From: George W. Bush

Dear Friend,

Tomorrow is the most important election of our lifetime and I'm asking for your vote.

In these times of change, some things don't change, the values we try to live by -- courage and compassion, reverence and integrity. And, we support the institutions that give our lives direction and purpose -- our families, our schools, and our faith.

We stand for a culture of life in which every person counts and every being matters. We stand for marriage and family, which are the foundations of our society. We stand for the appointment of federal judges who know the difference between personal opinion and a strict interpretation of the law.

I'm asking you to stand with me by voting tomorrow and encouraging your family and friends to vote. You can even get your voting location with a map and directions by going to www.GeorgeWBush.com/Vote.

My opponent's words on these issues are a little muddy, but his record is pretty clear. He says he supports the institution of marriage, but he voted against the Defense of Marriage Act. He voted against the ban on partial birth abortion. One time he called himself the candidate of conservative values, but he has described the Reagan years as a period of moral darkness. There is a mainstream in American politics, and my opponent sits on the far left bank. He can run from his record and views, but he cannot hide.

This election will also determine how America responds to the continuing danger of terrorism. The most solemn duty of the American President is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty or weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.

All these choices make this one of the most important elections in our history. The security and prosperity of our country, the health and education of our citizens, the retirement of our seniors, and the direction of our culture are all at stake. The decision is in the best hands because the decision belongs to the American people.

We've been through a lot together. We've been through a lot together in the last years. Because we've done the hard work of climbing that mountain, we see the valley below. We'll protect our families. We'll build on their prosperity. We'll defend our deepest values. We will spread freedom and peace. And as we do, America will be safer here at home.

Four years ago, I made a pledge that if you honored me with this office, I would uphold its honor and the dignity. With your help, I will do so for four more years.

May God bless you and continue to bless America.

Sincerely,
George W. Bush

P.S. Please stand with me by voting tomorrow and forwarding this message to at least five friends. Encourage them to go to www.GeorgeWBush.com/Vote to get their voting location along with a map and directions.
