WASHINGTON,
D.C. - "Tonight we saw a bold, brave leader stand before Congress and the
world to lay out a carefully planned strategy to address the specific problems
that have shaken the American dream and stood in the way of making America
great again," said National Federation of Republican Women President
Carrie Almond in a statement following President Donald Trump's Address to a
Joint Session of Congress tonight.
"'Land
of the free and home of the brave,' - words that stir us every time we hear our
National Anthem - often refer to soldiers who fought on foreign lands,"
Almond said. "While our brave soldiers throughout the world continue to
fight for our freedom, we are also battling right here at home, in our streets
and schools, our places of work and worship, to restore American values and
repair the decay caused by the past eight years of division, bitterness and
elitist attitudes."
"Tonight
President Trump stood before the joint session of Congress like any great
commander, fully prepared with a battle plan, unafraid to take on a tough
fight," Almond added.
In
the first 38 days we have seen President Trump keep more campaign promises than
the previous administration accomplished in eight years, she said. "He has
done, and is doing, and will continue to do as president, precisely what he
said he would do as a candidate for president."
"Our
country was founded on the American dream of freedom, equal opportunity and
initiative. But it is not free," Almond asserted. "The American dream
does not mean that everything from health care to college should be free. It
does not mean that free speech equals freedom from manners, decorum, common
sense and decency. It does not mean freedom to come into this country
illegally. Our president clearly showed tonight his commitment to defending
American exceptionalism, preserving the American dream and restoring hope in
every citizen."
