The official website for Rick Perry's August 6th, 2011 nationally controversial The Response prayer event has now disappeared from the Internet, but I had saved copies of many of the vanished web pages.

Here is the core material from three important The Response web pages: the leadership of The Rseponse, and the two pages of endorsers of the event, from Houston and nationally.

The Response "leadership page":

THE RESPONSE: a call to prayer for a nation in crisis

Originally from Paint Creek, Texas, the Governor and his wife Anita live in Austin, Texas.

I also saved copies of all this, just in case it disappeared ;-)

But I feel confident that every little speck of The Response was saved by diligent parties eager to preserve the record of this historic event.

Does anyone happen to have the actual URL of the website. If so, the site should be available on www.archive.org using their "Wayback Machine" (yes, Mr. Peabody's machine from "Rocky and Bullwinkle"...) which has most every website ever made archived - but you have to have the URL, or close to it. One wonders which name or names his campaign felt would be so damaging they went to the extreme step of trying to conceal the website. Anyone who knows much about the Internet knows this is simply impossible "in the cloud" - once you put it out there - it's out there. Now I would like to figure out this little mystery. The URL will make it a lot easier. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in mind, archive.org saves all the content but the glossy format won't look identical without a little work. Here's the archive.org URL from The Response website as it was on 20July2011. There are 4 more available instances of the page. This is the last one available - and should be the most complete since the page is only "re-crawled" if it changes. http://web.archive.org/web/20110720230840/http://theresponseusa.c om/

Unfortunately, the page with the falsified George Washington quote wasn't archived.

Hey Bruce - Yes, this was a disappointment, and likely one of the reasons for the attempted total wipe of the website. But too many eyes fell on those pages, and too many noted the remarks, to hide what was said. Thx!
