There were so many good speeches last night, but this one stands out.
Maximo Alvarez was born in Cuba so he knows what Communism looks like and he's trying to warn us before our country turns into a third world country.
I implore all of you to listen. Forget what party you support and listen to this man.
His speech is embedded in the article below. I couldn't find it separately on You Tube.
Feel free to add speeches that you found (or find in the future) to be most important.

Alvarez warned against embracing socialist policies during a speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday night.
Alvarez began his address by sharing how his family fled from Cuba to the United States.
He took aim at Biden and claimed he is “mostly concerned about power.”
“I’m speaking to you today because I have seen people like this before. I have seen movements like this before. I’ve seen ideas like this before. And I am here to tell you, we cannot let them take over our country,” Alvarez said.
He continued, “I heard the promises of Fidel Castro, and I can never forget all those who grew up around me, who looked like me, who suffered and starved and died because they believed those empty promises. They swallowed the communist poison pill.”

He continued to blast the “false promises” of Biden and said they “don’t sound radical to my ears,” rather he said they remind him of what Castro promised to the Cuban people.
“I hear echoes of a former life I never wanted to hear again. I see shadows I thought I had outrun,” he added.
Quote:“I may be Cuban-born, but I am 100% American. This the greatest country in the world. And I said this before, if I gave away everything that I have today, it would not equal 1% of what I was given when I came to this great country of ours: the gift of freedom.”
Finally, Alvarez said Americans can choose between Biden, and the rest of the “D.C. swamp,” who he said will “hand the country over to those dangerous forces” of anarchy and communism.
“You and I will decide. And here’s what I’ve decided, my decision is very easy,” he said as he grew visibly emotional. “I choose President Trump because I choose America. I choose freedom.”
“I still hear my dad. There is no other place to go,” he added.
