Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Challenger Bill White Have a Hair-off with Cow Wow

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- While Texas gubernatorial candidates Rick Perry and Bill White sling mud at each other, a Texas company, Cow Wow, has united the two politicians -- mounting them on the back of a 16-foot trailer for a Texas-style tour.  Cow Wow, a liquid compost product, is launching a "Moovement," the "Heads of State," featuring six-foot terra cotta busts of Perry and White, with hair of ivy.  The public is invited to text or vote online for the candidate with the better "hair."

The Moovement's tour launch, which includes an appearance from former gubernatorial candidate and musician, Kinky Friedman, is at noon Monday, September 20, in Austin at 1603 South Congress.  Kinky will use large hedge clippers to give the candidates an inaugural trim. People are to visit www.votecowwow.com to vote for the best head or text votes to: Like Rick's hair? Text RICK to 512-523-5817 or Like Bill's hair?  Text BILL to 512-943-6167. The results will be updated regularly before the November election.

The hair has been treated with Cow Wow, a product that reuses the waste product from dairy farms, saving water and landfill space and creating an all-natural compost that feeds soil and encourages plant growth.   

After the launch, the campaign will tour Central Texas.  At each appearance, visitors can witness the heads up-close, take photos, and learn about Cow Wow's all natural liquid compost products. Tour stops can be found on the website.

"Our gubernatorial race is serious business," said Leslie Hearne, President of Cow Wow.  "But we do our business a bit less seriously.  We decided to lighten things up for Texans by sending our Poo Crew on the road with our look-alike heads to let the people cast an equally important vote -- who has the best crop of plant hair."

The campaign and tour was created by Door Number 3 (www.dn3austin.com).
