Rick Perry King of Porn? Say it aint so!

Conservative Texas Governor Rick Perry’s Hypocritically Invested in Nation’s Largest Pornography Distributor.

Austin, TX—Via his campaign’s website, Governor Perry criticizes his
opponent—Carole Strayhorn—claiming she, “is sadly not above exploiting
child tragedies … What a despicable thing to do.” FN1. Despicable
indeed. Yet, as a private citizen, Perry has profited from his
investments in Movie Gallery, Inc—America’s largest pornography
distributor—a company that profits from exploitation and violence
against women. FN2.


When running for Lieutenant Governor, Rick Perry combined his publicly
traded stocks into a blind trust—Perry Blind Trust, Inc. FN3. Thus,
Perry’s subsequent Personal Financial Statements reveal little about his
stock holdings. FN4. However, Perry’s 1995 Personal Financial
Statement—the final revealing record of Perry’s assets—shows that he
invested in thirty-two stocks, including Movie Gallery, Inc. FN5.
While the precise amount of the investment is not revealed, Perry listed
the stock in category “B”—meaning that the stock was worth between five
and ten thousand dollars. FN6. Most of Perry’s stock fell into the
class “B” category. FN7

Based in Dothan, Alabama, Movie Gallery boasts being the second largest
North American home-entertainment specialty retailer after Blockbuster;
Movie Gallery has more than 4700 stores located in all fifty states,
Mexico, and Canada. FN8. Movie Gallery is also both the largest
distributor of pornography in America and the only major retail chain to
sell pornography in its flagship stores. FN9.
