First Texas Governor Rick Perry put up a 30 second radio spot on California airwaves suggesting businesses in the no longer golden state relocate to Texas.
Now Perry has gone to California himself to make the same pitch.

“Straight-up competition between the states, the way our founding fathers envisioned it when they crafted that 10th Amendment.” And then SF Gate offers up a definition of the Tenth Amendment, for all those Californians unfamiliar with that quaint and curious document known as “The Constitution of the United States of America.”
