Congressman Diaz-Balart Praises Bush's State of the Union Speech

WASHINGTON—Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) today praised President Bush's State of the Union address and released the following statement:

"As President Bush made clear tonight, freedom is a priceless right. Whether it is in the form of joyous new voters in Afghanistan and Iraq or in the form of financial freedom here at home through responsible Social Security reform and tax reform, freedom must be promoted and defended.

"The President has long said that he ‘came to Washington to solve problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations.' Thankfully, President Bush has made it clear that he has no intention of veering from that vow.

"I share President Bush's bedrock embrace of freedom and his desire to create an ‘ownership society.' I look forward to working with President Bush on policies that will enhance liberty and make the American dream a reality for more people."
