Jeb Bush was born in Midland, Texas. After first arriving in Florida, he helped start a real estate development company that today is one of the largest, full-service commercial real estate companies in South Florida. In 1987-88, he served as Florida's Secretary of Commerce and promoted Florida's business climate worldwide.

Following an unsuccessful bid in 1994 for the Governor's Office, Governor Bush founded the Foundation for Florida's Future, a not-for-profit organization to influence public policy at the grassroots level. As chairman of the foundation, he co-founded the state's first charter school - Liberty City Charter School - with the Urban League of Greater Miami.

He was elected Florida's 43rd Governor in 1998 and re-elected in 2002, becoming the first Republican to be re-elected Governor in the state's history.

Tragically, Jeb Bush is still walking around in the Public School Trance. Government schools cannot possibly teach real virtue, because the only basis for teaching what IS virtuous, and the only motives for BEING virtuous, are to be found in religious dogmas. And these are excluded from government-run schools.
