The bus tour includes stops in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

"My agenda will improve public schools, make quality health care accessible and affordable, and increase the possibility of curing life threatening diseases like breast cancer," said Governor Bush. "I am honored these women who are so important in my life are going to talk to the women of America about these important issues."

Education, health care, increasing personal safety, and economic security are issues that Governor Bush has put at the top of his agenda, particularly during his terms as Governor. The women involved in this tour will discuss how Governor Bush has brought people together to make the lives of women in Texas better and what the future holds for all women under a President Bush.
