Many lives have been affected by this hurricane, and I know you join me in sending our payers to those people looking for solace and help.

I cannot emphasize enough to the folks that live in the Florida Keys a hurricane is coming, and a hurricane is a hurricane and it has deadly force winds,

While we essentially hurry up and wait for Hurricane Wilma, Florida should take advantage of the slow pace and use this time to stock up on supplies and prepare.

Whether or not this hurricane hits shore in Florida, we're going to have storm surges in the coastal areas. We're going to have high winds, hurricane force winds in some cases. People should not be complacent about this.

I also want to encourage anybody who was affected by Hurricane Corina to make sure their children are in school.

But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives.
