ABOUT FAMILY

 a few have been implanted in an adoptive mother, and born, and are today healthy children. :: 010810

 A lot of people are working really hard to protect America, but in the long run, the best way to defend our homeland, the best way to make sure our children can live in peace, is to take the battle to the enemy and to stop them. :: 011108

 All Americans today are thinking, as well, of the families of these men and women who have been given this sudden shock and grief. :: 030201

 All fathers and mothers, in all societies, want their children to be educated, and live free from poverty and violence. :: 020129

 As I have met the heroes, hugged the families, and looked into the tired faces of rescuers, I have stood in awe of the American people. :: 020129

 As we mourn tomorrow, we must remember that our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, not a religion; that governments which support them are our enemies, not faithful Muslims who love their families, who yearn for a more peaceful and safe world for their children. :: 020910

 because we're committed to racial justice, we must make sure that America's public schools offer a quality education to every child from every background, which is the central purpose of the education reforms I signed last year. :: 030115

 Before we leave, I want to make a special request to the children of America. :: 011000

 By caring for children who need mentors, and for addicted men and women who need treatment, we are building a more welcoming society, a culture that values every life. :: 030128

 By encouraging family, we practice compassion. :: 020430

 By insisting on results, and challenging failure where we find it, we'll make an incredible difference in the lives of every child in America. :: 020430

 Congress listened to the people and responded by reducing tax rates, doubling the child credit, and ending the death tax. :: 020129

 Each of us is responsible … to love and guide our children, and help a neighbor in need. :: 000803

 finally, please continue praying for the victims of terror and their families, for those in uniform and for our great country. :: 010920

 Financial donations to the victims' families have reached more than 1 billion. :: 011108

 I'm told that "amachi" is a Western African word that means, "Who knows what God has brought us through this child. :: 021212

 I've been told that some fear to leave; some don't want to go shopping for their families; some don't want to go about their ordinary daily routines because, by wearing cover, they're afraid they'll be intimidated. :: 010917

 I've invited my brother and my sister -- I want my family members to meet a good friend, a strong leader. :: 020914

 I also made it very clear that we look forward to a open dialogue with Congress and the American people about the threat, and that not only will we consult with the United States Congress -- we, being the administration -- but that my administration will fully participate in any hearings that the Congress wishes to have on this subject, on the subject about how to make America a more secure country, how to best protect the American families in our country. :: 020904

 I am encouraging school children to write letters of friendship to Muslim children in different countries. :: 011108

 I am especially grateful tonight to my family. :: 000803

 I ask you to join in a special effort to help the children of Afghanistan. :: 011000

 I ask you to live your lives and hug your children. :: 010920

 I have friends whose children suffer from juvenile diabetes. :: 010810

 I hope school classes or Boys and Girl Scout troops, other youth organizations will participate in any way to raise the money to send to the children. :: 011000

 I know how hard frequent deployments are on you and your families. :: 010725

 I know there's a lot of children in America wondering what took place. :: 011000

 I know you've put in a request, and I've directed the attorney general to expedite any payments of benefits for those fallen public safety officers, to their families -- any benefits to their families. :: 010913

 I propose a 450 million initiative to bring mentors to more than a million disadvantaged junior high students and children of prisoners. :: 030128

 I thank you for your prayers for me and my family, and I ask you pray for Vice President Gore and his family. :: 001214

 I thank you for your prayers for me and my family, and I ask you to pray for Vice President Gore and his family. :: 001213

 I think it's essential that all moms and dads and citizens tell their children we love them and there is love in the world, but also remind them there are evil people. :: 011000

 I want to help families rear and support their children, so we doubled the child credit to 1,000 per child. :: 010227

 I want to know, because I refuse to leave any child behind in America. :: 010227

 I was most proud of the fact that American children from all walks of life contributed to the America's Fund for Afghan Children. :: 020910

 I will send you a budget that increases discretionary spending by 4 percent next year, about as much as the average family's income is expected to grow. :: 030128

 I wish I could comfort every single family whose lives have been affected. :: 010913

 If you test a child on basic math and reading skills, and you are "teaching to the test," you are teaching math and reading. :: 010227

 In Afghanistan, we helped to liberate an oppressed people, and we will continue helping them secure their country, rebuild their society and educate all their children, boys and girls. :: 030128

 in that family love, many have found the sign and symbol of an even greater love, and have been touched by faith. :: 000803

 In the Amachi program, good people from more than 50 churches in this area serve as mentors to the children of prisoners. :: 021212

