ONE FOR THE GIPPER

25 years ago today, our Nation woke up from the nightmare of the Carter administration. Carter would leave Washington to build houses; Reagan would start rebuilding America.

Pride in America was replaced by "malaise," and we looked to Reagan for the leadership that would bring that pride back. He made us proud, and more.

In 1981, we found ourselves in a bad place. Today, we find ourselves in a similar place, if not worse. In 2008, America will again be looking for a man of strong leadership abilities--a man like Ronald Reagan.

Here's to you, Mr. President.
