SPEECHES
FROM THE 2004 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
George W. Bush
Campaign Remarks
in Pennsylvania
September 9, 2004 • Colmar, PA
Thank you all for coming. Thank you all
very much. (Applause.) Please be seated. Thank you all
for coming. Thanks for the welcome. It's good to be back
in Pennsylvania. (Applause.) Again. It just seems like
I was here yesterday. (Laughter.) I was. (Laughter.) Kind
of. But I'm glad to be here. I really appreciate you coming
out. Spirits are high. I'm feeling great about life. (Applause.)
I really appreciate being here at Byers Choice. (Applause.)
Thank you all for your hospitality. You sure know how to
make a President feel welcome. (Applause.) We're here because
I want to talk about the economy some, and a plan to keep
this economy moving forward so people can realize their
dreams. And it's such a wonderful place to come because
the entrepreneurial spirit here is strong.
This is a company that was formed by Bob and Joyce Byers
-- (audience interruption) --
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more
years!
THE PRESIDENT: We are here -- I appreciate you coming
to Byers. (Laughter and applause.) It's such an honor to
meet Bob and Joyce Byers. They are -- they had a dream
and they wanted to build a small company into a large company,
and they've done so. They started their company in the
1960s. They found a good idea -- they thought of the idea.
Government didn't think of the idea, they did. (Applause.)
They decided to take risk. They hired people wisely, they
invested wisely, and their company is growing. And I appreciate
the contribution they made. (Applause.)
They've got a fantastic customer base, because they --
(audience interruption.)
AUDIENCE: Booo! Four more years! Four more years! Four
more years! (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: We are here because the entrepreneurial
spirit is strong, because there is an optimism in this
room that says it can remain stronger. (Applause.) The
Byers have got a significant customer base, which means
they understand how to run a business. And my mother is
one of their customers. (Laughter and applause.)
And so what we're going to talk about today is our economy,
and how to keep it growing, and how to make sure the entrepreneurial
spirit is strong so people can realize their dreams. Today
I want to discuss with you the plan I have to keep us on
the path to growth and opportunity, a plan that I'm convinced
that when Americans listen to, they'll put me and Dick
Cheney back in office for four more years. (Applause.)
So I told Laura I was coming here, and she said, "Give
everybody my best." (Applause.) She's great. She's
a fantastic mom and a great wife. She is a wonderful First
Lady. (Applause.) So when I asked her to marry me, she
said, "Fine, just so long as I don't have to give
any political speeches." (Laughter.) I said, okay,
you won't have to give a speech. Fortunately, she didn't
hold me to that promise. She gave a great speech the other
night. (Applause.) People got to see her heart and her
compassion.
I appreciate Congressman Jim Greenwood a lot. I must confess
to you that when I heard he was retiring, I got a little
mad at him, because I've enjoyed working with him. He is
a good, decent, honorable man. And I appreciate you. (Applause.)
I appreciate the fact that Arlen Specter is with us today.
I hope you put him back into office for six more years.
(Applause.) There he is. I enjoy working with Arlen. He's
a good, independent thinker, and he's a good -- fine United
States senator. And we'll work well together during the
next four years.
I want to thank Pat Toomey for joining us today, as well.
He's a class act. (Applause.) I appreciate -- I told this
to Pat on Air Force One, I said, I appreciate the way he
handled himself after a tough primary. He's coming together,
he's working for the ticket, and that shows what kind of
guy he is. And I'm honored you're here, Pat. (Applause.)
Where is Mayor Joe? Mr. Mayor. Thank you for coming, Mr.
Mayor. I'm proud you're here. (Applause.) Yeah! I always
like to stay in touch with the local power. (Laughter.)
Sure enough, there he is. Thanks for coming, Mayor. I appreciate
you being here.
Mike Fitzpatrick is with us today. I appreciate you coming,
Mike. (Applause.) Appreciate you being here. Tom Corbett
is with us today. Appreciate you coming, Tom. Good luck.
(Applause.) I want to thank all the candidates who are
here, and the grassroots activists. I'm traveling your
state and traveling the country to ask people not only
for the vote, but for the help. And I hope you go register
voters, find people to show up to the polls. We have a
duty in America to vote and -- (applause.) So thanks for
the work you're doing. And when you get them to the polls,
headed to the polls, remind them, if they want a safer
America, a stronger America, and a better America, to put
me and Dick Cheney back in there. (Applause.)
