Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry arrives for a campaign stop at the Fainting Goat in Waverly, Iowa, Dec. 30, 2011. Republican presidential candidates are largely shifting from persuading voters to mobilizing them for Tuesday's caucuses.

"I'd like to see English made the official language of the government of this country," said a man who stood up during the question-and-answer portion of the event and expressed frustration with the fact that directions on store products are written in multiple languages.
"That is a statement that's not a question, and I can agree with it," Perry responded.
While Perry has sought to prove himself as a governor who is tough on immigration - a task made difficult by his support for a Texas law giving in-state tuition to the children of illegal immigrants that many conservatives disdain -- it is not a position he has brought up during his presidential bid. Other candidates, including Rep. Michele Bachmann and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have expressed support for the idea.
