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.
Natural disasters recognize no state boundaries, and neither should FEMA, ... Texas is willing to work and do our part, but FEMA has to sit down and come up with a long-term, thoughtful plan.
When our work is done, parents won't measure our success by how much money we spend, but whether more children learn.
As Americans, we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility.
What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.
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 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!
Our best days are in front of us. We can reform those entitlements, we can change that corporate tax code and lower it. We can put America back on track on a growth level and a growth rate that we've never seen in the history of this country.
We have the power to make things new again. To project American strength again, to get our economy going again.
