Notable Quotations about the NFRW

thousands of Republicans from all across the country.”

"I thank all of you for your hard work on behalf of our
administration and our party in 2000 and again in 2002. In

difference, and I'll be counting on you again in 2004."
– George W. Bush, letter to the NFRW convention, 2003

for Republicans throughout the country at all levels of
office, and Barbara and I very much appreciate the hard work.

of the Bush clan.”

outcome of the future.”

election.”
