Republican Texan Rick Perry sez Texans would rather freeze for a few days than accept help from the government. Any Texans out there AGREE?

Than accept REGULATIONS from the federal government. 
"Texans would be without electricity for longer than three days to keep the federal government out of their business," Gov. Perry said. "Try not to let whatever the crisis of the day is take your eye off of having a resilient grid that keeps America safe personally, economically, and strategically."
