Policies and Initiatives

Protecting the Homeland
America is safer today because of the President's policies to strengthen the security of our Nation's infrastructure and our borders.

Energy Security for the 21st Century
The President and his Administration are working to create greater energy security for our Nation. With the understanding that there is no short-term solution to high energy prices, President Bush is taking action to expand domestic production, increase vehicle efficiency, and promote alternative fuels to reduce the impact on American families. The President recognizes that we cannot rely on just one energy source; we need all of them.

President Bush's Tax Relief
President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax relief fueled economic growth and reduced the marginal rate for every income tax bracket. By the end of last year, Americans would have paid an additional $1.3 trillion in taxes had it not been for the President's tax relief. If the President's tax relief is allowed to expire at the end of 2010, Americans will pay about $280 billion more in taxes each year. With the largest tax increase in history looming, Congress should make the President's tax relief permanent.

Judicial Nominations
President Bush has nominated outstanding judicial candidates to fill vacancies on the Federal courts of appeals.

Fighting a Global War on Terror
President Bush is committed winning the War on Terror by defeating our enemies abroad so we do not have to confront them here at home.

Renewal in Iraq
The President's National Strategy for Victory in Iraq is helping the Iraqi people defeat the terrorists and build an inclusive constitutional democracy at the heart of the Middle East.
