Two different visions for America. President Reagan launched his effort to return America to greatness with simple but profound words during his first inaugural speech, “In the present times Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.”

This is a great way to stay informed on all the Centennial activities the Foundation has planned throughout the year, as well as post a tribute to America’s 40th President on our wall.
The Reagan Foundation salutes this year’s CPAC. Your hard work and commitment to the conservative ideals President Reagan fought for all his life is just another tribute to this great nation.

Today is the 66th anniversary of “D-Day,” the day which the American and British liberation of Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany began.
President Ronald Reagan delivered a stirring address marking the 40th anniversary of D-Day, on June 6th, 1984, in Normandy, France. Many of the men who survived the storming the beaches at Normandy were in his presence as he delivered his remarks.
“These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.”

The RI Young Republicans are encouraging every concerned Rhode Islander to attend the 2nd Annual Tax Day Tea Party at the State House on Thursday, April 15th, from 3-6pm – the BIGGEST and most important political event of the year!
Bring your friends, colleagues, and family. Tell them to come see for themselves the good character and the decency of those involved with the RI Tea Party. Not to mention their guiding principles of liberty.
And, of course, the Young Republicans will be hosting the After Party! Come mingle with us at Ri Ra Irish Pub right after the Tea Party, right down the street from the State House.
See you there!!

This ad by the U.S. Census Bureau features conservative Karl Rove encouraging Americans to return their 2010 Census Form. He said the Census provision was written into the U.S. Constitution by James Madison, and that the “10 easy questions” are very similar to the 10 questions that “Madison helped write for the first census in 1790.”
Of course, Karl is referring to the “short-form” Census that most people receive and dutifully return with little complaint. What has generally been considered more controversial has to do with the “long-form” Census, which asks all manner of intrusive questions which are not Constitutionally required (ex. How many toilets do you have in your home?).

GE’s participation as a Presenting Sponsor includes:
$10 Million in the form of cash, advertising and promotion to support the Ronald Reagan Centennial Celebration, including funds to support the completely transformed, state-of-the-art Museum at the Reagan Library that will be unveiled on February 5, 2011. This will include a new General Electric Theater that will focus on Reagan’s career in radio, television, and film.
An additional $5 million to the Reagan Presidential Foundation to launch and support the GE-Reagan Scholars Program, an effort that will begin in 2011 and that will provide 200 four-year college scholarships over the next decade to deserving students who embody the vision and values personified by President Reagan.
A donation to the Reagan Foundation of 208 restored episodes of General Electric Theater in which Ronald Reagan hosted or appeared from 1954-1962. The episodes, many of which were thought to be lost and some of which were damaged, were recently uncovered in GE/NBC Universal archives and restored to broadcast quality for purposes of the renovated Reagan Museum.
An ad campaign and interactive Internet presence located at www.ge.com/reagan to promote the Centennial and honor President Reagan’s service to our nation and time with GE. TV, radio and print advertisements in support of the Centennial that will remind audiences of Reagan’s optimistic spirit as well as his legacy at both GE and as President can be found on this site.
A series of public affairs lectures with Reagan-era luminaries that will focus on President Reagan’s legacy and qualities as a leader. The events will take place at venues around the country with details to be announced in the coming months.
