Christmas is a time of happiness and cheer, a time of peace and good will and glad tidings.
United Way gives that help very well indeed, and truly exemplifies our spirit of voluntarism.
The only thing produced in abundance by Marxism-Leninism has been deprivation and tyranny.
It is most fitting that we Americans recognize and commend all the good United Way has done and continues to do.
A government which does not respect the rights of its own people and laws is unlikely to respect those of its neighbors.
Every individual is endowed by nature and nature's God with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I hereby proclaim heartfelt thanks to a century of Americans who have shaped and supported United Way.
Governments that do not respect the rights of their own citizens are a threat to their neighbors as well.
Today we renew our allegiance to those human rights which all free men cherish and which we Americans, in particular, hold so dear.