 In the end, every child in a bad situation must be given a better choice, because when it comes to our children, failure is not an option. :: 010227

 instead of gradually raising the child tax credit from 600 to 1,000 per child by the year of 2010, for the benefit of 26 million families, we should raise it now. :: 030107

 Instead of slowly raising the child credit to 1,000 by 2010, we should raise it now. :: 030111r

 Instead of slowly raising the child credit to 1,000, we should send the checks to American families now. :: 030128

 It is agonized over by parents and many couples as they try to have children or to save children already born. :: 010810

 It is compassionate to insist that every child learns, so that no child is left behind. :: 020430

 It is crucial to distinguish between the terrorists and ordinary Palestinians seeking to provide for their own families. :: 020404

 It pays the average family grocery bill for three months. :: 010227

 It was designed to help parents develop good character in our children, and to strengthen a spirit of citizenship and service in our communities. :: 011000

 It was such a strong statement, of children uniting to help people in need. :: 020910

 Laura and I wish the vice president and Senator Lieberman and their families the very best. :: 001213

 Let me tell you what Steven says: "2,000 a year means a lot to my family. :: 010227

 Many children there are starving and are severely malnourished. :: 011000

 Many of these dangers are unfamiliar and unsettling. :: 030215r

 May God bless the grieving families, and may God continue to bless America. :: 030201

 Measuring is the only way to know whether all our children are learning. :: 010227

 Millions of citizens spend their entire adult lives living paycheck-to-paycheck, never getting a chance to save for their children's education or their own retirement. :: 030107

 Moms and dads are not only reassessing their marriage and the importance of their marriage, but of the necessity of loving their children like never before. :: 011000

 Most of all, we must teach our children the values that defeat violence. :: 000803

 Most of us find it difficult to imagine the life of a child who has to go through a prison gate to be hugged by their mom or dad. :: 021212

 mother, everyone loves you and so do I. :: 000803

 My attitude is, government should never stand in the way of families achieving their dreams. :: 010227

 My own family has confronted the tragedy of childhood leukemia. :: 010810

 No child is a problem or a burden; every child is a priority and a blessing. :: 021212

 Not every child has two devoted parents at home - I understand that. :: 020430

 Now is the time to make Head Start an early learning program, teach all our children to read, and renew the promise of America's public schools. :: 000803

 Now, 1,600 may not sound like a lot to some, but it means a lot to many families. :: 010227

 On education … Too many American children are segregated into schools without standards, shuffled from grade-to-grade because of their age, regardless of their knowledge. :: 000803

 On principle … every family, every farmer and small businessperson, should be free to pass on their life's work to those they love. :: 000803

 On Saddam Hussein's orders, opponents have been decapitated, wives and mothers of political opponents have been systematically raped as a method of intimidation, and political prisoners have been forced to watch their own children being tortured. :: 021007

 Once a couple successfully has children, or if they are unsuccessful, the additional embryos remain frozen in laboratories. :: 010810

 One former welfare recipient here in California, happened to be a mother of a chronically-ill child and the victim of domestic violence, describes her experience upon leaving welfare. :: 020430

 One in three Afghan children is an orphan. :: 011000

 One size does not fit all when it comes to educating our children, so local people should control local schools. :: 000803

 Our budget provides more than 700 million over the next 10 years for a Federal Compassion Capital Fund with a focused and noble mission: to provide a mentor to the more than 1 million children with a parent in prison and to support other local efforts to fight illiteracy, teen pregnancy, drug addiction and other difficult problems. :: 010227

 Our enemies send other people's children on missions of suicide and murder. :: 020129

 Particularly, mentors for children whose mom or dad is in prison. :: 021212

 People of faith fought against child labor. :: 021212

 People with the smallest incomes will get the highest percentage of reductions, and millions of additional American families will be removed from the income tax rolls entirely. :: 010227

 Public schools are Americans' great hope, and making them work for every child is America's great duty. :: 020430

 Reading is the foundation of all learning, so during the next 5 years, we triple spending, adding 5 billion to help every child in America learn to read. :: 010227

 Republicans and Democrats worked together to achieve historic education reform so that no child is left behind. :: 020129

 Seven of ten fourth-graders in our highest poverty schools cannot read a simple children's book. :: 000803

 So I worked with the United States Congress to reduce income taxes for everyone who pays them -- more than 100 million individuals, families, and sole proprietorships received tax relief. :: 030107

 So many of us held our first child, and saw a better self reflected in her eyes. :: 000803

 So today I'm asking Congress to speed up three other tax reductions promised in 2001 -- tax reductions that will help our middle-income families. :: 030107

 So we improved our schools, dramatically, for children of every accent, of every background. :: 000803

