January 2, 1974: President Nixon signed "The Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act", setting a new national maximum speed limit.....or 55 MPH! It was intended to save fuel.......it probably did but it also drove a lot of people crazy driving down our highways!— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) January 2, 2018
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
