This is just the beginning of what will be many months. It will be a long effort trying to help people rebuild their lives and get a sense of normalcy, safety in what is a very trying time.
Every time a teacher walks through the classroom doors, young lives and the future of Texas changes for the better,
Texas is committed to doing everything it can to help our neighbors from Louisiana, but we want to make certain that we can provide them with the medical care, food, shelter, safety, education and other services they need to start getting their lives back together, ... Local officials are beginning to notify us that they are quickly approaching capacity in the number of evacuees they believe they can assist.
Coastal Texans should not wait until late Thursday or early Friday to leave. Homes and businesses can be rebuilt. Lives cannot.
We may dodge a bullet in Houston, Texas. But I'd rather sit in traffic for eight to 12 hours than take a chance it doesn't change any farther to the east. We're talking about people's lives here.
Homes and businesses can be rebuilt. Lives cannot. If you're on the coast between Beaumont and Corpus Christi, now's the time to leave,
We're going to pull together so that these families can find as much normalcy as we can. We're going to get through this together as one American family.
We're playing it by ear. We have a massive emergency in south Louisiana.
Our farmers, ranchers and cities will have 100 percent of the water they are entitled to, not just for the rest of this year, but for all of 2006, ... Now that the debt is paid, both countries must continue to work in good faith to meet the water demands of citizens on both sides of the Rio Grande for years to come.
Look, a Category 4, Category 5 storm is going to be catastrophic.
We have truly dodged a major bullet here,
Let's make what Americans buy. Buy what Americans make. And sell it to the world.
Our party cannot be all things to all people. It can't be. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's stop trying to curry favor with them.
We are a resilient country. We've been through a Civil War; we've been through two World Wars. We've been through a Great Depression; we even made it through Jimmy Carter! We will make it through the Obama years!
