George W. Bush: “Thanks for being a force for good.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.
