    Remarks in Waukesha, Wisconsin
    July 14, 2004

        The President. Thanks for coming. It's good to be back here in
    Waukesha. What a beautiful day. Listen, I was talking to
    Tommy, and I said, ``You know, I need to
    get back to Wisconsin.'' He said, ``You sure do.'' I said, ``Do you know
    your way around there?'' [Laughter] So he and I have gotten on this
    modest little bus here. [Laughter] And we're going to travel your
    beautiful State.
        I'm here asking for the vote. I've come back to this important State
    to say to the people of Wisconsin, I know what I need to do to lead this
    country. I know what I need to do to make the world more peaceful,
    America more hopeful. I know what I want to do to make America safer,

    [[Page 1308]]

    stronger, and better. I'm here to ask for your help for 4 more years.
        And I couldn't have come with a better escort. You educated
    him well. [Laughter] I picked a good man
    when I asked him to come to Washington to lead a very important agency.
    He is a superb leader. He's a great organizer. He's got a clear vision.
    He cares deeply about the people of Wisconsin and the United States of
    America. Tommy Thompson is doing a fabulous job on behalf of the
    American people.
        My only regret, and I'm sure it's yours as well, is that Laura is not traveling with me. No, I know, most people are
    wise enough to say, ``Why don't you just go ahead and stay at home and
    let her carry the burden.'' [Laughter] I was a lucky man when she said
    yes. She's a great lady and a fabulous First Lady for America. She's
    campaigning somewhere else, but today I am fortunate that one of our
    college graduates, one of our daughters, is traveling with me. I'm
    really proud to introduce Barbara Bush. Made
    it out of college in 4 years. [Laughter]
        I know Sue Ann Thompson is with us, and
    so is Tommy--Tommy's daughter. I appreciate
    the Thompson family as well for enabling Tommy to serve the country so
    well. Listen, being in public life isn't easy on the families, and Tommy
    has got a great family. And I appreciate their supporting him so well.
        I appreciate Cheryl Sensenbrenner
    representing her husband, Jim.
    The chairman is doing a fine job. He's a good Congressman. I enjoy
    working with him. I know you're going to send him back, and I know
    you're going to send me back, so we'll be working together for 4 more
    years.
        I want to thank my friend State Senator Mary Panzer, the majority leader of the statehouse, the State senate,
    for being here today. Thanks for coming, Mary. Mary Lazich as well, who's the State senator. Thanks for the members
    of the senate and the house and all the local officials who are here to
    say hello. Turn out the vote. Thanks for serving. But join these
    grassroots activists in finding people to register, and tell them
    they've got a duty as an American to show up and vote on election day.
    And when you get them steered toward the polls, give them a little nudge
    in our direction. [Laughter] They're going to like the message. It's
    hopeful. It's optimistic. It's positive about the future of this great
    country.
        I appreciate Jim Klauser and Mary
    Buestrin, all the people who have dedicated
    themselves to being involved in the political process. By the way, if
    you're interested in volunteering, we've gone high tech--
    georgewbush.com. It's an easy one to remember. [Laughter] Why don't you
    just go ahead and log on, and it will show you how you can help in the
    campaign. I'm serious. It's a--I can't win this without you.
        I can't win--and when you're talking to the voters, remind them that
    over the last 3 years, we have faced serious challenges, and this
    administration has given serious answers. You might remind the voters
    that when we came to office, the stock market was in decline and the
    economy was headed into recession. We acted. We delivered historic tax
    relief. And over the past 3 years, America has had the fastest growing
    economy of any major industrialized nation.
        When we arrived in Washington, DC--when the great Vice President
    Dick Cheney and I arrived in Washington, DC--the
    military was underfunded, and it was underappreciated. You might
    remember back to those times. So we gave our Armed Forces the resources
    and respect they deserve. And today, no one can question the skill and
    the strength and the spirit of the United States military.
        We saw war and grief arrive on a quiet September morning. We pursued
    the terrorist enemy across the world. We've captured or killed many of
    the key leaders of the Al Qaida network. We will stay on the hunt until
    justice is served and America is safe. We confronted the dangers of
    state-sponsored terror and the spread of weapons

