George W. Bush: “The more freedom there is in the world, the more this world will be a peaceful world.”

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

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

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.

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