George W. Bush: “I spend a lot of time worrying about the homeland security of the American people as well.”

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

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

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

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.
