To My Fellow Members of the Texas A&M Family:
Howdy! As you have probably heard, I have invited the 44th President of the United States of America to come visit the Bush Library and Texas A&M, and President Obama has graciously accepted.
Along with the administration, faculty, and so many of you, I am honored that The President, our President, is taking the time and making the effort to come to College Station on October 16th to talk about an issue that unites all Americans — namely, community service and its vast importance to our continued well-being as a Nation. Our country still faces many tough challenges, and the message that will come out of our Presidential Forum on Service, I hope, is that every American regardless of age has an important part to play in helping us overcome the obstacles to our common progress.
This is not about politics. This is about the importance of service to our communities and our country.
It would be hard to imagine a more deserving college campus to host a Presidential Forum on volunteerism and community service than Texas A&M — which is, after all, a school steeped in a rich tradition of service. That’s why I am so proud to have our Bush Library and Museum and Bush School of Government and Public Service here, and I cannot wait for President Obama to experience the open, decent and welcoming Aggie spirit for himself.
This will be an important national moment, and a moment for Texas A&M to shine in the global spotlight as it always does. I sincerely hope and believe it will serve as a point of Aggie pride for many years to come.
Gig ‘em!
George Bush (#41)

Vickie, I can't fathom that you really believe what you just wrote. Do you know what socialism entails?Where in the world did you get your information? You could benefit from some serious reading in non-partisan media.
We sh'd support our president even if he makes decisions that will destroy America and all the freedoms we know today???? Only fools and followers hypnotized would ignore the actions of this administration. NO, we have Freedom of Speech at least as of now, we exercise the Right to Voice Opposition. Did the same people speak out against all the mean spirited protestors that opposed President Bush. I bet not! Go ahead, stick your head in the mud. Someday, you'll get taxed on that as well with this so called leadership. We pray for new honest leadership!
