because he wants to exclude his state’s Planned Parenthood, which performs no — seriously, not one — abortions,

Um, that would be news to Planned Parenthood.

Why would you think this author has any credibility after being so spectacularly wrong on a simple fact like that?

The largest component of state government income comes from the federal government for funding of programs in education, healthcare and transportation, to name a few. Just less than one-third of all Texas state revenue comes from the federal government. This federally-sourced revenue can take the form of outright grants or matching funds.

...

Texas received $32.9 billion in federal funds during fiscal 2012, 14.3 percent less than in fiscal 2011. Federal funds accounted for 34.8 percent of Texas’ total net revenue, making them the state’s second largest revenue source in fiscal 2012.

It should be noted that much federal revenue comes in the form of matching funds. To receive these, the state must spend its own funds first. Moreover, some federal funds are received by the state but passed through to other entities administering federal programs.

Health and Human Services programs received the largest share of federal revenue in fiscal 2012, at $21.5 billion for medical aid and public assistance programs. These programs experienced a 13.1 percent decline in federal funds from fiscal 2011, netting $3.2 billion less than in the previous year.

The Texas educational system received $5.9 billion in federal revenue in fiscal 2012, almost all of it unmatched revenue.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) received $2.9 billion in federal money in fiscal 2012, all of it requiring matching funds

What we see here is the development of a meme.

The national memo author also goes on to brag about Silicon Valley in California as if businesses aren't fleeing the state.

Note:

KCRA 3 has learned of nearly two dozen firms now planning to say goodbye to some of the highest taxes in the nation.

It’s all part of a campaign launched by one of California’s neighboring states, the day after Proposition 30 passed, which triggered billions of dollars in new taxes.

And now, a growing number of Californians are saying, “Arizona, here we come.”

California chief executives have been arriving since January at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport, eager to relocate their companies and bring thousands of new jobs to Arizona.

Upon arrival, those CEOs will meet with an entourage of Arizona mayors and other leaders eager to proclaim, “Now arriving, California.”

“Come to Arizona,” said Dr. Ann Hart, president of the University of Arizona. “It’s a better place to do business.”

Arizona is more than just a desert. It’s an oasis for Californians fed up with the highest personal-income tax rates and the highest sales-tax rates in the country.

California is also the worst state in the nation to do business, for eight years in a row, according to Chief Executive magazine.

After beclowing himself asserting that Planned Parenthood doesn't do any abortions (PP does abortions, says the do abortions, and lists the numbers of abortions they do in their annual reports), the National memo author also asserts California has a budget surplus.

Um, no, no they don't. See, the Gov asserted the CA budget is projected to be in surplus. It won't be, and so people who go about weirdly asserting PP doesn't do abortions probably shouldn't be talking about economics.

Note:

The 2012–13 budget assumed a year–end reserve of $948 million. Our forecast now projects the General Fund ending 2012–13 with a $943 million deficit, due to the net impact of (1) $625 million of lower revenues in 2011–12 and 2012–13 combined, (2) $2.7 billion in higher expenditures (including $1.8 billion in lower–than–budgeted savings related to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies), and (3) an assumed $1.4 billion positive adjustment in the 2010–11 ending budgetary fund balance. We also expect that the state faces a $936 million operating deficit under current policies in 2013–14. These estimates mean that the new Legislature and the Governor will need to address a $1.9 billion budget problem in order to pass a balanced budget by June 2013 for the next fiscal year

Birds: Remember earlier this year when all those birds started dying en masse and people freaked out? Government investigators concluded there was nothing particularly nefarious about the deaths, but Cindy Jacobs, a minister who's listed as an official endorser of The Response, knew better. As she explained it, the bird deaths were God's punishment for the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. "[T]he blackbirds fell to the ground in Beebe, Arkansas. Well, the Governor of Arkansas' name is Beebe. And also, there was something put out of Arkansas called 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' by a former Governor, this was proposed—Bill Clinton." 

