The following is actual text of speakers from day 1, which was an abbreviated session due to Hurricane Gustav. Because of the critical situation that existed in New Orleans, President Bush and Vice President Richard Chaney have decided not to attend the first day of the convention, but instead have decided to help with the relief efforts from the State of Texas. Read the transcript that includes the remarks by First Lady Laura Bush and Mrs. Cindy McCain on Day 1 of the Republican National Convention. All of the formalities that had to be addressed on day one were addressed.
Day 2 of the convention will be full of activities, as it will get back on track with a full schedule of events to occur during the convention.
