Here is a link to several of the unholy wackos who have either given their official endorsements to the Houston prayer and fasting affair being promoted by Texas Governor Rick Perry or who are affiliated with organizations participating in this politico-religious event:

Upsidehead,
If you want more traction on such, don't cite silly websites. The website stated Rick Perry was a secessionist -- a patent lie. He stated that Texas might have the right to legally seceed, as she came into the nation, as a separate Republic herself.
Texas maintaine many perogatives when she joined, never going thru territorial status, including retention of all state land and the ability to subdivide into upto 5 states, if so desired.
Perry stated absolutely, that he was against secession.
It doesn't matter if he is for it or against it, as long as the Texas voters think that he is for it.
We should do a preemptive secession and sell Texas back to Mexico.
I'm all for dumping Texas. Nothing good comes from there.

You can't sell Texas back to Mexico, they didn't own it. Texas kicked their A S S. They are their own people. We are lucky to have them as a State and part of our Country.

You are dodging the main point I made, interventor. The list of wacky "endorsers" of the Perry prayer fest is highly verifiable, both from sources critical of the affair and from The Response's own web site. Backers of this thing include some really wild nutjobs, and that is probably the reason why the organizers re-configured their web site to make it difficult to find the list of "endorsers." That move was calculated so as to retain the names online--so as not to offend the endorsers--but to place their names where they are not readily located--so as to give them much-reduced exposure. John Hagee, C. Peter Wagner, Mick Bickle--do your own research and see what a bunch of off-center flywheels are endorsing this politico-religious conclave!
@ skippy delepepper - "You can't sell Texas back to Mexico, they didn't own it."
Ignorant much? we agree though - we can't sell it back, it should be given away it's absense would be it's own reward.
Mexican Texas is the name given by Texas history scholars to the period between 1821 and 1836, when Texas was governed by Mexico. To encourage settlement, Mexican authorities allowed organized immigration from the United States, and by 1834, over 30,000 Anglos lived in Texas,compared to only 7,800 Mexicans.
The Texian forces fought and won the Texas Revolution in 1835–36

Skippy may be a Socialist, but he is no historian. Nice try, but wrong again.
