FED-UP Editorial Reviews Review Campaign books are terrible....Any campaign book, that is, except Rick Perrys Fed Up.... This is not a boring book. More to the point, its not even a book about Rick Perry. Its a book about Rick Perrys ideas. And his big idea is that most everything the federal government does is unconstitutional..... Perrys book is... a serious argument about what kind of country we should be. I recommend it highly. (Washington Post Ezra Klein ) A new cowboy ... has entered the ring, toting his own political book....its big, bold, and, to borrow a word that was once associated with our current commander-in-chief, audacious. (Christian Science Monitor Husna Haq ) If hes good for Texas, why not America? Could Perry be the second coming of Ronald Reagan, the plain-spoken man from the West who presided over a new Morning in America by cutting taxes, reducing government (well, promising to), and standing tall against the nations enemies? As the tea-party movement gains momentum, as more Americans are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, Perry is their kind of hero, an avatar of a lost age that could come again, if only Washington politicians and other undesirables were put in their place. (Newsweek ) My friend Rick Perry knows that it is the American people who make this country great and not Washington. With appropriate respect for both our rich history and the practical needs of today, Rick sees a bright future for America, based on freedom and limited government. (Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana ) Rick Perry has hit the proverbial nail on the head in FED UP!, making a powerful case for a return to limited government and the restoration of the proper balance of power between Washington and the states. As Governor of Texas, he has seen firsthand the greatness of America and the prosperity we can enjoy when we empower people and get government out of the way. He explains in detail the historical, constitutional, and practical reasons why a government closest to the people protects liberty, and lays out the path to right the ship - citizen involvement and engagement to hold politicians accountable. No citizen should skip this book - your future depends on getting this right. (Rush Limbaugh ) In FED UP!, Governor Perry explains that we can and will save America by taking necessary steps to restore the proper balance of power between federal and state government. He understands what seemingly few other prominent politicians do-that Americas greatness stems from the people and our collective respect for the Constitution, not from the geniuses in Washington. (Mark Levin ) FED UP! lays out the truth of how far our Washington politicians have driven this nation off track. Its refreshing to read that at least one of our leaders understood what my dad always knew. The Government works for the people and not the other way around. (Michael Reagan ) About the Author Rick Perry has served as governor for 11 years-longer than any other in Texas history-and before being elected he served in the Texas legislature, as the Texas Agricultural Commissioner, and as lieutenant governor. Perry has been in the leadership of the Republican Governors Association for five years and is an Eagle Scout. After he graduated from Texas A&M, he became an Air Force pilot and attained the rank of captain. He is a candidate to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012.
