Renaldus Magnus

His greatest quality and what we, as a nation, needed most was his optimism. His belief that the people, not the government, made this country great.

The situation leading up to his election...the Carter malaise, the inflation rate (13%), mortgage rates as high as 22%, the impotence we felt as a nation...made him the only one who could lead us away from self destruction.

Today we face similar forces...we are on the verge of socialism, we are divided one against the other, the foundations of American culture are under fire...from within.

This up coming presidential election, as much as the 1980 election, is one of the most important in our history.

I know we can be brought down because of intrusive government that kills the American spirit...but, I believe we can overcome our dependence on government, reduce the size and influence of the government, re-learn personal responsibility and re-gain personal freedom.

I would rather suffer the consequences of a Conservative?s error, than suffer the consequences of a Socialist's intent.
