Is Gov. Perry's prayer meeting religion, politics or both?

In a blog post on July 7, 2011 written by Robert Pratt on the Empower Texans blog, the topic of Governor Rick Perry's religion and politics were discussed. The author is a host of a Texas radio station program.  Supposedly, it was reported in the Dallas Morning News that Rick Perry has invited all 49 governors to join him late in the summer to have a day of Christian prayer and fasting.  In this blog, the author presents the question, "Is Rick Perry's day of Christian prayer about religion or politics?"  He presents the argument that leaders should be encouraged to rise above politics to create unity through faith.  He also discusses the views of the liberal standpoint and how they believe that Perry is just demonstrating an act from a "political theater."  This topic has truly "sparked a lively debate" for many citizens.  Many people think his request is just a show or production to further his political goals.  Citizens are greatly confused and wonder what the governors true intentions are.  The author does make an argument that Rick Perry could in fact, simply be mixing religion and politics together.  He also argues that this mixture is what the nation was founded on.  Knowing this he professed, "For those of us who are Christians by grace and faith, our political and secular decisions should be informed by that faith."  Furthermore, he states that if religious citizens have a problem politically, they should join in on movements of faith.  Otherwise, doubts could be cast on beliefs and religion, shedding light on the hypocritical blasphemy.
