Houston Chronicle: The Back to Basics political committee is hitting Gov. Rick Perry again in a new television commercial. Spokesman Cliff Walker would not say where the ad is running, but said it is a “six-figure” television buy.

Perry spokesman Mark Miner responds: With his failing campaign quickly running out of money, liberal trial lawyer Bill White has pulled his advertising from 22 television stations in seven different Texas markets: Abilene, Amarillo, Beaumont, Harlingen, Midland-Odessa, Shreveport, and Waco.

Bill White spokeswoman Katy Bacon said Perry’s campaign is wrong about the television buys. Bacon said White is on the air in all the markets mentioned in Miner’s release. “They’re making things up again,” Bacon said.

Titled “Rick Perry Thinks You’re a Sucker,” the ad juxtaposes Perry encouraging viewers to send a letter to Washington saying what they think about “all this stimulus, all this runaway spending” with a letter Perry sent President Barack Obama in February 2009 saying Texas would welcome Federal stimulus funds. Perry’s Feb. 18, 2009 letter, posted on the governor’s state website, certified that Texas would accept federal funds.

The Houston Chronicle Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News has previously published news articles stating Perry accepted more than billion in stimulus money to balance the state budget.

Perry has not welcomed all federal funds. Last year, Perry opposed about 0 million to fund the state’s unemployment trust benefits. The governor said businesses would have had to pay higher unemployment taxes after the federal dollars ran out. An effort by some legislators to overrule Perry died in the state House. And this year, Perry did not to apply for federal education funding in the competitive federal grant program known as Race to the Top.
