The ad was targeted at Christian, socially conservative voters. It raised controversy for addressing gay people in the military and religion in public schools, largely due to Perry's disapproval of the former.
The video went viral and inspired a number of parodies. During the primaries, it became one of the most disliked videos on YouTube.
Transcript
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian. But you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know that there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. As president, I'll end Obama's war on religion and I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage. Faith made America strong; it can make her strong again. I'm Rick Perry, and I approve this message.
— Rick Perry
