***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
Relating to: recognizing February 6 as Ronald Reagan Day in the state of

been employed as an entertainer, union leader, corporate spokesman, governor of
California, and President of the United States; and
Whereas, Ronald Reagan served with honor and distinction for 2 terms as the
40th President of the United States of America; the 2nd of which he earned the
confidence of three-fifths of the electorate and was victorious in 49 of the 50 states
in the general election — a record unsurpassed in the history of American
presidential elections; and
Whereas, in 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated President, he
inherited a disillusioned nation shackled by rampant inflation and high

nation's children helped lower crime and drug use in America's neighborhoods; and
Whereas, President Reagan's commitment to the armed forces contributed to
the restoration of pride in America, her values and those cherished by the free world,
and prepared America's armed forces to win the Gulf War; and
Whereas, President Reagan's vision of “peace through strength" led to the end
of the Cold War and the ultimate demise of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing basic
human rights for millions of people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, That the Wisconsin State Assembly hereby
