Answer:
Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign was a successful campaign for Reagan and his running mate George H. W. Bush's election and president and vice president of the United States. They defeated the incumbent Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Vice President Walter Mondale. Reagan, a Republican and former Governor of California announced his third presidential bid in a nationally televised speech from New York City. He campaigned extensively for the primaries after losing the Iowa caucus to Bush. In a republican debate in Nashua before the New Hampshire primary, when the moderator requested his microphone to be turned off, he furiously replied "I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Breen!". In the end, he won 44 states and 59.8% of the vote. He initially decided to nominate former President Gerald Ford as his running mate, but Ford wanted to be given such extended power as vice president (especially over the foreign policy) that their ticket would effectively amount to "co-presidency". As a result, negotiations to form a Reagan-Ford ticket ceased. Bush then selected former CIA director and George H. W. Bush as the vice presidential nominee.

No, the freedom of speech is one of the most important rights in a democracy along with the freedom of press. It allows several voices to rise and be heard. But it does not means that you can say whatever you want whenever you want.
You can find the foundations of the freedom of speech in the first amendment where it says:
<em>"Amendment I
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Congress </em><em>shall make no law </em><em>respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or </em><em>abridging the freedom of speech</em><em>, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" </em>
But there are exceptions to the rule. You can´t say whatever you want as the supreme court have showed in several cases. From this we can extract some categories where the first amendment doesn´t work:
- Incitement: When its directed to inciting or producing inminent lawless action.
- False statements of facts: there are some types of this unprotected according to the supreme court: those said with <em>"sufficiently culpable mental state" </em>can be subject of criminal or civil liability. Secondly libel and slander and finally negligent statements or facts can be subject of civil liability.
As a conclusion we can say that the freedom of speech is a fundamental right in a healthy democracy but we must take care of it. We can´t say whatever we want, well actually we can but you have to be responsible of your acts.