    [[Page 1309]]

    of mass destruction. We acted against two of the most violent and
    dangerous regimes on Earth. We liberated over 50 million people. Once
    again, America is proud to lead the armies of liberation.
        These accomplishments are important to the security and prosperity
    of America. They should say to the American people, I understand it is
    my job to confront problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents
    and future generations. It's the President's job to make the tough
    decisions and to keep his commitments. And that is how I will continue
    to lead this country for 4 more years.
        I'm working hard because this is going to be a tough campaign. I
    know it, and you know it. We take nothing for granted. We got a lot of
    work to do. I've got to take my message out to the people. I've got to
    rally the volunteers such as yourselves to go to work. I'm looking
    forward to it. My opponent is a highly
    experienced United States Senator. He's been in Washington----
        Audience members. Boo-o-o!
        The President. He's been in Washington a lot
    longer than I've been in Washington. He's been there so long, he's taken
    about both sides of just about every issue. He voted for PATRIOT Act. He
    voted for NAFTA. He voted for the No Child Left Behind Act, and he voted
    for the use of force in Iraq. Now--[laughter]--he opposes the PATRIOT
    Act and NAFTA and the No Child Left Behind Act and the liberation of
    Iraq. If you disagree with John Kerry on most any issue, you may just
    have caught him on the wrong day. [Laughter]
        He came out here to the Midwest, and he said
    he was the candidate with the conservative values.
        Audience members. Boo-o-o!
        The President. I know. I know--I know. [Laughter] I'm just quoting
    what he said. [Laughter] It's hard to square that
    when he said, ``I'm liberal and proud of it.'' Now he has a
    runningmate. Senator Kerry is rated as the most
    liberal Member of the United States Senate. And he chose a fellow lawyer
    who is the fourth most liberal Member of the United States Senate. Now
    in Massachusetts, that's what they call balancing the ticket. [Laughter]
        Great events will turn on this election. The person who sits in the
    Oval Office will set the course of the war on terror and set the course,
    the direction of our economy. I'm here to ask for the vote because I
    have a clear vision and a strategy to win the war on terror and to
    extend peace and freedom throughout the world. I'm here asking for your
    vote--I'm here in this vital State asking for the vote because I have a
    plan to continue to create jobs and, therefore, opportunity throughout
    our entire country. I'm here to ask for the vote because I have a plan
    to rally--to continue to rally the compassionate spirit of the American
    people so every single citizen has a chance to realize the great promise
    of our country. When you give me 4 more years, America will be safer,
    America will be stronger, and America will be a better country.
        A big issue for every family, and a big issue in this campaign, is
    the Federal tax burden. It's a big issue. By providing the largest tax
    relief since Ronald Reagan was the President, we have left more money in
    the hands that earned it. By spending and investing and to helping
    create jobs, the American people have used their money far better than
    the Government could have.
        Today I met Scott and Shelly
    Mueller and their children. They're from New
    Berlin. They've got four kids. The tax relief that we passed--and we
    raised the child credit and reduced the marriage penalty and created a
    10-percent bracket and reduced all rates. Our view is if anybody pays
    taxes, all people ought to--if we have tax relief, everybody ought to
    get tax relief. That's what we thought. That's the fair way to do
    things. Well, the Muellers saved $2,700 on their taxes in '03. They'll
    save the same this year. And the reason I bring

    [[Page 1310]]

