Senator John Cornyn

September 11, 2008

Dear Friend,

On September 11 every year, we are reminded anew that America retains the exceptional ability to turn a day of tragedy into a day of strength. We have met adversity this way for generations.

We are also reminded that the threat of terrorism remains very real. The world is still a dangerous place; determined enemies are set upon destroying our way of life. We must stay on offense and keep vigilant.

America is prosperous and free because we have maintained a robust national defense. At its heart today are the dedicated men and women in our all-volunteer military. They deserve our gratitude, respect and unqualified support.

September 11 also reminds our nation of the emergency first responders who made America proud during the tragic events that day. They work daily across Texas, out of the spotlight, yet always potentially in harm's way. They also deserve our admiration and support.

I'm proud that Texas has such a major role in our nation's security. I also take great pride in the Texas public servants who safeguard our communities every day.

Together we will ensure that America remains secure, the world's beacon of hope, and that our children and grandchildren have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. Together we will make certain our best days are still ahead.

Sincerely,

John Cornyn

Earlier today Sen. McCain announced Gov. Palin as his Vice-Presidential choice.

Senator Cornyn issued a response, saying:

"This choice reaffirms Sen. McCain's commitment to energy independence, spending restraint and reforming the way Washington works. Gov. Palin supports an "all of the above" energy approach, with first-hand experience advocating it. She has a strong record of working to cut wasteful spending. She is firmly dedicated to promoting strong families and protecting the most vulnerable in society. Gov. Palin will be a true agent of change who brings a breath of fresh air to Washington from far outside-the-beltway."

Last month Gov. Palin joined Senator Cornyn during his "Energy Independence Days" online. Read her guest post here.
