Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the legacy of President Ronald Reagan on his birthday. Some have called him Ronnie, the Gipper, or the Great Communicator. No matter what you call him, he was the right President for this country at the right time. President Reagan came into office with the world still in crisis over the Cold War and a country under the crushing weight of stagflation. By the time President Reagan left office, the economy roared and Reagan's words had inflicted a mortal blow to the Berlin Wall. Shortly after leaving office, the Berlin Wall fell and the threat of communism along with it. President Reagan led this country with conviction. His conservative principles empowered millions of people from coast-to-coast and across the world. His words struck fear into the hearts of our enemies and warmed the hearts of our friends. We have a lot to learn from President Reagan's life, his legacy, and his leadership. ____________________”
