Texas Corridor.

Austin, Texas -- The Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) project championed by Gov. Rick Perry will bring about mass evictions of Texans from their homes, farms, and ranches, according to an online video released by a citizen group.

An official web site promoting the TTC project confirms plans for use of eminent domain to evict families from their homes in record numbers.

"This is the largest land-grab in Texas history. Perry plans to force Texas families from their homes, kicking and screaming, so a foreign company can profit for the next 50 years. And, the details of the land grab are still being withheld from the public, for more than a year." said Sal Costello, founder of People for Efficient Transportation PAC.

7. You should get a load of his latest idiotic commercial.

Perry does the "tough talk" about securing the border, then at the end gives the tough-Texas-cowboy look at the camera as if he's cracking down on illegal immigration.

What a CROCK. I'm growing to despise Texas politics.

5. Last summer's eminent domain decision paved the way for this

and for a FOREIGN company's profits. God bless globalism.
