taxpayer money he’s spending until just after the 2012 Presidential election.
