President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, along with First Lady Laura Bush, closed out the second quarter of 2003 campaign fundraising this week by raising $34 million toward the Bush-Cheney 2004 reelection effort.

"We're laying the groundwork for what is going to be a victory in November of 2004," Bush told a jubilant Miami crowd on June 30. The Miami speech ended a six-week campaign blitz that took him to several cities across the country, including the traditionally liberal bastions of New York City and San Francisco.
