George W. Bush: “By cutting that top rate from 39.6 to 33 percent, we encourage entrepreneurial growth in America.”

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

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

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

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