Eunice Sanchez is with us -- where are you, Eunice? There
she is. Thanks. And you've got your son and daughter --
thanks for coming. I met Eunice. She works for the Amachi
mentoring program in Philadelphia. I don't know if you've
heard of Amachi. I have been fortunate enough to be briefed
by the people that run that program. Amachi is a mentoring
program for children with incarcerated parents. I want
you to think about what this good American citizen does.
She takes time out of her life to mentor a child to show
there's love, the possibility of love. I tell the people
of this country that the great strength of our country
is the hearts and souls of the American citizens. That's
really the true strength of America. And the reason I've
asked -- (applause.) And the reason that Eunice has kindly
come today is for me to hold her up as an example for others
-- for others to recognize that they can help change America,
one heart and one soul at a time, as well; that our society
is a compassionate society because people from all walks
of life put their arm around somebody who hurts and says,
I love you, and what can I do to help you. (Applause.)
I appreciate you coming, Eunice. God bless you, and thanks
for coming. (Applause.)
I'm looking forward to this -- I'm looking forward to
the campaign. I'm -- there's some things I want to do for
the next four years. (Laughter.) And I'm looking forward
to telling the people of the country where I stand and
where I believe and where I'm going to lead the country.
I'm running with a clear and positive plan to build a safer
world and a more hopeful America. (Applause.) I'm running
with what I call a compassionate conservative philosophy,
that government should help people improve their lives,
not try to run their lives. (Applause.)
I believe it's the job of a President to confront problems,
not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations.
(Applause.) In the last four years we have confronted economic
problems. We have got some short-term challenges that came
from an economic downturn and a national emergency. We've
got some long-term challenges because our economy is changing.
In all these areas, we've acted, and we're moving forward.
Today I want to talk to you about some of the plans we
have.
Remember the history. When you're out rounding up the
vote, remind the people what we have been through. When
Dick Cheney and I took office in January -- on January
20th of 2001, our economy was heading into a recession,
and the stock market had been declining for five months
prior to our arrival. Our nation faced some corporate scandals
that cost people jobs and savings and shook our confidence.
Today, it is absolutely clear that we're not going to tolerate
dishonesty in the board rooms of America. (Applause.)
America was attacked. Our economy lost nearly a million
jobs after that attack in just three months. We acted with
a clear strategy. We unleashed the energy and innovative
spirit of America with the largest tax relief in a generation.
(Applause.) The tax relief provided small business owners
the resources and incentives they need to expand and grow
and hire more workers. The entrepreneurial spirit is strong,
the small business sector of our economy is strong, and
the tax relief helped strengthen it. (Applause.)
We encouraged savings and investment by cutting taxes
on dividends and capital gains. (Applause.) Tax relief
put money in the hands of American workers, so they could
save for their retirement or for their home, or for the
education of their children. My philosophy is, government
sets priorities, funds its priorities, and lets the people
keep as much money as possible. I think you can spend your
money better than the federal government can. (Applause.)
We increased the child credit and reduced the marriage
penalty. The tax code ought to encourage marriage, not
discourage marriage. (Applause.) And the results are clear.
Our country has now seen 12 straight months of job gains.
Over the past year, we've added 1.7 million jobs. That
is more than Germany, Japan, Great Britain, Canada and
France combined. (Applause.) Unemployment is down to 5.4
percent. That is nearly a full point below the rate in
the summer of 2003, and it is below the average of the
1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s. (Applause.)
Interest rates and mortgage rates are near historic lows.
Our economy is growing at rates as fast as any in the last
20 years. The manufacturing sector is improving. When I
took office, manufacturing employment had been declining
for almost three years. In the last six months of the prior
administration, more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs were
lost. We're turning that around. (Applause.) Since January,
America has added 107,000 manufacturing jobs, including
22,000 last month alone. We are making steady progress
for American workers. (Applause.)
Because of tax relief, the middle class is paying less
in federal taxes. The average family of four with an income
of $40,000 got nearly a $2,000 tax cut. (Applause.) Real
after-tax incomes are up almost 10 percent since December
of 2000. (Applause.) People have got more money in their
pockets because of the tax relief. (Applause.) Our economy
is stronger because people are keeping more of what they
earn. (Applause.)
