George W. Bush: “We're up about 25 or 26 percent since 2001.”

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

That is the America I know.

This tax relief has been a key factor in promoting the economic growth and job creation of recent years, and it should be made permanent.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.
