Ronald Wilson Reagan
In 1980 we had a Democratic president who was in many ways a strong Christain man, but who did not bring to foreign affairs the will and energy to
keep the Soviet Union from growing too strong and repressive. The Republicans that year chose former California governor Ronald Reagan to take on the Democratic president, even though many people did not think that he could win in the end.
It was my pleasure to hear Ronald Reagan speak in person in Baltimore that Fall, during the campaign, and it made a great impression on me and on all who heard it, I am sure. He seemed to gain a great deal on the president in the closing days of the campaign, and on election day he nearly swept every state in the Union, and brought in the first GOP senate in decades. He was a good president and a good Christian leader in my opinion, who did not pretend to be perfect, but did a wonderful job for us all. May another great Republican leader once again come to the White House to bring back our values, and hopefully the smile of the Lord to the land.
