Ronald Reagan knew the answer in solving our problems lye with the American people. He also knew, The founders never intended for us to rely on Govt for solutions to our problems. Ronald Reagan knew that all to well. First of all, Govt doesn’t have any solutions, they are one of our problems to solve. Today, there is a very elongated extensive trail of wreckage on our path right behind us.

Never forget America the strength you posses, the power you possess to yield Govt expansion, and the unbridled sheer freedom that you are in control of, your inalienable right from God, not from Govt. Remember my fellow patriots, your ancestors fought the King of England, one of the most powerful Rulers/Govts in that 18th century, and in the end sent his royal ass back where it belonged.

Time after time again we turn to Govt to solve our problems, i.e. recently turning to SCOTUS to decide if GAYS have special rights, or turning to Govt to solve our educational problems. Another one is we’ve turned the presidency into an economic head quarters. America voted in Obama to fix the economy, really!

However, notwithstanding; as you’ll see below Ronald Reagan believed we had the tools, the resources, the sheer true grit of recycling the wreckage behind us, and the tenacious wherewithal coupled with our industrious ingenuity to rebuild a new America. The history of the 19th & 20th centuries prove that beyond a shadow of doubt. Obama & Hillary have no track record, but clearly the American people have one hell of a track record. We most certainly can do that again, rebuild our America, the one our ancestors left for us to watch over.

January 11, 1989 — Ronald Reagan’s farewell address to the nation

“I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life…. And how stands the city on this winter night? … After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true to the granite ridge, and her glow has held no matter what storm. And she’s still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.”

Never forget America the strength you posses, no tolerance for capitulation, the unbridled sheer freedom that you are in control of, your inalienable right from God, not from Govt.

Remember my fellow patriots, your ancestors fought the King of England, one of the most powerful Rulers/Govts in 18th century, and in the end they kicked his arrogant ass back across the seas.

The founders were in fact our relatives; merchants, farmers, business people, regular every day folks, just their decedents. We are no different than those brave men & women who won our independence both on the battlefront and the domestic front. Ok, we have smart phones today, but I assure you this, we have more tools & resources available to us than they could ever imagine. We must find a way to set America back on the right course of unlimited freedom before we perish, or independence will perish for sure………

June 1952 — From a commencement address at Williams Woods College, one of the oldest surviving speeches of Reagan’s

“I, in my own mind, have always thought of America as a place in the divine scheme of things that was set aside as a promised land. It was set here and the price of admission was very simple: the means of selection was very simple as to how this land should be populated. Any place in the world and any person from those places; any person with the courage, with the desire to tear up their roots, to strive for freedom, to attempt and dare to live in a strange and foreign place, to travel halfway across the world was welcome here.”

October 27, 1964 — from “The Speech”

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”

March 31, 1976 — from his “To Restore America” speech, which included one of many references to his experiences during the Depression

“No one who lived through the Great Depression can ever look upon an unemployed person with anything but compassion. To me, there is no greater tragedy than a breadwinner willing to work, with a job skill but unable to find a market for that job skill. Back in those dark depression days I saw my father on a Christmas eve open what he thought was a Christmas greeting from his boss. Instead, it was the blue slip telling him he no longer had a job. The memory of him sitting there holding that slip of paper and then saying in a half whisper, ‘That’s quite a Christmas present,’ it will stay with me as long as I live.

1980 — during the 1980 presidential campaign

“A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.”

July 17, 1980 — from his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention

“[The Democrats] say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith.… My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.”

January 20, 1981 — from his first inaugural address

“It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work — work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. This Administration’s objective will be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy. ”

Summer 1981

“I hope the people on Wall Street will pay attention to the people on Main Street. If they do, they will see there is a rising tide of confidence in the future of America.”

February 4, 1986 — from the State of the Union Address

“Government growing beyond our consent had become a lumbering giant, slamming shut the gates of opportunity, threatening to crush the very roots of our freedom. What brought America back? The American people brought us back — with quiet courage and common sense; with undying faith that in this nation under God the future will be ours, for the future belongs to the free.”
