Jeb Bush makes a major donation to slain NYPD officers, a stark contrast to the critical left

More than two weeks after former Florida governor Jeb Bush announced on social media that he was exploring a bid to run for president in 2016, he has taken a very clear and important step.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Bush has resigned from all of his board memberships, clearing all conflicts from his path towards a 2016 presidency, and stepping down from his last board on December 31.

In a much more provocative move, Bush and his wife donated $10,000 to a charity that was fundraising money to help the families of two NYPD police officers who were murdered in December. This stands as a staunch move of support for police and a very direct attack against the liberal left, and especially New York's current mayor, Bill de Blasio, both of whom have been critics of police officers in light of numerous incidents from 2014.

The charity, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, is attempting to raise $800,000 to buy the family homes of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos.

Physical, spiritual and mental health is the key to a happy and prosperous life.

Bush is seen as an early favorite for the Republican party, and a likely frontrunner during the 2016 election. As of yet it is unclear if his familial relationship with two former presidents will be of assistance or hindrance to his campaign.

Bush has taken an early lead among potential 2016 Republican candidates, though a run by Mitt Romney would be favored by double digits. However, Bush is not likely to win over Hillary Clinton, if she runs as the Democrat's nominee.
