Ronald Reagan

Our North Star was freedom, and common sense our constellations.

It's a little like coming up to that last football game and realizing that you've had all 4 years, and that's the last one you're going to play in.

Don't pay any attention to the polls.

I've always felt that discussing the political ramifications of a measure as to whether it's good or bad for the people isn't the thing to do.

The American people don't want his tax increases, and they're not going to get his tax increases.

Number one of all, of course, is peace—disarmament and the reduction in the world of nuclear weapons.

Our nation will be strong because our people will be free.

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

If we're going to build on the gains that we've made, we'll need Chuck Percy back there to help us do it.

A vote for the Mondale-Simon ticket is a vote to go back to failed policies which gave us higher taxes, higher prices, and a weaker America.

We have no plans whatsoever, nor any desire, to put forces into Latin America.

Believe me, we couldn't have accomplished all we have without strong Republican leaders like Chuck Percy.

What America needs is high-tech, not high taxes.

And if we make sure that America remains strong and prepared for peace, then we can begin to reduce nuclear weapons and one day banish them entirely from the face of the Earth.

You're not alone. We're asking you to come and walk with us down that path of hope and opportunity.

America is back, a giant on the scene, powerful in its renewed spirit.

We will never be a second-best nation.

Here the people are in charge.

I don't see why the Government should be giving people money and then go through the expensive process of taking some of it away from them again.

If lowering your tax rates could create those 6 million jobs, new jobs in 21 months, then we can make it possible for every American to keep growing, right into the 21st century.

Those problems were the result of 21 1/2-percent interest rates, of double-digit inflation for 2 years in a row, and of a very ill-advised grain embargo.

That's what we came here to talk to you about.

We're here to let the people of this great State know how much we care.

America needs high tech, not high taxes.

Give American workers the right tools, and they will outproduce, outcompete, and outsell any other workers in the world.
