The elder Bushes, George and Barbara, are often seen in restaurants in Houston and at the Astros’ ball games. Barbara has also been seen at the grocery store. Usually people leave them alone and let them enjoy their meals or get their shopping completed.

It is usually 20% that do all the giving

That was always our experience. Even with that, we normally had really good results in the actual amount of food we collected.

Scouting is still one of the best things America has going for it (kids and adults alike)!

George and Laura are genuinely nice people and great Americans. I had my problems with him during the time he was in office and wish he had done some things differently, but there is no question in my mind that he did absolutely the best he could.

Thanks Mr. President.

Saying that a homosexual is queer is a totally factual statement. They even call themselves queers, strangely enough.

Gee I wonder how much scouts would collect at the homes of Al Gore, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid?

Our council had their best year ever. And me and my boys got to do the background for the news story encouraging people to give.

Americans like and support Boy Scouts.

Saturday, Mr. Bush was there at Elliot’s Hardware on Maple Street.... If I hadn’t been in a rush to meet Mylife ( Freeper ) at a certain gun range, I would have hauled my ass up there to meet the man I respect and love ( in a manly way )....

Now that He is back at his chosen home, I am looking forward to at least catching a glimpse of him, if not looking him in the eye and saying, “ Thank You! “

Congratulations and keep up the good work! Mrs. Hun and I were active in Scouts for 11 years, and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. The best part was watching the boys grow and learn responsibility....
