| Description: | Excellent excerpt from "A Time For Choosing" (1964, B&W): RONALD REAGAN rallies against the Democratic platform is the crux of the national election of that year. "If we loose freedom here, there is no place to escape to; this is the last stand on earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that has no other source of power except the sovereign people is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history with man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this election, whether we believe in our capacity for self government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that little intellectual elite, in a far distant Capital, can plan our lives for us, better than we can plan ourselves." | |
