Gov. Bush Receives Endorsement
Of Nation's Largest Police Group
|
"...Governor Bush will be a President who will do
what he says and will do right by the cop on the beat..." |
|
-- FOP National President Gilbert Gallegos |
FOP National President Gilbert Gallegos said, "The
FOP believes that Governor Bush will be a President who will do
what he says and will do right by the cop on the beat. [He shares
FOP's] values and shares an unyielding commitment to supporting
law enforcement with action and not just words. I believe that
George W. Bush is a man who has demonstrated integrity,
sincerity, and a genuine commitment to the rule of law."
The
announcement mentioned several FOP-supported anti-crime programs
and policies implemented by Bush since he was elected Governor of
Texas, including the NRA-supported "Project Exile" prosecution
model, which Bush implemented statewide under the name Texas
Exile. Programs like Texas Exile, which call for the aggressive
prosecution of violent felons caught with firearms, have been
credited with helping to lower overall crime in Texas by 14%,
violent crime by 20%, and violent juvenile crime by 44%.
