Senate Declares 'Ronald Reagan Day' In State

One of the first Senate votes for the 2008 Legislative Session honored President Ronald Reagan and declared February 6, 2008 “Ronald Reagan Day,” in Oklahoma.

The resolution reads that Ronald Reagan was “a man of humble background, and worked throughout his life serving freedom and advancing the public good.” In addition, “Reagan served with honor and distinction for two terms as the fortieth President of the United States of America, the second of which earned him the confidence of three-fifths of the electorate and victory in forty-nine of the fifty states in the general election—a record unsurpassed in the history of American presidential elections.”

“Ronald Reagan was a visionary leader who loved his country and helped spread freedom around the globe. He was one of our nation’s greatest presidents, and it is an honor to help recognize his achievements by designating ‘Ronald Reagan Day’ in Oklahoma,” said Senate President Co-Pro Tem Glenn Coffee.
