George W. Bush: “You are also authorized and directed to notify the Congress, pursuant to section 2106(b)(2) of the Trade Act of 2002.”

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

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

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