Listen, we also face long-term challenges in this economy.
The workers of our parents' generation typically had one
job, one skill, one career, often with one company that
provided health care and a pension. That's the way it used
to be. This world of ours is changing. By the way, most
of those workers were men. Today, workers change jobs,
even careers, many times during their lives. And in one
of the most dramatic shifts our society has seen, two-thirds
of all moms also work outside the home. This world of ours
has changed. And yet, the institutions of government haven't
changed.
Let me tell you what else has changed. Productivity has
grown faster over the last three years than any time in
more than 40 years -- in part because technology is changing
the way we do things. You'd rather use a computer than
a typewriter. You'd rather use a backhoe than a shovel.
(Laughter.) That's productivity. But it also means that
the same work can be done by fewer workers. And that creates
a problem for someone looking for a job. That's why manufacturing
still produces roughly the same share of our GDP, but with
a smaller share of the work force. So these are some long-term
challenges we face.
But it's a time of great opportunity. A time of change
creates great opportunity -- so long as the government
takes the side of the workers and the families here in
America; so long as government -- (applause) -- so long
as government recognizes this: our fundamental systems
-- the tax code, health coverage, pension plans, and worker
training -- were created for the world of yesterday --
think about that -- not for tomorrow. I believe in the
next four years, we've got to transform these systems to
help our citizens, to help prepare our citizens, to help
free citizens so they can realize the great dream of our
country.
And so you'll hear me talk a lot about changing systems
to help people -- not increasing government to stifle dreams.
(Applause.) Obviously -- obviously, in order for people
to realize their dreams, there has to be robust economic
growth. In order to make sure that the productivity increases
don't cause people not to be able to find a job, we got
to grow this economy. And that's what I want to talk to
you about right quick, a plan to make sure we continue
to create jobs here in America.
First of all, in order to have jobs here, America must
be the best place in the world to do business. (Applause.)
If you want people working here, it's got to be the best
-- the best place to risk capital, the best place to expand,
the best place to realize dreams. One way to make sure
it's the best place to do business is to reduce the regulatory
burden on small businesses. (Applause.) You fill out a
lot of paperwork if you're a small business owner in America.
I can't promise you anybody in government ever reads it.
(Laughter.)
We want jobs here in the Philadelphia area. We want to
make sure the manufacturing sector is robust. Congress
needs to get an energy plan to my desk now. I submitted
a plan two years ago. It's a plan that encourages conservation,
expands renewables, uses clean coal technologies. Listen,
we must become less dependent on foreign sources of energy
if we want jobs to remain in America. (Applause.)
In order to keep jobs here, so people can realize their
dreams, we must open up markets for U.S. products. Listen,
we've opened up our markets. And it's good for consumers
we've opened up our markets. If you have more choices in
the marketplace, you're likely to get the product you want
at a better price and better quality. And so what I'm saying
to countries like China is, treat us the way we treat you.
I believe American farmers and manufacturers and business
owners can compete with anybody, anywhere, anytime -- so
long as the rules are fair. (Applause.) What we will do
is reject economic isolationism. Economic isolationism
will hurt America's workers.
In order to make sure we create jobs here, we've got to
do something about these junk lawsuits that threaten employers.
(Applause.) I believe strongly in legal reform, because
I understand personal injury lawyers should not get richer
at the expense of hardworking Americans and American entrepreneurs.
(Applause.)
Finally, in order to keep jobs here, we've got to be wise
about how we spend your money and keep your taxes low.
Running up the taxes on the entrepreneurs in America is
bad economic policy. (Applause.) I told you there's some
systems that need to change. One system that needs to change
is the federal tax code. (Applause.) It is too cumbersome.
I tried to hold it the other day -- (laughter) -- when
I was campaigning in Missouri. I'm in pretty good shape.
It was hard to hold it. (Laughter.) It's got a million
words in it. It takes the American people six billion hours
a year, every year, to file these forms. It is full of
special interest loopholes. For the sake of economic growth
and for the sake of fairness, we need to change the tax
code. We need to make it simple and easy to understand.
(Applause.)
A changing world means that the skills necessary to fill
the jobs of the 21st century are changing, and it's something
we've got to recognize. And a changing economy is one that
creates new opportunities. But sometimes there's a skills
gap. And that's why I believe we ought to expand access
to our community college systems, to make sure that the
workers have the skills necessary to fill the jobs of the
21st century.
