“this week our Nation lost an individual who had an enormous impact on our country and the world. Ronald Wilson Reagan, our Nation's 40th President, had a great and positive impact on our economy, our security, and our national pride. I believe that just as his achievements will remain with us for many decades, so too will his legacy of exercising sincerity and consistency in all actions, both inconsequential and monumental. President Reagan was an ordinary man who became an extraordinary leader. I will remember him most for his sense of optimism and hope. In the most difficult of times, it was President Reagan who had the power to allay our worries, raise our spirits, and guide this Nation to prosperity. Working on Ronald Reagan's first campaign in Jacksonville in 1980, I saw first hand his strength of character and his sense of optimism and hope. Ronald Reagan lifted this Nation up at the time when we needed it the most. He made us feel good about being American. Ronald W. Reagan knew who he was and he knew what he believed. These are the qualities of a great leader. President Reagan's strength of character and firm beliefs led to revolutionary policies in dealing with the economy, national security, and federal taxation.”
