http://www.georgewbush.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=2996Listen to the other side's proposals between now and November, and you'll see a very clear pattern. Their plans would increase the power of Washington and the bureaucracy, increase the clout of the trial lawyers, increase the size of government's claim on your paycheck, and they would not create jobs or drive economic growth. What we're hearing from the other side is the failed thinking of the past -- and we're not going back. (Applause.) Under the strong economic leadership of President Bush, this nation is going to continue moving forward for four more years. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
President Bush and I will also continue to defend our society's fundamental rights and values. We stand for the fair treatment of faith-based charities, so they can receive federal support for their good works. (Applause.) We stand for a culture of life, and we reject the brutal practice of partial birth abortion. (Applause.) We believe that our nation is one nation under God. (Applause.) And we believe that Americans ought to be able to say "under God" when they pledge allegiance to the flag. (Applause.) The founders of this great country acknowledged God in the Declaration of Independence, but we have judges now who seem to have forgotten this history.
The President and I are honored by your confidence in us, by your commitment to the cause we all share. We're grateful to our many friends across the great state of Iowa. Thanks for this tremendous welcome today. We're proud to have you on the team. And together, on November 2nd, we're going to see our cause forward to victory. (Applause.)
