President Bush signed the Promoting Safe and Stable Families bill today, which expands programs for at-risk children as well as supports those programs that encourage adoption, and those that try to reunite broken families or provide additional benefits for youths in foster care who are nearing adulthood without being adopted. Bush also met with labor leaders to discuss an energy policy that will help Americans find jobs as well as make the country less dependent on foreign energy products. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Government cannot love a child, but it can support those who do -- parents and family members and neighbors, and caring adults who have heard the call.

Bump for Safe and Stable Families

Looks like he was also working on getting Union votes.

I think the dims are going to be surprised at how well the GOP does in 2002.

Ah to be a fly on THAT wall! LOL. Below is a link to the published statement from that meeting...

Glad to see the Prez aggressively courting the labor vote.

I worked for a labor union and could never understand their blind support for the dems, who never really did anything to benefit working people.

Working people are just that: workers and they pay taxes and most of them are pretty good people. The dem policies are not job-friendly to labor union members. Maybe Dubya can make them realize that and take away some votes from the dems.

Before 9/11 we had USA military in 140 countries around the world.
There were plans to cut the number of troops in Bosnia at that time.
Due to 9/11 our military is expanding to more countries.
In fact US Military expansion is now the greatest in US history.
Please take a moment to e-mail someone in the military and say Thanks.

There is something scary seeing George W. Bush and Hoffa Jr. at the same table, I have always believed that Hoffa Sr. was behind RFK's assasination

Whoa! Who is the guy with the white hair - I know, he's married and has a dozen kids - aren't they all.

[Wphile]

Ohhhh...I'm early. I hardly ever get to be on this early. I love picture #1. W is always so cute around children. And I love his haircut - makes him look like a kid, scuffs and all. Where is Laura pray tell? Haven't seen her for a while.

I've been working all day so I'm not up on the news. Everyone is talking about AA and Enron, nothing about Bush though. Of course, I work in the accounting industry so AA is on everyone's minds. No one thinks of it as a political story, however. Go W! Get that union vote. Hee hee. The poor Dems don't have a clue.

[Rightly Biased]

ouch!!! "pic 3" man I'd get a new coffe table if mine left a mark like that on me.

[maica]

Both of the Union Presidents sitting beside President Bush were his supporters in the 2000 election.

[Snow Bunny]

That is such a precious picture,what an adorable child and the way President Bush is looking at him with such kindness and care. This is wonderful rintense !!!!

Tonkin, I hope all of us are sending mail to our troops. They need to know that we love them for defending the United States of America. I would also hope that they hear very little of those who wish to defect to other countries to avoid the possibility of a "draft" or other responsibilities to their country. Our military folks should be insulated from the poisonous factor, however small, in our country; because it demoralizes them, and reduces their morale. If I were 30 years younger, I'd be pushing to get into the front of the line at a recruiting station to enlist in our armed forces.
