From Governor Perry’s Office.

March 21, 2010

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement on the passage of the federal health care bill:

“Unfortunately, the health care vote had more to do with expanding socialism on American soil than it does fixing our health care finance and delivery systems. The Obama health care bill undermines patient choice, personal responsibility, medical innovation and fiscal responsibility in America.

“As passed by the U.S. House, the bill will cost Texas taxpayers billions more, and drive our nation much deeper into debt. Congress’s backroom deals and parliamentary maneuvers undermined the public trust and increased cynicism in our political process.

“Texas leaders will continue to do everything in our power to fight this federal excess and find ways to protect our families, taxpayers and medical providers from this gross federal overreach.”

Via The Texas Tribune:

Attorney General Greg Abbott was already declaring war on the health care bill. He said he had just left a conference call with officials from more than a dozen states: “Just got off the AG conference call,” he wrote. “We agreed that a multi-state lawsuit would send the strongest signal. We plan to file the moment Obama signs the bill… It will lay out why the bill is unconstitutional and tramples individual and states’ rights.”

I think from now on I’ll refer to myself as a Texan American.