As well, most new jobs in a changing -- this changing
world, require two years of college. Yet only one in four
of our students gets there. And so we need early intervention
programs in our high schools to solve problems early, before
they're too late. We need to have new focus on math and
science. As the No Child Left Behind Act begins to fill
the education pipeline with good readers, we will require
a rigorous exam before graduation from high school. See,
what I'm telling you is, by raising performance in high
schools and expanding Pell grants for low- and middle-income
families, we will help more Americans start their career
with a college diploma. (Applause.)
These are changing times, and our economy is changing.
And there are communities around where manufacturing, textiles
and other jobs no longer exist. There are poor communities
in our country that need help, as well. And that's why,
the other night at the convention, I announced American
opportunity zones. These zones will provide tax relief
and other incentives for new businesses to be created,
and to improve housing and job training and bringing hope.
In other words, in changing times, there are ways to help
communities that have suffered during changing times, with
good tax policy, good regulation policy and good housing
policy. (Applause.)
Listen, in order to make sure jobs stay here, we've got
to do something about health care. We need to make sure
health care is available and affordable. Do you realize
more than half the uninsured are employees of small businesses?
Small businesses are having trouble affording health care.
One way to help small businesses afford health care is
to allow small firms to join together to purchase insurance
at the discounts available to big companies. (Applause.)
We will offer tax credits to encourage small businesses
and their employees to set up health savings accounts.
We'll provide direct help for low-income Americans to purchase
health savings accounts. These accounts give workers the
security of insurance against major illness, the opportunity
to save tax-free for routine health expenses, and the freedom
of knowing you can take your account with you whenever
you change jobs or careers. (Applause.) I'm a big believer
in community and rural health centers. These are facilities
where low-income Americans can get primary care. I believe
every poor country in America ought to have one of these
facilities in order to take the pressure off emergency
rooms around the United States. (Applause.)
In order to make sure health care is available and affordable,
we've got to do something about the frivolous lawsuits
that are running good doctors out of practice and running
up your health care costs. (Applause.) I appreciate working
with Jim Greenwood on this issue. He figured it out, and
I hope the people of this country figure it out. These
frivolous lawsuits are making it awfully hard for a lot
of docs to practice medicine. You're losing good docs.
Greenwood was telling me about the doctor that saved his
dad's life had to leave practice because his premiums were
too high. Many doctors, in order to avoid litigation, practice
defensive medicine. In other words, they run up the costs
of health care so if the ever get caught -- pulled in front
of a court of law, they've got a defense. It's costing
the taxpayers about $28 billion a year, the defensive practice
of medicine costs $28 billion a year. We have a national
problem, and it requires a national solution. (Applause.)
I've submitted legislation that Greenwood got passed in
the House. It's stuck in the Senate because the trial lawyers
are powerful in the United States Senate.
AUDIENCE: Booo!
THE PRESIDENT: See, I don't think -- I don't think you
can be pro-doctor, pro-patient, and pro-trial lawyer at
the same time. I think you have to choose. My opponent
made his choice, and he put him on the ticket. (Applause.)
I made my choice -- I made my choice: I am for medical
liability reform -- now. (Applause.)
I'm looking forward to the debate on health care. I'm
looking forward to it. In all we do to improve health care
in America, we'll make sure that health decisions are made
by doctors and patients, not by bureaucrats in Washington,
D.C. (Applause.)
Our labor laws need to change. We got a lot of moms who
are now in the workplace. And yet, it's really hard for
moms to find enough time to do their duty as moms, see,
because the rules -- the labor laws are stuck in the past.
I think we need to have flex-time and comp-time to allow
families to be able to have more quality time. (Applause.)
In a changing world, ownership can bring stability to
your life. One of the most hopeful statistics of the last
year or two has been that the home ownership rate is at
an all-time high in America. There's more minority families
who are opening up the door where they live, and say, welcome
to my home; come in to my house. (Applause.) It's a really
important part of a future, when more and more people can
own their home. We've got a plan to encourage home ownership
in this country.
