1978 was a big year for the GOP resurgence in Texas, and Ronald Reagan played a central role. On September 12, 1978, Reagan spoke to a crowd in Dallas at a fundraiser for Bill Clements. Former President Gerald Ford and future President George HW Bush were also in attendance. “Family, work, neighborhood, freedom, peace,” Reagan said. “We should not repeat those words until they become second nature. We should meditate on their meaning and how our policies can be applied to them. They should be on our lips. But they also must be in our hearts.”
