1

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

WHEREAS, President Ronald Wilson Reagan, a man of humble	2
background, worked throughout his life serving freedom and	3
advancing the public good, having been employed as an entertainer,	4
union leader, corporate spokesman, Governor of California, and	5
President of the United States; and	6

WHEREAS, President Reagan served with honor and distinction	7
for two terms as the 40th President of the United States of	8
America. In his second presidential election, he earned the	9
confidence of three-fifths of the electorate and was victorious in	10
49 of the 50 states, a record unsurpassed in the history of	11
American presidential elections; and	12

WHEREAS, In 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated	13
President, he inherited a disillusioned nation shackled by rampant	14
inflation and high unemployment; and	15

WHEREAS, During his presidency, he worked in a bipartisan	16
manner to enact his bold agenda of restoring accountability and	17
common sense to government, which led to an unprecedented economic	18
expansion and opportunity for millions of Americans; and	19

WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to an active social	20
policy agenda for the nation's children helped lower crime and	21
drug use in our neighborhoods; and	22

WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to our armed forces	23
contributed to the restoration of pride in America, strengthened	24
the country's values and those cherished by the free world, and	25
prepared America's armed forces to meet the challenges of the 21st	26
century; and	27

WHEREAS, Additionally his vision of "peace through strength"	28
led to the end of the Cold War and the ultimate demise of the	29
Soviet Union, guaranteeing basic human rights for millions of	30
people; and	31

WHEREAS, February 6, 2011, is the 100th anniversary of Ronald	32
Reagan's birth and the seventh since his passing; therefore be it	33

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 129th	34
General Assembly of Ohio, recognize February 6, 2011, as Ronald	35
Reagan Day in Ohio and encourage all Ohioans to participate in its	36
observance; and be it further	37

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly	38
authenticated copies of this Resolution to the news media of Ohio.	39
