Governor Bush Welcomes You
To His Virtual Campaign Headquarters


George W. and Laura Welch Bush
George W. and Laura Welch Bush
Welcome to georgewbush.com - my virtual campaign headquarters. The most important question I can answer for you is why I am running for President of the United States.  I am running for President because our country must be prosperous.   But prosperity must have a purpose.

The purpose of prosperity is to make sure the American dream touches every willing heart.  The purpose of prosperity is to leave no one out - to leave no one behind. I'm running because my political party must match a conservative mind with a compassionate heart.  And I'm running to win.

We will be prosperous if we reduce taxes.  I'll have a plan that reduces marginal rates so we can continue to create high paying high quality jobs.  But a plan that also helps struggling families who live on the outskirts of poverty.

We will be prosperous if we reduce the regulations that strangle enterprise.  And I will do what I did in Texas - I will fight for meaningful, real tort reform.

We will be prosperous if we embrace free trade.  I will work to end tariffs and breakdown barriers everywhere - entirely - so that the whole world trades in freedom.   The fearful build walls.  The confident tear them down.  

And I am confident in the American workers, and farmers and entrepreneurs.  And I am confident that America's best is the best in the world.

And we must be prosperous.  We must be prosperous to keep the peace.  This still is a dangerous world.  A world of madmen, terror, and missiles.  And our nation is plagued by failing intelligence and aging weapons systems.  Because a dangerous world still requires a sharpened sword, I will rebuild the military power of the United States.

So America will be prosperous and strong if we do the right things.  But prosperity alone is simple materialism.  Prosperity must have a greater purpose.   The success of America has never been proven by cities of gold, but by citizens of character.  

This country is hungry for a new style of campaign.  A positive campaign.  A hopeful campaign.  An inclusive campaign.  

I'll wage a campaign that attracts new faces and new voices.  A campaign that unites all Americans toward a better tomorrow.  I've learned how to lead.  I know how to set a clear agenda and get results.

I've learned that you cannot lead by dividing people.  I'm a uniter - not a divider.  And I know that one of my most important responsibilities will be this:   When I put my hand on the Bible I will swear to not only uphold the laws of our country, I will swear to uphold the dignity and honor of the office to which I have been elected.

Thank you very much for your interest and thank you for visiting georgewbush.com.