And we've got to make sure that our pension systems work,
the Social Security system works. If you're an older American,
nothing will change -- the Social Security trust will fulfill
its promise to you. If you're a baby boomer, we're in pretty
good shape when it comes to receiving the promise of Social
Security. But we need to worry about our children and grandchildren
when it comes to Social Security. I believe younger workers
ought to be able to take some of their taxes and set up
a personal savings account, to make sure the Social Security
promise that's made to them -- (applause) -- an account
that they can call their own, an account that government
cannot take away, and an account that they can pass on
from one generation to the next. (Applause.)
In these proposals, we seek not to provide a government
program, but a greater path to opportunity, and more freedom
for you to decide what's best for your life, and therefore,
I believe, more opportunity for every citizen. And we got
a choice in this race. I mean, it's a clear choice. See,
I believe our opponent's philosophy is very different from
ours. If you carefully listen, he wants to expand government.
Listen to the proposals. That's what he wants to do. What
we want to do is expand opportunity. He wants to give more
power to Washington by raising taxes and spending more
money. And he's got a record to match his promises. (Laughter.)
Over two decades in Washington, he has voted for higher
income taxes, higher taxes on Social Security benefits.
That's part of his record. He repeatedly voted for higher
taxes on small businesses, higher taxes on gasoline. He
voted against tax relief for married couples, for increasing
the child credit, and against expanding tax-free retirement
savings. We have a difference of opinion when it comes
to taxation. If you drive a car, Senator Kerry has voted
for higher taxes on you. If you have a job, he's voted
for higher taxes on you. If you're married, or have children,
he's voted for higher taxes on you. The good news is, on
the 2nd of November, you have a chance to vote. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more
years!
THE PRESIDENT: There is a reason for supporting higher
taxes -- because he wants to dramatically increase government
spending. It's part of his platform. On the campaign trail,
he's proposed more than $2 trillion in new federal spending,
so far. (Laughter.) And we still have 54 more days to go.
Now, he says he's going to pay for all that by raising
taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of the population. There's
just one problem with that. My opponent's tax increases
would bring only about $650 billion in revenue over the
next 10 years, see. And he wants to spend over $2 trillion.
So you do the math. (Laughter.) The plan leaves him more
than $1.4 trillion short. And guess who would wind up paying
the bill?
Now, one of his key economic advisors -- one of my opponent's
key economic advisors is saying they won't give the details
on how they would raise spending and lower the deficit
until after the election. (Laughter.) Well, if they want
to hold back information until the people vote, you can
bet it won't be good news for the taxpayers. But America
will reject the hidden Kerry tax plan. (Applause.)
Raising taxes will be bad for our economy. Raising taxes
will be bad for the small business sector of America. And
I'll tell you why -- 90 percent of small business owners
pay tax at the individual income tax level. Ninety percent
of small business owners are sub-chapter S corporations
or sole proprietorship. Byers Choice is a sub-chapter S
corporation. Now, if you're organized as a sub-chapter
S or sole proprietorship, when you pay your tax, you fill
out the individual income tax forms. And so when you talk
about raising the top two brackets in the individual taxes,
you're talking about taxing companies like Byers Choice.
I don't see -- and by the way, 70 percent of new jobs in
America are created by small businesses. Why does it make
sense to tax the job creators? It doesn't make sense to
tax the job creators. (Applause.)
Bob said this -- he said, "that would hurt my company." When
he heard the plan to raise taxes to pay for promises, political
promises, he said, "That would hurt my company. It
would cut off jobs I plan to create." My opponent,
by making political promises and by promising to tax small
businesses such as Byers Choice, would hurt our economy.
I believe in order to continue economic growth, we need
an energy plan, good trade policy, good regulatory policy,
good legal policy, good health policy, and we need to make
the tax relief permanent. (Applause.)
In order to make sure we have sustained economic growth,
we will also continue to protect the homeland over the
next four years. (Applause.) A lot of good people working
hard on your behalf. And we reorganized the department
-- departments to create the Department of Homeland Security
so we can better talk to each other, better respond to
crisis, better deal with emergency, better share intelligence.
And we're getting better in Washington, D.C. about doing
what is necessary to protect you. And there's a lot of
good people working hard to do so. (Applause.) And I appreciate
it.
As the 9/11 Commission said, America is safer, but not
yet safe. I agree. And so you just got to know there's
some fine people at all levels of government working hard.
But the best way to protect the homeland is to stay on
the offensive, is to find the terrorists -- (applause.)
