ABC Radio Networks has published the text of Fred Thompson's speech Saturday night to the Lincoln Club of Orange County, California. Also, there's video of the speech available now on YouTube. Links below.
The Associated Press says Thompson spoke for about 35 minutes, "sketching a broad agenda that hewed to Reaganesque themes - a strong military, a limited federal government and robust free markets."
Thompson also warned that people in the United States must be prepared to sacrifice in a world threatened by terrorism and hostile governments. "Every generation has made sure that it did its part to make sure that it did endure, with the sacrifices they made. And now it's our turn," Thompson said.
