George W. Bush: “This Nation is freedom's home.”

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

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.

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

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