You cannot talk sense to these people. You've seen how
they behave. You saw the attacks of September the 11th.
You saw what happened to those Russian schoolchildren.
America must continue to lead the world. We will find them
overseas so we do not have to face them here at home. (Applause.)
We're making progress. We're making progress. Three-quarters
of al Qaeda's known leadership has been brought to justice.
Because we upheld doctrine that said if you harbor a terrorist,
you're equally as guilty as the terrorists, the Taliban
are no longer in power in Afghanistan. Think about the
progress in Afghanistan. It wasn't all that long ago that
young girls weren't allow to go to school, and their moms
would be pulled in a public square and whipped if they
didn't toe the line of these barbaric people. And today,
Afghanistan is an ally in the war on terror. Over 10 million
citizens have registered to vote in the upcoming presidential
election. (Applause.) Amazing, isn't it? Freedom is on
the march in Afghanistan, and that's good for America.
In Iraq, we removed a sworn enemy of America who had ties
to terror and used weapons of mass destruction. Listen,
I recognize we didn't find the stockpiles we all thought
were there -- all of us thought were there. (Applause.)
But -- but remember Saddam Hussein had the capability of
making weapons. He could have passed that capability on
to the enemy. And that's not a risk we could afford to
take after September the 11th. (Applause.) Knowing what
I know today, I would have made the same decision. (Applause.)
America -- America and the world are safer with Saddam
in a prison cell.
We're making progress there. I'm impressed -- I'm impressed
by Prime Minister Allawi. He's a strong guy who believes
that democracy is the future of Iraq, and he's got hard
work to do. It wasn't all that long ago that people were
brutalized by Saddam Hussein. But we're making progress.
There will be elections in January of next year. It's amazing
when you think about it -- they've gone from tyranny to
elections in a brief period of time. (Applause.)
Our goal -- our goal in Iraq is to -- like it is in Afghanistan,
is to help provide enough stability so the political process
can move forward; is to train Iraqis and Afghan citizens
so they can do the hard work of defending their country
against the few who want to thwart the desires of the many;
is to put those countries on the path to stability and
democracy as quickly as possible, and then bring our troops
home. (Applause.)
I'm oftentimes asked what I tell those who -- the loved
ones of those who lost their life in combat. I tell them
this: I say, your son or daughter or wife or husband is
serving during historic times. These are times that will
help make this world a more peaceful place. It's a time
for little children to be able to -- when we get it right
-- for children to grow up in a peaceful world. I tell
them that in order to honor their memory, we will complete
the mission. (Applause.)
I say this -- I believe in the power of liberty to transform
lives. That's what I believe. The core of my belief is
that liberty has got the incredible capacity to convert
enemies to friends, tyrannical societies to free societies.
And that makes the world more peaceful, a peace we all
want.
You know, I tell people about my meetings with Prime Minister
Koizumi, the Prime Minister of Japan, who is the Prime
Minister of a country that my dad fought against, your
dads and grandfathers fought against. They were the sworn
enemy of America some 60 years ago. And today I sit down
at the table with him to discuss peace. He's an ally in
peace. And I'm able to do so because my predecessor, Harry
Truman, and other American citizens believed that the enemy
could become a friend if democracy took hold in Japan.
Now, there was a lot of skeptics and doubters during those
days, and you can understand why -- we'd just been fighting
these people. But because they believed in the power of
liberty to transform lives, they helped Japan develop a
self-governing democracy. And today Japan is an ally when
it comes to keeping the peace. The Prime Minister and I
talk about North Korea, we talk about Iraq, we talk about
humanitarian needs around the world. Someday an American
President will be sitting down with a duly elected leader
of Iraq, and they're going to be talking about the peace,
and they're going to look back in history, and say, thank
goodness America never forgot the power of liberty -- (applause)
-- the power of liberty to change lives. (Applause.)
I want to thank you all for giving me a chance to come
by today. As you can see, I've got a plan to continue growing
this economy, so people can realize their hopes and dreams;
that I know what needs to be done when
it comes to securing this homeland and winning the war
on terror; that I believe strongly in the values that make
us a great nation; and that, with your help, we're going
to win Pennsylvania and win a great election in November.
(Applause.)
God bless. Thank you all for coming. Thank you all. (Applause.)