 So we will lower the bottom rate from 15 percent to 10 percent and double the child tax credit. :: 000803

 So you can serve your country by tutoring or mentoring a child, comforting the afflicted, housing those in need of shelter and a home. :: 011108

 Terrorists in that country are now scattered, and the children of Afghanistan have returned to school, boys and girls. :: 020430

 thanks for having me, and I'm honored to meet your family and Uncle Jack. :: 020709

 That's a fine-looking child, fine-looking child. Little Gregory. Little Stretch. :: 020904

 that is a good benchmark for us: Federal spending should not rise any faster than the paychecks of American families. :: 030128

 The dictator of Iraq is a student of Stalin, using murder as a tool of terror and control within his own cabinet, and within his own army, and even within his own family. :: 021007

 The enormity of this tragedy has caused many Americans to focus on the things that have not changed, the things that matter most in life: our faith, our love for family and friends, our commitment to our country and to our freedoms and to our principles. :: 011108

 the evidence shows that strong marriages are good for children. :: 020430

 The families here today shared in the courage of those they loved. :: 030204

 The highest percentage increase in our budget should go to our children's education. :: 010227

 The last time we met in this chamber, the mothers and daughters of Afghanistan were captives in their own homes, forbidden from working or going to school. :: 020129

 The loss comes to the hungry who don't get fed, to the addicts who don't get help, to the children who drift toward self-destruction. :: 021212

 The loss was sudden and terrible, and for their families, the grief is heavy. :: 030204

 The tax relief already planned for later in this decade should be made effective this year, including income tax reduction, marriage penalty relief, and an increase in the child tax credit. :: 030125r

 The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children. :: 010920

 the United States will work for all the children of Abraham to know the benefits of peace. :: 020404

 The volunteers of Amachi, who are with us here today with the children they are loving, are such wonderful givers of guidance and love. :: 021212

 then there are the children who wonder if anybody loves them. :: 021212

 There are boys with no family but a gang, and teenage moms who are abandoned and alone. :: 021212

 These accounts will assist with the cost of finding work, including training and child care and moving expenses, and provide a cash bonus to workers who find a job quickly. :: 030125r

 These groups are working in every neighborhood in America to fight homelessness and addiction and domestic violence, to provide a hot meal or a mentor or a safe haven for our children. :: 010227

 These organizations, such as shelters for battered women or mentoring programs for fatherless children or drug treatment centers, inspire hope in a way that government never can. :: 020430

 these witnesses must be free to bring their families with them, so they are all beyond the reach of Saddam Hussein's terror and murder. :: 021007

 They are the product of a process called in vitro fertilization which helps so many couples conceive children. :: 010810

 They face terrible challenges that no child deserves to face. :: 021212

 They take children of every background, from every part of the world, and prepare them for the obligations and opportunities of a free society. :: 020430

 This comprehensive plan will prevent 7 million new AIDS infections, treat at least 2 million people with life-extending drugs and provide humane care for millions of people suffering from AIDS and for children orphaned by AIDS. :: 030128

 This comprehensive plan will prevent 7 million new AIDS infections, treat at least 2 million people with life-extending drugs, and provide humane care for millions of people suffering from AIDS and for children orphaned by AIDS. :: 030201r

 This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens -- leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children. :: 020129

 This is an opportunity to help others, while teaching our own children a valuable lesson about service and character. :: 011000

 This threat is new; America's duty is familiar. :: 030128

 This will mean a higher return on your money, and, over 30 or 40 years, a nest egg to help your retirement, or pass along to your children. :: 000803

 Those governments, like Iraq, that reward parents for the sacrifice of their children are guilty of soliciting murder of the worst kind. :: 020404

 Those who battle their own fears to keep children calm and safe: America's teachers. :: 011108

 those who celebrate the murder of innocent men, women and children have no religion, have no conscience and have no mercy. :: 011108

 To every child, a chance to learn. :: 000803

 To every family, a chance to live with dignity and hope. :: 000803

 To lift the standards of our public schools, we achieved historic education reform which must now be carried out in every school and in every classroom so that every child in American can read and learn and succeed in life. :: 030128

 To the children and parents and spouses and families and friends of the lost, we offer the deepest sympathy of the nation. :: 010914

 to the children who miss your Mom or Dad so much today, you need to know, they love you, and that love will always be with you. :: 030204

 Today in Africa, nearly 30 million people have the AIDS virus, including 3 million children under the age of 15. :: 030201r

