Governor Ronald Reagan of California, January 1968
My friends, I believe the time of choosing is now. We need someone in the government who believes in the ideals of America: Freedom, peace, and liberty of the individual. We need to stand up against Communism in Vietnam and the world that threatens our ways of living in our country, and we need someone who believes in the full creative potential of the American individual and the American people. That's why I'm running for President of the United States.
