George W. Bush: “It is in our Nation's security interests; it's in our national interest to stand with that young democracy in…”

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

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.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.
