A reprint of Article
In Response to the many requests to reprint my Letter sent 4/7/2002 to Editorial for Texasgov.com/editorials which is out of service.
Here it is:
On a scale of 1-10,I give President Bush a 10,for Excellence. He has brought decency to the White House and to The American People by making a U turn to family values and back to GOD the faith of our founding fathers. Now in this time of crisis he is responding wisely and with just anger for the assault on his People.
Considering he has been in office just a few months. He had to start from scratch when he found the White House vandalized,Innadequate National Defense and with hostile Democrats in office, and... in case it was not enough visitors the first place they want to see is the "Oval Office" so they can picture what Ex-president Clinton was doing with the intern. Ex-President Clinton left a Mentality Legacy: "if it feels good, do it!" no responsability and no accountability. The "Media" has been bias and prejudice against President Bush. They are sore loosers, they do not want to admit that the cubans in Florida told Ex-President Clinton and Janet Reno that they would take revenge at the voting polls for Elian Gonzales and they kept their promise by voting Thank God for President Bush!

National Prayer for Peace
Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech
Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.
Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we enstrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to ; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. AmenThomas Jefferson- March 4 1805 National Prayer for Peace
Democrats have themselves to blame
04/25/2003
By RUBEN NAVARRETTE / The Dallas Morning News
Democrats are flummoxed at the news that GOP strategists plan to center President Bush's re-election campaign on national security and fighting terrorism. But what Democrats really should be concerned about is that they have had so little to say on those issues.
According to recent stories citing Republican sources close to the White House, the president's re-election team is building the campaign around homeland security and Mr. Bush's efforts to preserve it. GOP strategists even have been so shrewd as to time the campaign's official launch Mr. Bush's acceptance speech at the Republican convention on Sept. 2, 2004 to coincide with the beginning of commemorations marking the third anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
And how's this for serendipity: Next year's GOP convention just happens to be in New York City's Madison Square Garden, not far from Ground Zero.
No wonder Democrats are freaked out. They are accusing Republicans of exploiting a national tragedy and politicizing the war on terrorism. Those aren't trivial charges, and Mr. Bush's advisers told The New York Times they acknowledge that such a perception could wind up stinging Republicans in the long run. Yet it is the Democrats who today are feeling the sting, a sensation that only gets worse now that Republicans say they are prepared to spend a breathtaking million to retain the presidency or roughly twice the amount it took Mr. Bush to win in 2000.
It is understandable that Democrats are angry, but they can't be surprised. Of course, the GOP is playing its strongest hand national security. Many Americans tell pollsters they feel safer and more secure when Republicans are in the White House.
Democrats would prefer to spend the next year and a half talking about what they see as their issues. They are champing at the bit to talk about the nation's weak economy and rising deficits or otherwise try to portray Mr. Bush as inattentive to domestic challenges.

Anyway, what would you expect to happen in this, the first presidential election of the post-9/11 era? National security is more than a fair and legitimate issue. It is a real-life, everyday concern to many Americans especially those who live in New York and Washington and who tell pollsters they expect more attacks. To people who harbor those sorts of fears, it matters a great deal which party seems up to the task of protecting Americans.

Besides, had Mr. Bush failed the test of leadership and bungled our nation's response to the terrorist attacks, Americans would have held that against him and rightly so. So, now that Mr. Bush has enjoyed some success breaking up the Taliban and much of al-Qaeda, neutralizing the threat in Iraq and restoring some sense of security to many Americans isn't it only fair that he get some credit?

And what better time is there to give credit to a public servant than in an election?

Don't get distracted by the Democrats' tantrums. It isn't true that Republicans somehow are hitting their rivals below the belt. The truth is that there are some fights where many Democrats, including many of the nine declared 2004 presidential candidates, long ago threw in the towel.

On the war in Iraq, there wasn't a sliver of daylight between the president's policy and the positions voiced by some of his most formidable Democratic challengers. Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt all agreed with Mr. Bush that Saddam Hussein needed to be ousted. Of the top-tier candidates, only former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean broke from the herd and voiced an anti-war message.

And when it came to fighting terrorism, Democrats were more concerned about keeping union supporters happy than in making sure things ran smoothly at the new Homeland Security Department. They disappointed part of their base civil libertarians when they failed to kick up a fuss over whether the Justice Department was violating the due process rights of Middle Eastern detainees. Afraid of being seen as soft on terrorism, they said hardly a word while the rights of individuals were violated.
So, now when the national conversation turns to matters such as national security and fighting terrorism, Democrats complain they are at a disadvantage.
No kidding. If they would like to have someone to blame, they don't have to look very far. Anybody got a mirror?

A foreign-born U.S. president? Bills would allow just that

Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Schwarzenegger for president in 2008?

No, he's not eligible. Born in Austria, he's barred by the Constitution. But that would change under an amendment introduced Wednesday by a fellow California Republican.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's proposal would allow anyone who's been a U.S. citizen for 20 years to run for the nation's highest office. That would include Arnold Schwarzenegger – bodybuilder, movie star and now governor of California.

Schwarzenegger, who became a citizen in 1983, has said he supports amending the Constitution so foreign-born citizens can run for president. But he's sidestepped questions about whether he might want to run, saying he's focused on governing California.

Rohrabacher said in an interview that Schwarzenegger was doing a great job as governor, but his real aim was to open up the presidential process. "We've got some talented people who might be able to help our country and provide some much-needed leadership, and there's no reason if they've been a citizen for over 20 years to exclude them," he said.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, has introduced similar legislation in the Senate.

In remarks prepared for the House floor, he suggested he really wanted to help a California congressman, and a Democrat at that.

"This is no ploy. I honestly believe that Tom Lantos should be able to seek the highest office in the land, just like any other elected official," he said.

Lantos, 76 and born in Hungary, said he saw no need to amend the Constitution.

"However, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is re-established in the United States, I will invite Arnold Schwarzenegger to be my lieutenant," he said.

Constitutional amendments require passage by two-thirds of both the House and the Senate and then approval by three-fourths of the states.
