First it was Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott appealing to lawful gun owners in New York to consider a move to Texas--now--Governor Rick Perry has his own appeal to businesses in California.

"This is Texas Governor Rick Perry--and I have a message for California businesses--come check out Texas" the Governor said in an ad that's running in several California cities--including Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco. The Governor points to several reasons as to why he said California businesses might want to think about making a move.

"There are plenty of reasons Texas has been named the best state for doign business eight years running" the Governor said--taking a poke at California taxes and regulations.

"Building a business is tough--but I hear building a business in California is next to impossible" the Governor said, directing those business owners and executives to www.texaswideopenforbnusiness.com .
