Thousands Sign On As "Reagan Activists"

Join The NEW Reagan Revolution

Bring Conservatism BACK!

From the Desk of Michael Reagan

Dear Conservative Friend,

My father wasn't afraid to call evil what it was -- and neither am I. He defeated the "Evil Empire" called the Soviet Union -- but now we face a new "Evil Empire." It's called Socialism, and it's taken over our once-free nation through the victories of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

We MUST do this. Really -- what choice do we have, except to fight back and WIN? As my father, President Ronald Reagan, once said, "We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow."

It's official: America has its first truly Socialist president... and it's the Republican Party's fault.

No, scratch that -- it's the so-called "leaders" of the GOP who are at fault for this humiliating defeat -- and I say it's time to name names and make heads roll in our party. Because, my fellow conservatives, we have been BETRAYED by the very people who promised that, if we would just elect them, they would get into office and vote OUR conservative values.

THEY LIED... THE GOP DIED.

We CAN fight back -- Join me now in the NEW Reagan Revolution, to bring Conservatism BACK! ReaganAction.com

Real Reagan Conservatives Are Ready To Do Everything in Their Power To Help Michael with This New Campaign.

Just look at One of the Thousands of Letters We Received!

Please tell Michael,

Back in 1990 Ron sent me a personal letter after I wrote to him with my

concerns about the economy and the USSR threat of nuclear war.

(I have since lost the letter). But the core of the letter was to direct me to build my life and business and the small details. To leave the big stuff to him and

the really big stuff to God.

He touched my heart. I consider Ronald Reagan to me as a father and have

loved him since.

I cried myself to sleep the night I found out he had passed away. I also

adore Nancy. She is such a true woman.

I will do everything in my power to help you with this new campaign and

direction.

FYI: I have a massive Bully Pulpit to the people. My business has over 200

million subscribers and trust me I will be a very big ally to this cause.

Most of my subscribers are small aspiring entrepreneurs.

As I think about the election results -- maps, vote tallies, exit polls, state and national results, and much more -- I have to say that, like many of you, I'm in a state of shock.

Not because I'm surprised, mind you -- I warned you that this would happen if the Republican Party nominated John McCain for president.

Yes, I was right... but believe me, that doesn't make me happy. What it makes me... is angry.

• Angry at the Democrats,

• Angry at the "moderate" (meaning liberal) Rockefeller-wing of the Republican Party, who tried to kill the idea of grassroots involvement of hardworking, patriotic, conservative Americans in our party.

• Angry with President Bush because he was unwilling to stop Republican Congressional leaders from overspending.

• Angry at the so-called "leaders" of our party, who promised us that if we'd just vote for who they put up for election, we'd finally get what we wanted: smaller government, lower taxes, dramatically lower spending, pro-life laws, pro-marriage constitutional amendments, pro-American economics... well, YOU AND I put them in power, and they gave us nothing but BIG GOVERNMENT, BIG DEFICITS, and LIBERAL COMPROMISES.

But we CAN resurrect it -- IF we start TODAY to take action, by both booting out our failed fake-conservative "leadership" AND vowing to FIGHT tooth and nail against the coming tidal wave of destructive, anti-American legislation that's now heading our way... thanks to Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

I say, NO MORE! Join me now in the NEW Reagan Revolution, to bring Conservatism BACK!

ReaganAction.com

As bad as the election results were, I believe there IS "light at the end of the tunnel" -- I believe we now have the opportunity to finally turn out these fake "leaders" that have betrayed conservatism and given us Barack Obama. We have the opportunity to bring back the Reagan wing of the Republican Party, to slow down the socialist legislation from Pelosi and Reid, and to restore this great Republic to its original ideals of basic self-evident truths: our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

This is our chance, friend. It may be our ONLY chance to save our Party -- and it may be our LAST chance to save our country.

Here's what I'm doing to help make that happen: Today, I'm officially launching a new website, ReaganAction.com. This is no wimpy little website with some news articles and a bunch of editorial writers griping about how bad things are. The time for "just talking" is OVER -- now is the time for ACTION!

Every day, we'll give the members of this site -- our own "Reagan Activists" -- the information they need in order to take real grassroots action to counter the greatest political threat we've ever faced within our own government. It won't take a lot of time -- usually only a few minutes a day -- but the political payout will be HUGE!

Here are some of the things that YOU AND I will be able to do at ReaganAction.com:

• STOP LIBERAL BILLS -- We can expect an immediate onslaught of extreme liberal bills to be "fast-tracked" through Congress and signed by Obama. We will constantly be on the watch for these bills -- and every time they get introduced, we'll alert our Activists to literally FLOOD Capitol Hill with millions of phone calls, faxes, emails and even hand-delivered letters and petitions, DEMANDING that our elected legislators do what WE say, or else face our wrath at the next election!

