Problem:As an excited crowd awaits the entrance of Texas Gov. Rick Perry here, his campaign is distributing a press release with excerpts of his announcement speech: 
  
 "It is time to get America working again. That’s why, with the support of my family, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of America, I declare to you today my candidacy for President of the United States." 
  
 "It is time for Americans to believe again – to believe that the promise of our future is far greater than even the best days of our past. It is time to believe again in the potential of private enterprise, set free from the shackles of an overbearing federal government. And it is time to truly restore our standing in the world and renew our faith in freedom as the best hope of peace in a world beset with strife." 
  
 "One in six work-eligible Americans cannot find a full-time job. That is not a recovery, that is an economic disaster." 
  
 "Mr. President, you can’t win the future by selling it off to foreign creditors." 
  
 "In reality, this is just the most recent downgrade. The fact is for nearly three years, President Obama has been downgrading American jobs, downgrading our standing in the world, downgrading our financial stability, downgrading confidence, and downgrading the hope of a better future for our children." 
  
 "I will work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your lives as I can, and free our families, small businesses and states from a burdensome and costly federal government so they can create, innovate and succeed. With the help and courage of the American people, we will get our country working again." ||||| CHARLESTON, S.C. — Gov. Rick Perry of Texas announced Saturday that he was running for president, declaring it was “time to get America working again” as he sought to offer the Republican Party a candidate who appeals to both fiscal and social conservatives. 
  
 As many of his fellow candidates flooded Iowa over the weekend to woo voters at the Ames Straw Poll, Mr. Perry, 61, headed here to the RedState Gathering, an annual convention of conservative bloggers being held in South Carolina, another early primary state, to begin seeking his party’s nomination on a small-government, anti-Washington platform. 
  
 “I came to South Carolina because I will not sit back and accept the path that America is on, because a great country requires a better direction, because a renewed nation needs a new president,” he said. 
  
 “With the support of my family and unwavering belief in the goodness of America, I declare to you today as a candidate for president of the United States.” 
  
 And with that, Mr. Perry, whose intentions had been one of the biggest unanswered questions during the early stages of the Republican primary contest — he was even the topic of a question at Thursday night’s Republican debate in Iowa — made his candidacy official. 
  
 Mr. Perry, who promised “to give a pink slip to the current resident in the White House,” began by introducing himself to the crowd as a small-town boy from humble means. But he quickly offered a stirring assessment on the state of America, criticizing President Obama and predicting, in a Reaganesque flourish, that “it’s time to believe that the promise of our future is far greater than even our best days behind us.” 
  
 Mr. Perry’s entrance into an already crowded field is expected to reconfigure the dynamics of the race, offering Republicans a fiscal and social conservative who not only appeals to the party’s base but can also challenge Mitt Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts who is leading in many polls, on jobs and the economy. His passionate speech on Saturday offered a vivid contrast to Mr. Romney, who comes across as more measured and often struggles to rouse his crowds. 
  
 Mr. Perry traveled from South Carolina to New Hampshire for his first appearance as a candidate in that critical state. At an invitation-only event in the backyard of State Representative Pam Tucker’s Greenland, N.H., home, Mr. Perry spoke for 15 minutes and then took questions on topics including Libya, border security and nuclear energy. 
  
 His announcement reverberated 1,200 miles away in Iowa, where thousands of Republicans gathered to size up the party’s candidates, who delivered speeches and asked for support in the Ames Straw Poll. Though Mr. Perry’s name was not on the ballot, a group called Americans for Rick Perry urged people to list him as a write-in candidate, and he received 718 of the nearly 17,000 votes cast. 
  
 He is set to travel to Iowa on Sunday, where he intends to spend three days in the state introducing himself to voters who will open the nominating contest early next year. 
  
 Mr. Perry is the longest-serving governor of Texas, having been elected to three terms and having held the position for more than 10 years. He is known as a fierce and skilled campaigner, as well as a prodigious fund-raiser. In past campaigns, he has eked out victories and also come from behind to win by large margins. “He becomes immediately one of the top three candidates, and he fills a vacuum — of someone who is a conservative, who has credibility and can speak to the fiscal conservative, anti-big-government and anti-Washington crowd, but he’s also a social conservative,” said Matthew Dowd, a former strategist for President George W. Bush. 
  
 What Mr. Perry does in the coming weeks will be the real test of his candidacy, said Republicans who were waiting to see if he could withstand the scrutiny that comes with a presidential campaign. 
  
 “He either gets in and gets through the gantlet of the first month or so and consistently moves forward and wins the nomination, or he’s got this terrific flameout,” Mr. Dowd said. “There’s no middle ground.”
