- Rick Perry sanctuary city stance under attack – Reid J. Epstein, Politico
Perry supported the [sanctuary city] bill and even set it as an “emergency” item. But the governor but didn’t do enough to get legislators to pass it, said Katrina Pierson, a tea party caucus advisory board member from suburban Dallas who met with Perry in June to ask him to institute the regulations by executive order.
So the Texas Tea Party movement now stands for government by dictatorial executive edict? Let’s hope most Tea Partiers don’t feel that way, and instead will continue their good work trying to influence legislators who blocked this particular policy initiative.

The group might have been identified as the Steve Mostyn backed Pro-Dem/Anti-Perry group that it is, but Hoppe chose to deceive by omission.
