A 1984 Ronald Reagan Presidential Campaign Button\"REAGAN BUSH \'84 \"
Ronald Wilson Reagan(February 6, 1911– June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of theUnited States(1981–1989) and the 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975). Born inTampico,Illinois, Reagan moved toLos Angeles,Californiain the 1930s. He began a career in filmmaking and later television, making 52 films and gaining enough success to make him a household name. Though largely a B film actor, he starred in bothKnute RockneandKings Row. Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later spokesman for General Electric (GE); his start in politics occurred during his work for GE. Originally a member of the Democratic Party, he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater\'s presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 as well as 1976, but won both the nomination and election in 1980.
As president, Reagan implemented new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed \"Reaganomics,\" advocated reduced business regulation, controlling inflation, reducing growth in government spending, and spurring economic growth through tax cuts. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against organized labor, and ordered military actions inGrenada. He was reelected in a landslide in 1984, proclaiming it was \"Morning inAmerica.\"
His second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, namely the ending of the Cold War, the bombing ofLibya, and the revelation of the Iran-Contra affair. Publicly describing the Soviet Union as an \"evil empire\", he supported anti-Communist movements worldwide and spent his first term forgoing the strategy of détente by ordering a massive military buildup in an arms race with theUSSR. Reagan negotiated with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, culminating in the INF Treaty and the decrease of both countries\' nuclear arsenals.
Reagan left office in 1989. In 1994, the former president disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer\'s disease earlier in the year; he died ten years later at the age of 93. He ranks highly among formerU.S.presidents in terms of approval rating.
