Rick Perry: Time to Get America Working Again - As reported Saturday on The Blaze, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is now officially in the 2012 presidential race. The governor also released his first campaign ad with this highly produced piece called “Rick Perry: Time To Get America Working Again.”
Wrap-Up From Waterloo: Perry Embraced, Bachmann Falls a Little Flat - Hot Air - Governor Rick Perry, Rep. Michele Bachmann, and former Senator Rick Santorum met in Waterloo, Iowa this evening to woo Blackhawk County Republicans and fight for national attention. The media wondered whether Iowans would forgive Perry for snubbing the Ames straw poll and whether Bachmann could build on her win yesterday in the event. And while some questions were answered, others will start arising from the performances. Perry made a good start with a friendly crowd.He used a mobile, dynamic style and emphasized the commonalities between the agricultural states of Texas and Iowa. Perry spoke of the difficult farming life and his formative years in small-town Texas, as well as spending a surprising amount of time talking about his military experience. At one point, he got a rousing cheer from the crowd when he pledged to make the presidency regain the respect of men and women in uniform. Perry also talked about jobs, and how his record shows that he can fix what’s ailing the nation. The crowd reacted with enthusiasm, interrupting Perry a number of times with applause and cheers.

Governor Rick Perry was part of the fifth generation to work the land at Paint Creek, some 200 miles west of Dallas on the flat expanse of plains known as “the Big Empty”. It was here that he was imbued with the country values of church, family, neighbourliness, thrift and hard work that now seem part of a bygone America beyond places like West Texas. “There were three things to do in Paint Creek: school, church, and Boy Scouts,” Mr Perry said last year, looking back on the late 1950s. “That’s it. And it was plenty.” Paint Creek was “one of the most beautiful places or it could be one of the most desolate” depending on the weather. As a child, he ventured, it was the home of “some of the most principled, disciplined people in the world, and faithful”. Read more........Article contributed by Steve Peters.

Welcome to Welborn Freedom Watch. The Opening picture of this Web Site was taken at the 'Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor' rally.

My goal with this site is to gather news articles, important information of interest, direct news feeds and links to other sites, all in one place to make all of this more accessible for your convenience.
