As I look around America, I find myself back in 1979. Our economy is falling apart. Government is running up massive deficits. Our place in the world is diminishing. But now is not the time to succumb to the failed idea that government is the answer. No, now is the time for all of us to recommit ourselves to the principals that once saved this country, and can do it again. A commitment to Conservative Principals.
America has lost its way, but the American spirit has not vanished. At the time of our last great despair a leader came forth. Some called him nothing more than a former B-actor; they underestimated his love for our country, and the keen insight he possessed, and his ability to delivery, that would help make America into that “bright, shining city on a hill.”
This Saturday will mark what would have been Ronald Regan’s 99th birthday. The best gift we can give him is to remember how great we were as a nation when he was our President; and how we can move forward by returning to those key principals. Let’s us declare February 6, 2010, a new beginning, a “Reagan Renaissance.”
I encourage everyone to:
Read Ronald Regan’s 1977 CPAC speech ( Ronald Reagan's 1977 CPAC Speech)
View his greatest speech – A Time for Choosing (A Time for Choosing)
View his farewell address to America (Ronald Reagan's Farewell Address )
