Reagan on Welfare, Democracy, and America

“And to you, my fellow citizens, let us join in a new determination to rebuild the foundation of our society, to work together, to act responsibly.”

February 5, 1981

“And to you, my fellow citizens, let us join in a new determination to rebuild the foundation of our society, to work together, to act responsibly. Let us do so with the most profound respect for that which must be preserved as well as with sensitive understanding and compassion for those who must be protected.”
