According to Jake Gibson of Fox News’ Liveshots blog, Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) announced today that rocker and outspoken conservative Ted Nugent will perform the national anthem at a Perry campaign rally with Sarah Palin in Houston on Sunday.

“Not only is Ted one of our nation’s greatest performers, but his dedication to upholding our nation’s Second Amendment rights has been crucial to maintaining the freedom we are able to enjoy as Americans every day,” said Gov. Perry. “I look forward to Ted’s performance, and to the opportunity to join both him and Sarah Palin in sharing the success story Texas has achieved through our state’s unwavering commitment to conservative values based on the belief in limited government and individual freedom.”
