KATHERINE HARRIS

Certainly I had my preference, and I very much hoped that George W. Bush would be our next president.

I believe that George Bush won the election through the vote of the people and the way our republic is set up. All we did was follow the law in the Department of State.

As long as I do a good job, I believe the future is going to take care of itself, but actually I like very much being in elected office and there is no consideration about doing anything different until I can be assured that we are going to have the best voting systems in the country.

This is about Floridians saying what's most important to them and making sure that we create an agenda that we can drive and deliver back in Washington, D.C. So it's very exciting.

Win back America for God.

I followed the law. Before God, before the law, before the people of the state of Florida who elected me, I know that I followed the law.

The appearance doesn't matter as much as the content.

We have to have the faithful in government.

You know, this is not about endorsements in the primary. We have to get through a primary first.

God is the one who chooses our rulers.

Well, you know, what's so exciting, is that it was a really telling campaign as well. Whenever we start looking at the differences, they could never be more clear.

No partisan political activity transpired in my office during the recount period.

We're not going to pay attention to the silliness and the petty comments. And quite frankly, women have joined me in this effort, and so it's not about appearances. It's about effectiveness.

We have to have the faithful in government.

I am a bit biased. I co-chair the campaign effort of George W. Bush.

So when we start talking about the state and all those that are so important and engaged and supportive around Florida, we've gotten overwhelming support, and it's so exciting.

The appearance doesn't matter as much as the content.

I followed the law. Before God, before the law, before the people of the state of Florida who elected me, I know that I followed the law.

Everyone has said very supportive things coming out of D.C. today. We can't wait when the race has begun.

If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin.

If Al Gore had allowed us and if the Florida Supreme Court had not intervened and rewritten the law, which they're not supposed to do, we could have certified, which is a mere procedural action, and then after that, they could have petitioned any justice for a recount statewide with uniform standards.

God is the one who chooses our rulers.

And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren’t involved in helping godly men in getting elected than we’re going to have a nation of secular laws. That’s not what our founding fathers intended and that’s certainly isn’t what God intended.

If you are not electing Christians, you are voting to legislate sin.

Win back America for God.

The Bible says we are to be salt and light. And salt and light means not just in the church and not just as a teacher or as a pastor or a banker or a lawyer, but in government and we have to have elected officials in government and we have to have the faithful in government and over time, that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers.

They can say that abortion is alright. They can vote to sustain gay marriage. And that will take western civilization, indeed other nations because people look to our country as one nation as under God and whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don't know better, we are leading them astray and it's wrong.
