John Kerry on the Death of Ronald Reagan6/5/2004 6:24:00 PMhttp://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRel ... 06052004To: National Desk, Political ReporterContact: Allison Dobson of John Kerry for President, 202-464-2800BOSTON, June 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Sen. John Kerry released the following statement today, on the death of Ronald Reagan:"Ronald Reagan's love of country was infectious. Even when he was breaking Democrats hearts, he did so with a smile and in the spirit of honest and open debate. Despite the disagreements, he lived by that noble ideal that at 5pm we weren't Democrats or Republicans, we were Americans and friends. President Reagan and Tip O'Neill fought hard and honorably on many issues, and sat down together to happily swap jokes and the stories of their lives. The differences were real, but because of the way President Reagan led, he taught us that there is a big difference between strong beliefs and bitter partisanship."He was the voice of America in good times and in grief. When we lost the brave astronauts in the Challenger tragedy, he reminded us that, 'Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue.'"Now, his own journey has ended-a long and storied trip that spanned most of the American century-and shaped one of the greatest victories of freedom. Today in the face of new challenges, his example reminds us that we must move forward with optimism and resolve. He was our oldest president, but he made America young again."Our prayers are with his family, and the wife he loved in a way all the world could see. And to the end, she loved him with courage and complete devotion. She helped all of us better understand the cruel disease that took him away before it took his life, and what we must do to prevent and cure it."Teresa and I and our family extend our deepest sympathies to Nancy Reagan and the Reagan family. Today, from California to Maine -- 'from sea to shining sea' -- Americans will bow their heads in prayer and gratitude that President Reagan left such an indelible stamp on the nation he loved."------Paid for by John Kerry for President, Inc. http://www.usnewswire.com/-0-/© 2004 U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/