    them up is oftentimes in Washington, they speak in terms of billions of
    this and billions of that, and we tend to forget what tax relief means
    for the families of America, what it means for the individuals. The
    $2,700 for the Muellers means a lot.
        Here's what Shelly said. She said, ``We
    used that money for home improvement projects.'' See, it's their home,
    and they're trying to improve their home. That's a positive development.
    She said, ``We just couldn't afford these investment projects on our
    monthly budget. This is something we're counting on.''
        Tax relief matters to the people of this country. Oh, some of the
    sophisticates will say that $2,700 doesn't matter to the Muellers--it doesn't sound
    like a lot to me. It's a lot to them. That's what counts. And when they
    have more money in their pocket, the economy benefits.
        When people fully understand what they did, they'll understand a big
    component of the tax relief was to encourage the growth of our small
    businesses in America. See, 70 percent of new jobs are created by small
    businesses. Therefore, the tax relief must address the needs of the
    small-business owners.
        Today I met Kyle Stoehr. He's got a
    manufacturing company. His business is strong--at least that's what he
    told me, and I take him for his word for it. He said he hired seven new
    workers. See, that's what's happening all across the country. Small
    business after small business after small business is gaining confidence
    about the future, and they're putting people on the payroll. He's
    planning to invest $400,000 in software and machinery. Because of the
    tax relief, he's going to save $65,000 this year. See, that tax relief
    matters to small-business owners. It's helping the small businesses of
    the United States of America.
        Steve Ziegler, he's the president of the
    InPro Corporation. He's a small-business owner. He makes architectural
    projects--products. He hired eight workers this year. He's planning on
    investing money; the tax relief has encouraged him to invest money. The
    reason I bring up these small-business owners is because it's not
    Government that creates wealth; it's the small-business owners that are
    expanding, that are creating the opportunity for Americans from all
    walks of life.
        I don't know if you know this or not, but there are thousands of
    small businesses which pay tax at the individual income-tax rate level.
    See, if you're a Subchapter S corporation or a sole proprietorship like
    most small businesses, you pay tax at the individual income-tax level.
    And so when you hear them talking in Washington about running up those
    taxes--kind of taxing the rich--really what you need to be hearing is,
    they're going to tax small-business owners. And that would be bad for
    this economy. Now is not the time to be raising taxes on small
    businesses or on working people in America. Now is the time to make sure
    we've got permanency in the Tax Code. Now is the time to make sure we
    don't ruin this economic growth by running up the taxes on the American
    people.
        Tax relief is working. It's working. Since last summer, our economy
    has been growing at its fastest rate in nearly 20 years. As Tommy said,
    since last August we've added 1.5 million new jobs. People are going
    back to work. Here in Wisconsin, the unemployment rate has dropped to
    5.1 percent. Homeownership rate is at an alltime high. That's a
    fantastic statistic, isn't it? We want more people owning their own
    home. When you own something, you have a vital stake in the future of
    the United States of America.
        Interest rates are low. Business investment is growing. Consumer
    confidence is at a 2-year high. Personal incomes are up. The economic
    stimulus plan that we worked with Congress on is paying off. This
    economy is strong, and it is getting stronger.
        And there's a different view, of course. That's what campaigns are
    all about. My

    [[Page 1311]]

    opponents looked at this progress and somehow
    concluded the sky is falling. It doesn't matter whether their message is
    delivered with a frown or a smile, it's the same old pessimism--same old
    pessimism. And they're going to cheer us up with higher taxes--
    [laughter]--more Federal spending, and economic isolationism. The good
    news is, we're not going to let them do that. We're going to keep taxes
    low to make sure people can find work and people to be able to realize
    their dream.
        We're going to continue to bring fiscal discipline to Washington,
    DC. See, it starts with understanding that we're not spending the
    Government's money; we're spending your money. And we must be good
    stewards with your money in the Nation's Capital.
        I hear it all the time that small-business owners are very worried
    about some things, and so am I. We got to solve these problems to make
    sure people can find work. I want this economy not only to be strong
    today, I want it to be strong 10 years from now. I want this to be the
    best place in the world to do business so people can find good, high-
    paying jobs.
        We've got to do something about these frivolous lawsuits. You cannot
    be pro-small-business and pro-trial-lawyer at the same time. You have to
    choose. My opponent has made his choice, and he
    put him on the ticket. [Laughter] I made my
    choice: I will continue to push Congress to reform the laws of America
    to end these frivolous and junk lawsuits that make it hard for small
    businesses to grow their businesses.
        Tommy mentioned we've got a plan for
    better and affordable health care for the American people and for the
    small-business owners of America that includes association health plans
    and tax-free health savings accounts. Now, I agree with Tommy. In order
    to make sure you've got good doctors here in Wisconsin practicing their
    healing, in order to make sure health care is affordable, we need
    medical liability reform. We need the Federal Government to make sure
    that people can have their day in court, but we've got to stop these
    lawsuits that are driving docs out of business. It's in your interest.
    It's in the people's interest that we get this done.
        Listen, in order to make sure this economy is a place where people
    can find work, we need an energy plan. I submitted one to the United
    States Congress. They need to pass that to my desk. It calls for
    modernizing the electricity system. It calls for the use of alternative
    sources of energy. It encourages conservation, but we can explore for
    energy in environmentally friendly ways. For the sake of economic
    security, for the sake of national security, we must be less dependent
    on foreign sources of energy.
        I know we've got some farmers here. Listen, our farm economy is
    strong, and I intend to keep it that way. That's a good sign for States
    like Wisconsin. The farming families of this State are making a good
    living, and one of the reasons why is because they're selling Wisconsin
    products overseas. If you're good at something, we want people buying
    it. We're real good at growing things. We're very good at making things.
    I'm a person who believes that we ought to be opening up markets, not
    closing markets. Just listen: My view is, give our workers and farmers
    and entrepreneurs a chance to compete, and we can compete with anybody,
    anywhere, anytime.
        There's a clear difference in this campaign on how to make sure this
    is a good place for people to find work. If you reelect me, I'll
    continue to pursue a pro-growth, pro-entrepreneur, pro-farmer, pro-
    small-business agenda, and America will be better off for it.
        Our future also depends on our willingness to lead in this world.
    The momentum of freedom in our time is strong. But we still face serious
    dangers. Al Qaida is wounded but not broken. Terrorists continue to
    attack in Afghanistan and Iraq. Regimes in North Korea and Iran are
    challenging the peace. If America shows weakness and uncertainty in this
    decade, the

