Again, the comments are more telling than the article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Those who responded talk about our air, lack of water resources, lack of health care, education, high property taxes and no protection from corporate greed. Though some agree more Californians should come on down –
Come on down, residents of liberal states. It may seem like a joke at first, but once enough folks come down and realize the back-peddling social mentality of the conservative right, why...there will be enough of you guys around to change things. So, yes....flock here. Come down in droves.

Some wonder whether the Texas leaders' moves will create a backlash against a state that's already the butt of occasional jokes on late-night talk shows.
"I have a message for California businesses: Come check out Texas," he said in the $24,000 radio ad buy, paid for by TexasOne, a public-private partnership that markets Texas throughout the world as a prime business destination.

The editorial said Perry's ad campaign is more of a "cry for help."
"Perry can't create jobs, he can only steal them from other states," according to the editorial
