FROM PRESIDENT REAGAN'S FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS
RONALD REAGAN. Typed Quotation signed: "Ronald
Reagan", 1p, 8½x11. In full: "We are a nation that has a
government - not the other way around. And that makes us special among nations
of the earth." Caption: "Inaugural Address,/January 20, 1981".
From Reagan's first inaugural address, in part: "So, as we begin, let us take
inventory. We are a nation that has a government - not the other way around.
And this makes us special among the nations of the earth. Our government has
no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse
the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent
of the governed. It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the
federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the
powers granted to the federal government and those reserved to the states or to
the people. All of use need to be reminded that the federal government did not
create the states; the states created the federal government...." Ronald Reagan
(1911-2004) had two careers: actor and politician. His first movie
was Love is on the Air (1937) and his 53rd and last film was The
Killers (1964). In 1965, he wrote his autobiography, Where's the Rest
of Me?, a line from his role as Drake McHugh in King's Row
(1942). Reagan left his job hosting television's Death Valley Days
during the 1965-1966 season, when he entered politics. Elected Governor of
California in 1966, he was reelected in 1970. Reagan began his campaign for
the presidency and narrowly lost the 1976 Republican nomination to Gerald
Ford. He was elected President in 1980 and was reelected in 1984. After
leaving office in 1989, he wrote his second autobiography, An American
Life. On February 6, 2001, Reagan became just the third U.S. President
to reach the age of 90 and the nation's longest living President until Gerald Ford (d. 2006) lived 45 days longer.
