More info on Gov. Perry:


PRO:


Before Perry became Governor, it was illegal to have a firearm on your employer's property unless it was directly related to your work there. You couldn't even have one locked in your car in the parking lot. Perry signed a bill repealing the part about having one locked in your car, and now that is legal in Texas. Perry has been generally very supportive of gun rights.


CONS:


In 2001, Perry signed HB1403, which (if I'm reading it right) grants in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens IF they have applied to the Fed Govt for legal status. Even if the application was ten years ago and was refused, apparently they can still get those in-state rates.


Text of that bill can be found here, it's a couple pages long:
