Now, do not misunderstand me, America is great.

But we are fed up with being over-taxed and over-regulated. We are tired of being told how much salt to put on our food, what kind of cars we can drive, what kinds of guns we can own, what kind of prayers we are allowed to say and where we can say them, what we are allowed to do to elect political candidates, what kind of energy we can use, what doctor we can see. What kind of nation are we becoming? I fear it's the very kind the Colonists fought against.

But perhaps most of all, we are fed up because deep down we know how great America has always been, how many great things the people do in spite of their government, and how great the nation can be in the future if government will just get out of the way.

Our fight is clear. We must step up and retake the reins of our government from a Washington establishment that has abused our trust. We must empower states to fight for our beliefs, elect only leaders who are on our team, set out to remind our fellow Americans why liberty is guaranteed in the Constitution, and take concrete steps to take back our country. The American people have never sat idle when liberty's trumpet sounds the call to battle -- and today that battle is for the soul of America.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Campaign books are terrible....Any campaign book, that is, except Rick Perry's Fed Up.... This is not a boring book. More to the point, it's not even a book about Rick Perry. It's a book about Rick Perry's ideas. And his big idea is that most everything the federal government does is unconstitutional..... Perry's book is... a serious argument about what kind of country we should be. I recommend it highly."―Ezra Klein, Washington Post

"A new cowboy ... has entered the ring, toting his own political book....it's big, bold, and, to borrow a word that was once associated with our current commander-in-chief, audacious."

―Husna Haq, Christian Science Monitor

"If he's good for Texas, why not America? Could Perry be the second coming of Ronald Reagan, the plain-spoken man from the West who presided over a new 'Morning in America' by cutting taxes, reducing government (well, promising to), and standing tall against the nation's enemies? As the tea-party movement gains momentum, as more Americans are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, Perry is their kind of hero, an avatar of a lost age that could come again, if only Washington politicians and other undesirables were put in their place."

―Newsweek

"My friend Rick Perry knows that it is the American people who make this country great and not Washington. With appropriate respect for both our rich history and the practical needs of today, Rick sees a bright future for America, based on freedom and limited government."

―Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana

"Rick Perry has hit the proverbial nail on the head in FED UP!, making a powerful case for a return to limited government and the restoration of the proper balance of power between Washington and the states. As Governor of Texas, he has seen firsthand the greatness of America and the prosperity we can enjoy when we empower people and get government out of the way. He explains in detail the historical, constitutional, and practical reasons why a government closest to the people protects liberty, and lays out the path to right the ship - citizen involvement and engagement to hold politicians accountable. No citizen should skip this book - your future depends on getting this right."

―Rush Limbaugh

"In FED UP!, Governor Perry explains that we can and will save America by taking necessary steps to restore the proper balance of power between federal and state government. He understands what seemingly few other prominent politicians do-that America's greatness stems from the people and our collective respect for the Constitution, not from the 'geniuses' in Washington."

―Mark Levin

"FED UP! lays out the truth of how far our Washington politicians have driven this nation off track. It's refreshing to read that at least one of our leaders understood what my dad always knew. The Government works for the people and not the other way around."

―Michael Reagan

Why and how the Federal Government tramples on states rights with impunity

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Gov. Rick Perry gives a great history lesson here with regards to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. If you are concerned about what is happening to our Federal Government this is a great book to get a little background as to how things got so bad in Washington, D.C. Perry is a strong supporter of States Rights and if you want to hear the strongest argument for this then you probably cannot find a better reference.

Very Good election potential insight.....

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have been a fan of Gov. Perry for a long time and I like the state of Texas politics. A true believer of more State sovereignty and less Government interference in handling their affairs. I had seen and only cordially met the Governor when he and Governor Palin met in Houston for a political rally. He seemed very knowledgeable and a strong leader in state politics and I wanted to know more about him now that he has became one of the Presidential hopefuls. The book really filled in all the missing data that I wanted to know about him and what he has accomplished and his aspirations. Well worth the money and I recommend it to all.

The Best

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a book that every young adult should read. Reminds of how some entitlements came to be as well how the government overreaches. The constitution and especially the 10th amendment, Rick Perry's favorite I think, are mainly what this book is about. That's what we all really need to be reminded of.

Must Read For Genuine Conservatives

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I freely admit that Governor Perry is my kind of guy. With few exceptions, his values are shared by me and virtually all of my family. Texas is our home and we love its fierce spirit of independence and self-reliance. We don't WANT Washington to control our lives so it will come as no surprise that I enjoyed the Governor's book. But, the book is well-written and well-researched. Any truly open-minded person might find themselves nodding in agreement about many of the points the book makes about State's rights and the need to limit the power and reach of the central government.

The physical book was excellent. The words were disappointing. I lived in Texas for a long time and most of what Perry said is just talk and steam.

A truthful account of the problems.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book is an truthful account of the problems that an expanding Federal government (both in terms of taxation and spending and in terms of regulations) creates. It also shows that opposing a vastly bloated (and still expanding) government is not a matter of being "racist" or any of the rest of the nonsense that the "mainstream" media and the education system (both most school and most universities) come out with.

If the United States (and the West in general - for if America falls hope fades for the rest of the West) is to avoid economic and social breakdown, the expansion of the Federal government in terms of both regulations and spending (as much, if not more so, under Republicans such as George Walker Bush as under Democrats such as Bill Clinton) will have to be reversed - especially now the government has gone into insane overdrive under the Administration of President Barack Obama.

All complaining, but little ideas for solutions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

On one hand, Perry's (or whatever ghost writer's) book does indeed give a good account concerning (his opinion of) the oppressiveness of the central government into states' lives. However, it just moans on and on and on, but rarely gives viewpoints how to change things- what are *his* solutions. It therefore comes across akin to someone standing on a soap box, moaning about all that is wrong in the US, but providing virtually zero advice on how to change things (apart from the same old same old rhetoric of states must not allow this to happen etc). Romney's book No Apology, for example, states what he thinks is wrong, but gives clear policy outlines, running through that particular book) on how he (Romney) would try to change things.
Hence this book comes across as just a moan (albeit justified), but empty with no real solutions upon how to proceed.
Worth a read if you get hold of a copy, but very average overall.
