George W. Bush: “I can't think of a more important cause than lending a gift of knowledge to a child.”

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

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

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

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