Quote

It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history . . . . [It is] the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history, as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people.

I am told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day for that I am deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free.
