George W. Bush: “Of course not. We're not leaving until we get the job done.”

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

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.
