Reagan on Democracy

“We give our permission to government to do the things that it does.”

February 5, 1981

“We give our permission to government to do the things that it does. And that's the whole story of the difference -- why we're unique in the world and why no matter what our troubles may be, we're going to overcome all of those troubles -- and with your help and support, because it's an ongoing process.”
