Today, the National Troopers Coalition (NTC) with its
46,000 members announced their endorsement of
President George W. Bush. The National Troopers
Coalition comprised of State Police Troopers and
Highway Patrol Officers from across our nation,
unanimously voted to endorse the President at its
national meeting in Galveston, Texas earlier this
year.
"The National Troopers Coalition is proud to stand
with President Bush and offer its endorsement today.
The President's commitment to family values, education
and community affairs is the right recipe for reducing
crime in America." said NTC Chairman Casey Perry.
"President Bush is not just talking the talk, he is
walking the walk. He has distributed more than $11
billion since 2001 to state and local law enforcement
for use in counter-terrorism preparedness efforts,
established the Department of Homeland Security and
acted to pass the Patriot Act."
NTC Chairman Perry continued "Troopers and local law
enforcement are the nations' first line of defense
against domestic terrorism and we applaud the
President's leadership by encouraging Congress to act
in passing historic legislation for qualified active
and retired law enforcement officers to carry
concealed firearms throughout the United States. We
stand with President Bush today to ensure a safer
United States of America."
Troopers from across the country joined President Bush
in Racine, Wisconsin at Pershing Park. The President
graciously accepted this endorsement and reiterated
his commitment to Troopers across this country to
Chairman Perry. This endorsement marks the second time
the NTC endorsed the President, having endorsed him in
the 2000 election against Vice President Al Gore.
