George W. Bush: “I urge all Americans to contribute as they are able.”

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

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

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

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