Weighing
in on presidential candidates
VOTE BUSH
When he took office in 2001, President George
W. Bush promised to work for the progress and development
of the United States. From taxes to the economy,
homeland security to national defense, improving
education to ensuring better health care for seniors,
Bush has worked with Congress to bring higher expectations,
greater accountability and better service from government
while protecting the freedom of citizens.
Bush has a record of fighting for Americans, and,
over the next four years, he will work to further
the progress he’s already made.
Bush has increased funding for public education and
made it easier for students to attend college. Since
his election, the president has directly increased
Pell Grant funding by over 47 percent, and he has
increased the loan forgiveness rate for students.
Three years ago, Bush gave Americans tax breaks that
spurred economic growth and created jobs. Bush is
the only candidate with a consistent, detailed and
proven plan to continue to create jobs and spur economic
growth. Bush will provide over $500 million for job
creation, and he will work to simplify the tax system
and provide tax relief.
Following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Bush began
the fight on terrorism. He stated that America will
not sit back and wait for new threats to grow. We
will either fight the terrorists abroad or face the
consequences at home. With the support of more than
40 countries, the U.S. has liberated 50 million people
and destroyed many terrorist camps in Afghanistan.
Unlike Senator John Kerry, Bush has proven his position
in favor of fighting for America’s freedom.
Bush is the only candidate with a plan and record
of supporting our communities and honoring the American
values of compassion and service. Over the next four
years, Bush will continue to push for welfare reform.
The president will continue to support initiatives
allowing community and faith-based groups to participate
in federal, state and local programs without discrimination.
President Bush is dealing with rising health care
costs at the root of the problem, not by passing
them on to taxpayers. The president has a detailed
plan to improve health care by establishing health
savings accounts, lowering drug costs and opening
expanded health care centers. The president’s
goal is to have quality health care available to
all Americans.
As we look toward our future, we can and will continue
to see the progress of the Bush administration. As
Creighton students and Americans, we can count only
on President Bush to share our values, strengthen
our communities and fight for our freedom.
