Their religion forbids holding political office or engaging in
campaigns, but does not forbid voting. But as pacifists, Amish
typically think it's "inconsistent to turn around and vote for
commander-in-chief," he said.

?One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie,?
Stoltzfus said. ?Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as
presidents arenīt supposed to eat untested food.?
At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, ?I trust
God speaks through me. Without that, I couldnīt do my job.?
