It was dubbed simply, "THE SPEECH."

In the second position, in black & white, is the speech that put Ronald Reagan on the path to the governership of CA, & eventually the White House. It was one of those perfect moments in history when the aspirations, values and principles of a nation found its perfect orator & representative. If you want to know what "Reagan conservatism" is, it's all there.

Also, there is a link within the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank he was routinely affiliated and which thrives to this day) that has a page dedicated to "What would Reagan do?" It attempts to answer these questions in the vein of what problems we face today throyugh his words and actions.

You should particularly like Margaret Thatcher's speech on Reagan, and his address to the British Parliment, a great resource .... I get chills listening to it.

He never gave a better speech than his 1st Inaugural... period.

"We have every right to dream heroic dreams!"

Hard to imagine words more needed by America then those...
