Reagan on America

“The success story of America is neighbor helping neighbor.”

April 29, 1982

“Time and again the American people -- you -- have worked wonders that have astounded the world. We've done it in war and peace, in good times and bad, because we're a people who care and who know how to pull together -- family by family, community by community, coast to coast -- to change things for the better. The success story of America is neighbor helping neighbor. So, tonight I ask for your help, your voice, at this turning point.”

— Address to the Nation on the Fiscal Year 1983 Federal Budget
