Joseph T. Burns said "once or twice a century we are given a President who stands above the rest. President Reagan was such a leader. He united this country in a way that we have not been united since. He did so by simply speaking out for what the vast majority of the people of this country knew to be the truth: President Reagan declared that there is a God and that we, as a Nation, are under his authority. Like President Washington before him, he made no apology to anyone's sensibilities. He called the Evil Empire of communism exactly what it was and committed this Nation to defeating it. He was the first President to begin the battle to reverse the overreach of Federal bureaucracy in the lives of our citizens. Let us truly honor the memory of Ronald Reagan by never ending the fight he so nobly waged for God and for country." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
