to secede, is requesting federal aid.

Not saying the people there shouldn't get federal aid. You should get all the aid you need. Just goes to show the idiocy of Perry's and the other tea baggers' position.
And the catastrohpic consequences.

"Since the start of wildfire season, local and state crews have responded to more than 20,900 fires that have destroyed more than 1,000 homes and burned 3.6 million acres, the governor's office said."

"The fires also threatened historic structures in Bastrop State Park, many of which were constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and threatened the endangered Houston toad. Bastrop County's Lost Pines area is home to the largest known population of the small, reclusive amphibians."