    [[Page 1312]]

    world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.
        Audience members. Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
        The President. After the attacks of September the 11th, I resolved
    and this Nation resolved to bring justice to the terrorists, no matter
    where they dwell. We resolved to hold regimes that hide and sponsor
    terrorists to account. We made that resolution. And when you say
    something, you better mean it. In order for the world to be peaceful,
    when you say something, you better mean it. And I meant what we said.
    Afghanistan was a terrorist state. It was a training camp for Al Qaida
    killers. Because we acted, Afghanistan is a rising democracy,
    Afghanistan is an ally in the war on terror, and many young girls now go
    to school for the first time.
        Iraq, only last year, was controlled by a dictator who threatened the civilized world. It's important for
    our fellow citizens to remember, he used weapons of mass destruction
    against his own people. For decades, he has tormented and tortured the
    people of his country. Because we acted, Iraq today is a free and
    sovereign nation. Because we acted, its dictator now sits in a prison
    cell and will receive the justice he denied so many for so long.
        September the 11th, 2001, taught us a lesson we must never forget.
    It's a lesson I'll never forget. And it's this: America must confront
    threats before they fully materialize, before it's too late. That's the
    lesson that we must never forget as a nation. And so, remembering that
    and remembering the past of the dictator, we
    looked at the intelligence, and we saw a threat. Now, the United States
    Congress, including members of both political parties, looked at the
    same intelligence, and they saw a threat. The United Nations Security
    Council looked at the intelligence, and it saw a threat.
        I went to the United Nations and said, ``For years, you've passed
    resolutions, and for years, the dictator in Iraq has ignored the resolutions.'' I said, ``Why don't we
    work together to pass a resolution and, this time, mean what we say.''
    See, they had seen the threat. So on a 15-nothing vote, the U.N.
    Security Council demanded a full accounting of Saddam Hussein's weapons
    programs, or face serious consequences. And as he had for over a decade,
    the dictator deceived the world. The dictator chose defiance. It was his
    choice to make. He refused to comply. So I had a choice to make: Ignore
    the lessons of September the 11th and hope for the best, trust the word
    of a madman; or defend America. Given that choice, I will defend our
    country every time.
        Although we haven't found the stockpiles of weapons of mass
    destruction, we were right to go into Iraq, and America is safer today
    because we did. We removed a declared enemy
    of America who had the capability of producing weapons of mass
    destruction. He had that capability, and he could have passed that
    capability to terrorists bent on acquiring them. After September the
    11th, that was a risk we could not afford to take.
        And we've got hard work to do there and important work to do there.
    Our immediate task around the world and in Iraq and Afghanistan is to
    bring those terrorists to justice. See, you can't talk sense to them.
    You can't negotiate with terrorists. You can't sit back and hope that
    somehow therapy will work and they will change their ways. [Laughter]
    That's just not the way it is. We must engage the enemies in Afghanistan
    and Iraq and around the world so we do not have to face them here at
    home.
        We know these terrorists want to strike us again because they want
    to disrupt our way of life and spread fear. That's what they want to do.
    So we're doing everything we can to protect the homeland. You just need
    to know there are a lot of really decent, hard-working people that are
    spending hours on our mutual behalf to do everything we can to disrupt a
    potential attack.

    [[Page 1313]]

    We're sharing intelligence like never before. We're running down every
    lead. And I know I speak for everybody when I thank the police and the
    firefighters and the emergency teams from the great State of Wisconsin
    who are serving as great first-responders.
        We will stay on the offense. We'll protect our homeland. Yet, in the
    long run, our safety requires something more. We must work to change the
    conditions that give rise to terror in the Middle East, the poverty and
    the hopelessness and the resentment that the terrorists can exploit.
    Life in that region is going to be far more hopeful and more peaceful
    when men and women choose their own leaders. It will be a much better
    place, a much more hopeful place when the people get to decide their own
    fate.
        You see, by serving the ideal of liberty, we are bringing hope to
    others, and that makes America more secure. By serving the ideal of
    liberty, we serve the deepest ideals of our own country because, you
    see, we understand that freedom is not America's gift to the world;
    freedom is the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman in this world.
        The world is changing for the better because of American leadership.
    Three years ago, Afghanistan was the home base of Al Qaida. Now, the
    terror camps are closed, democracy is rising, and the American people
    are safer. Three years ago, Pakistan was a safe transit point for
    terrorists on missions of murder. Now, we're working with the Pakistani
    Government to find those killers in remote regions of that country, and
    America is safer. Three years ago, Saudi--in Saudi Arabia, terrorists
    were not challenged by that Government. Today, we're working with the
    Saudi Government, and the Saudi Government is running down Al Qaida
    leadership, and America is safer. Three years ago, Libya was spending
    millions of dollars to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Now,
    thousands of Libyan chemical munitions have been destroyed. Libya has
    given up its nuclear processing equipment, and America is safer. No, the
    world is changing for the better. Three years ago, the dictator in
    Iraq was a threat. He was a threat to us. He
    was a threat to the free world. He was a threat to the people in the
    neighborhood, and he was a threat to his own people. That dictator is no
    longer a threat, and the American people are safer.
        I need 4 more years to complete the work. There's more to do to make
    America a safer place. There's more work to do to make the world a more
    peaceful place. We will finish the work of democracy in Afghanistan and
    Iraq.
        Listen, the good leaders have stepped up there, people who believe
    in the aspirations of their people. And we will support them. And the
    good people in those countries are taking more responsibility for their
    own security. They want to live in freedom. There moms and dads want
    their children to be able to grow up in a peaceful and free society.
    They can count on us. That's what they need to hear. They need to hear
    from America they can count on the American people. You see, when we
    give our word, we keep our word.
        I see people who proudly wear our uniform here, and I want to thank
    you for your service. At bases across our country and the world, I've
    had the privilege of meeting with those who defend our country and
    sacrifice for our country. I had the high honor of meeting those family
    members whose son or daughter paid the ultimate sacrifice. The best way
    to honor their bravery is to complete the mission and make sure America
    is safer and the world is more free.
        Anytime we put our troops in harm's way, they deserve the best
    training, the best pay, the best possible support. That's why last
    September, I proposed what we call a supplemental funding request to
    support our military in its mission. That's more money for the troops--
    money that would help pay for body armor or vital equipment

    [[Page 1314]]

    or hazard pay or health benefits, ammunition, fuel, spare parts. It was
    money to support them.
        In the Senate, only a small, out-of-mainstream minority voted
    against the legislation. Two of those twelve Senators are my
    opponent and his runningmate.
        Audience members. Boo-o-o!
        The President. Now, when Senator Kerry tried
    to explain his vote, here's what he said. He said, ``I actually did vote
    for the $87 billion, before I voted against it.'' [Laughter] End quote.
    It sure doesn't clear it up, does it? [Laughter] Now he's offering a
    different explanation. Earlier this week, he said he is proud he and his
    runningmate voted against the funding for our troops.
        Audience members. Boo-o-o!
        The President. No, he's entitled to his view,
    but here's mine: Members of Congress should not vote to send troops into
    battle and then vote against funding them. As the Commander in Chief of
    this great military, I will see to it they have what is needed to
    complete their mission.
        We are leading the world with confidence and moral clarity, and
    we're calling on other nations to help us. There are over 60 nations
    involved in the Proliferation Security Initiative, nearly 40 nations in
    Afghanistan, over 30 nations in Iraq--countries committed to the same
    thing we're committed to, our own security through spreading democracy
    and peace and freedom. Over the next 4 years, I will continue to build
    coalitions to make the world a peaceful place. But I will never turn
    over America's national security decisions to leaders of other foreign
    countries.
        This Nation is prosperous and strong; yet, we need to remember that
    our greatest strength is in the character of our citizens. The true
    strength of America lies in the hearts and souls of our fellow citizens.
    The other day my opponent said that a bunch of
    entertainers from Hollywood conveyed the heart and soul of America.
        Audience members. Boo-o-o!
        The President. No, I believe the heart and soul of America is found
    in places in Wisconsin, in places just like Waukesha. Our Nation is
    strong because of the values we try to live by: courage, compassion,
    reverence, and integrity. We're strong because of the institutions that
    help give us direction and purpose: our families, our schools, our
    religious congregations. These values and institutions are fundamental
    to our lives, and they deserve the respect of our Government.
        We stand for high standards in our public schools. We stand for
    local control of our public schools. We stand for accountability in our
    public schools so no child is left behind in America. We stand for
    welfare reforms that require work and strengthen marriage, which have
    helped millions of Americans find independence and dignity in their
    lives. We stand for institutions like marriage and family, which are the
    foundations of society. We stand for a culture of life in which every
    person matters. We stand for judges who strictly and faithfully
    interpret the law, instead of legislating from the bench. We stand for
    the fair treatment of faith-based groups so they can receive Federal
    support for their works of compassion and healing.
        We stand for a culture of responsibility. The culture of this
    country is changing from one that has said, ``If it feels good, do it,''
    and ``If you've got a problem, blame somebody else,'' to a culture in
    which each of us understands we're responsible for the decisions we make
    in life. If you are fortunate enough to be a mother or a father, you're
    responsible for loving your child with all your heart and all your soul.
    If you're worried about the quality of the education in the community in
    which you live, you're responsible for doing something about it. If
    you're a CEO in corporate America, you're responsible for telling the
    truth to your shareholders and your employees. And in a responsibility
    society, each of us is responsible for loving our neighbor just like
    we'd like to be loved ourself.

        For all Americans, these years in our history will always stand
    apart. There are quiet times in a life of a nation when little is
    expected of its leaders. This isn't one of those times. You and I are
    living in a period where the stakes are high, the challenges are
    difficult, a time when firm resolve is needed.
        None of us will ever forget that week when one era ended and another
    began. On September the 14th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin
    Towers. I'm never going to forget that moment. There were workers in
    hardhats yelling at me, ``Whatever it takes.'' I remember looking in the
    eyes of either a policeman or firefighter, and he said, ``Do not let me
    down.''
        Like--as we all did that day, these men and women searching through
    the rubble took it personally. I took it personally. I have a
    responsibility that goes on. I will never relent in bringing justice to
    our enemies. I will defend the security of the American people, whatever
    it takes.
        I've also been witness to the great character of this country. I've
    seen the unselfish courage of our troops. I've seen the heroism of
    Americans in the face of danger. I've seen the spirit of service and
    compassion renewed in our country. And we've all seen our Nation unite
    in common purpose when it mattered most. We will need all these
    qualities for the work ahead. We have a war to win, and the world is
    counting on us to lead the cause of freedom and peace. We have a duty to
    spread opportunity to every part of America. This is the work that
    history has set before us. We welcome it. And we know that for our
    blessed country, the best days lie ahead.
        Thanks for coming. God bless. May God bless you all. Thank you all.