 Today, on the continent of Africa, nearly 30 million people have the AIDS virus, including 3 million children under the age of 15. :: 030128

 together we will create an America that is open, so every citizen has access to the American dream; an America that is educated, so every child has the keys to realize that dream; and an America that is united in our diversity and our shared American values that are larger than race or party. :: 001214

 together we will create and America that is open, so every citizen has access to the American dream; an America that is educated, so every child has the keys to realize that dream; and an America that is united in our diversity and our shared American values that are larger than race or party. :: 001213

 Together, we will work to make all our public schools excellent, teaching every student of every background and every accent, so that no child is left behind. :: 001213

 Together, we will work to make all our public schools excellent, teaching every student of every background and every accent, so that no child is left behind. :: 001214

 Tonight I ask Congress and the American people to focus the spirit of service and the resources of government on the needs of some of our most vulnerable citizens: boys and girls trying to grow up without guidance and attention, and children who have to go through a prison gate to be hugged by their mom or dad. :: 030128

 Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. :: 010911

 Tonight, many thousands of children are tragically learning to live without one of their parents. :: 011108

 Under my budget, discretionary federal spending will rise by 4 percent, about the same as the increase in family incomes. :: 030125r

 Values are important, so we triple funding for character education to teach our children not only reading and writing, but right from wrong. :: 010227

 We're encouraging individuals and communities and families to take more and more responsibility for themselves, for their neighbors, for our nation. :: 020430

 We've seen it as Americans have reassessed priorities: parents spending more time with their children and many people spending more time in prayer and in houses of worship. :: 011108

 We've seen it in our children who have sent in more than 1 million for the children of Afghanistan. :: 011108

 We also know that middle-income families need additional relief. :: 030107

 We are asking every child in America to earn or give a dollar that will be used to provide food and medical help for the children of Afghanistan. :: 011000

 We are facing something familiar, but they are facing something new. :: 000803

 We must give our children a spirit of moral courage, because their character is our destiny. :: 000803

 We must help protect our children, in our schools and streets, by finally and strictly enforcing our nation's gun laws. :: 000803

 We must rid the world of terrorists so our children and grandchildren can grow up in freedom. :: 011000

 We need mentors to love children, especially children whose parents are in prison. :: 020129

 We need to move forward based on sound science to bring these benefits to the 800 million people, including 300 million children who still suffer from hunger and malnutrition. :: 010717

 We need to prepare our children to read and succeed in school with improved Head Start and early childhood development programs. :: 020129

 We owe it to our children and grandchildren to act now, and I hope you will join me to pay down 2 trillion in debt during the next 10 years. :: 010227

 We shared similar emotions, so I understand how difficult this moment must be for Vice President Gore and his family. :: 001213

 We should approach our Nation's budget as any prudent family would, with a contingency fund for emergencies or additional spending needs. :: 010227

 We will confront the hard issues — threats to our national security, threats to our health and retirement security — before the challenges of our time become crises for our children. :: 000803

 We will not forget South Korean children gathering to pray outside our embassy in Seoul, or the prayers of sympathy offered at a mosque in Cairo. :: 010920

 We will renew the hope of welfare reform and support the faith-based and community groups who bring hope and healing to children who need mentors and men and women who struggle with drug addiction. :: 030201r

 We will transform today's housing rental program to help hundreds of thousands of low-income families find stability and dignity in a home of their own. :: 000803

 Welfare reform must also, wherever possible, encourage the commitments of family. :: 020430

 When a school district receives federal funds to teach poor children, we expect them to learn. :: 000803

 When doctors match sperm and egg to create life outside the womb, they usually produce more embryos than are implanted in the mother. :: 010810

 When schools are teaching, when families are strong, when neighbors look after their neighbors, when our people have the tools and the skills and the resources they need to improve their lives, there is no problem that cannot be solved in America. :: 020430

 when the moment for leadership came, this administration did not teach our children, it disillusioned them. :: 000803

 When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women, and children. :: 021007

 Winter is coming, and by acting today we can help the children survive. :: 011000

 With a new national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom, so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free. :: 030128

 With us tonight, representing many American families, are Steven and Josefina Ramos. :: 010227

 Wives are tortured in front of their husbands, children in the presence of their parents -- and all of these horrors concealed from the world by the apparatus of a totalitarian state. :: 020912

 Yet we share the same belief that every person in need is a worthy child of God. :: 021212

 You can send your dollar in an envelope, marked "America's Fund for Afghan Children," right here to the White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. :: 011000

 You can support our troops in the field and, just as importantly, support their families here at home by becoming active in the USO or groups in communities near our military installations. :: 011108

 You deserve a life of hope for your children. :: 020624