Blouses: Feeling down? Can't sleep? Smell something strange in you shirt? Maybe your shirt is cursed. That's the idea floated by Alice Smith, a proponent of "spiritual housecleaning" and an official endorser for the event. As she explained, if you've been in an illicit relationship, "it could be that that spiritual umbilical cord has come down in your lap as a result of that unholy alliance."

Democrats: Alice Patterson is the Texas state coordinator for The Response. And while The Response is explicitly a nonpartisan event, that hasn't kept Patterson from arguing that the Democratic Party is "an invisible network of evil." Hey, that could mean anything! ViaRight Wing Watch:

One strong fallen angel cannot wreak havoc on an entire nation by himself. He needs a network of wicked forces to restrain the Church and to deceive the masses. Unlike the Holy Spirit, who is everywhere at once and can speak to millions of people simultaneously, the devil can only be in one place at a time. By himself Satan would be totally ineffective, but in cooperation with other powers of darkness he erects structures to deceive and manipulate entire nations.

happy people: "They're intolerant, they're hateful, they're vile, they're spiteful," Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said of happy rights activists in April. "They're not the enemy. The enemy is simply using them as pawns. They are held captive by the enemy." Perkins, whose FRC was recently labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for its anti-happy rhetoric, has been named as a co-chair of The Response and will speak at the event. Bryan Fischer, the American Family Association's issues director, has taken things even further:

So Hitler himself was an active guy. And some people wonder, didn't the Germans, didn't the Nazis, persecute homosexuals? And it is true they did; they persecuted effeminate homosexuals. But Hitler recruited around him homosexuals to make up his Stormtroopers, they were his enforcers, they were his thugs. And Hitler discovered that he could not get straight soldiers to be savage and brutal and vicious enough to carry out his orders, but that guy soldiers basically had no limits and the savagery and brutality they were willing to inflict on whomever Hitler sent them after. So he surrounded himself, virtually all of the Stormtroopers, the Brownshirts, were male homosexuals.

All of which is false.

Glee: The AFA, which is co-sponsoring the event, recently launched a boycott of the popular Fox television program because it is "glamorizing guy behavior."

Grizzly bears and killer whales: Fischer, whose organization is footing the bill for the event, can't stand either species. When a whale at Sea World killed its trainer in 2010, Fischer called for the beast to be ritually stoned to death because (quoting Exodus) "[w]hen an ox gores a man or woman to death the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten." And after a string of maulings in the mountain west last summer, Fischer called the grizzly "a fierce, savage unstoppable killing machine" that should be shot on sight.

Hurricane Katrina: Among the attendees? None other than the Rev. John Hagee, the Christian Zionist megachurch pastor from San Antonio whom Sen. John McCain was forced to repudiate in 2008. Hagee is most known for his support for Israel, but he has also weighed in on domestic issues. In 2005, he stated that Hurricane Katrina was God's way of getting back at the city for embracing the happy community. The city, he noted, "had a level of sin that was offensive to God." He later clarified that he did not mean to so clearly imply a cause and effect.

The Illuminati: John Benefiel is an Oklahoma City-based pastor and the head of the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network. His endorsement is touted by The Response. As Brian Tashmannotes, Benefiel also believes that a secret cabal of global elites are planning to use homosexuality to reduce the global population to about 500 million people:

By the way, homosexuality is a great way to control the population. Do you understand? I'm serious about this and I've seen this in lots of places, that the entity that we call the Illuminati which is really over, above Free Masonry, has stated it as their goal…to limit the world population to no more than 500 million. Do you realize that means getting rid of all of us?

Microchips: Intercessors for America, an official endorser of The Response, believes that federal government is developing technology to implant microchips in all citizens as a form of mind control.

LOL who needs micro chips... seems like they got mind control down pat.. 

So what exactly do Perry's allies believes? Here's a quick primer:
