    Remarks on Election Day in Crawford, Texas
    November 7, 2006

        Laura and I know it's a privilege to be able
    to cast our vote, and I encourage all Americans to vote today.
        We live in a free society, and our Government is only as good as the
    willingness of our people to participate in it. And therefore, no matter
    what your party affiliation or if you don't have a party affiliation, do
    your duty: Cast your ballot, and let your voice be heard. So we thank
    you for being a good citizen. It's good to be here voting in Texas.
    We're going to be heading back up to Washington here pretty soon and
    watch the results.
        Appreciate it. Thank you all.

    Note: The President spoke at 7:10 a.m. at the Crawford Fire Station. The
    Office of the Press Secretary also released a Spanish language
    transcript of these remarks.
