“This past weekend, America came together to honor the 100th birthday of President Ronald Reagan. President Reagan believed that personal accountability and hard work are the cornerstones of the American Dream. He understood America's greatness and its exceptionalism. No American will ever forget how he touted America as a shining city on a hill and ``built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace.'' In these troubling economic times, we would be wise to follow Reagan's lessons that limited government, low taxes, and free enterprise foster economic growth and job creation. Reagan knew that freedom was America's greatest export to the world, whether it was promoting freedom overseas against a Communist threat or at home through free markets. President Reagan left an unparalleled legacy to his country, and we honor his extraordinary life on what would have been his 100th birthday.”