• FIGHT LIBERAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS -- You can be sure that President Obama (oh, how that phrase terrifies me!) will get right to work on Day One, issuing Executive Orders that will make your skin crawl: repealing pro-life presidential directives, ordering agencies to fund far-left groups like ACORN and the ACLU, signing over American sovereignty to the United Nations and the European Union... he's got a long list! But for every liberal (and usually unconstitutional) Executive Order that Barack Obama issues, we'll alert our Activists to BARRAGE the White House with even MORE phone calls, faxes, emails and even hand-delivered letters and petitions, DEMANDING that he "reverse course" on those Orders or face a Republican Congress in 2010!

• EXPOSE LIBERAL CORRUPTION -- With the Democrats back in power in both Congress and the White House, you KNOW that they'll be falling right back into their habits of taking lobbyists' money under the table, trading votes for campaign contributions, spying on and sabotaging Republican legislative plans, covering up their leaders' sexual "flings," and spending taxpayer money on personal expenses like never before. But this time, YOU AND I will be there every step of the way, making sure that no stone is left unturned, every dark corner is filled with light, and every illegal act is paid for with censure, impeachment, recalls, investigations, and jail time for every criminal we expose in Washington, D.C.

• COUNTER THE LIBERAL MEDIA -- Whenever any of these things take place, we'll be directing our "Reagan Activists" to constantly fill the news media with letters to the editor, guest editorials, and news articles detailing the socialistic and corrupt policies of the new liberal regime, and offering America a better way -- the way of freedom... the CONSERVATIVE way.

Together, we CAN save America from the new liberal regime! Join me now in the NEW Reagan Revolution, to bring Conservatism BACK!

ReaganAction.com

And don't forget -- I'll also be spreading the word the same way I do already: by writing nationally-syndicated columns each week, and by speaking to over five million listeners each and every weekday on my nationwide radio show!

We do NOT have to give up. We do NOT have to slink into some dark corner and lick our wounds. This is OUR MOMENT TO SHINE -- and that's why I'm launching ReaganAction.com!

Like I said before, when the Reagan wing is in control, we win. We don't need kingmakers; we need workers, and until we get them we'll stay the minority party. We don't need to keep the toady liberals who call themselves the "leaders" of the Republican Party; we need conservatives to TAKE BACK the Republican Party, and GET RID OF those losers!

WILL YOU JOIN ME, and hundreds of thousands of your fellow conservative activists nationwide? Let's show these liberals what real REAGAN Republicans can do, when WE'RE in charge of the GOP!

Join me now in the NEW Reagan Revolution, to bring Conservatism BACK!

With Hope in the Future,

Michael Reagan

Chairman

ReaganAction.com

P.S. Already, the new radical regime in Washington, D.C. is planning their first legislative attacks on America:

• Huge increases in payroll and income taxes;

• Redistributionist "share the wealth" policies;

• Repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act;

• Forcing faith-based groups to hire gays;

• Repeal all state regulations on abortion through FOCA;

• Require taxpayer funding of abortion through Medicaid;

• Block all efforts to "Drill Here, Drill Now" in America;

• Impose universal health care through job-killing employer mandates;

• Appoint activists liberal Supreme Court judges;

• Kill conservative talk radio by re-instituting the "Fairness Doctrine";

• Require comprehensive sex education from the earliest grades in public schools;

• Enforce bilingual education in the public schools;

• Allow convicted felons to vote;

• Take secret ballot voting away from workers deciding on whether to unionize...

The list goes on and on and on...

And it's up to YOU AND I to stop them! Don't let the door slam shut on this opportunity to make a difference...

Join me now in the NEW Reagan Revolution, to bring Conservatism BACK!

Tim Walberg was probably among the staunchest conservatives in congress. Anti amnesty, pro life, pro drilling, firm vote against the bailout, Founding member of Michigan’s “NO caucus” (Anti tax raiser).

My question is where do we find a true Conservative Republican representative these days. I am and was totally disgusted with McCain. I do not want to further the careers of RINO’s for their shot at the House GOP leadership chair.

My other question is: How many Conservatives is there on FR these days? IMO all the Bush Bots are so far to the left they might as well join the UN. McCain lovers can go with them. Who is left? More than a handful of us?

Maybe...maybe not. How do you get the Rinos out? They have the power. We went thru this in 2006. Remember the “just hold your nose?” Nothing seems to have changed. Sometimes you just have to accept that things aren't going to work and take a different route. Would it not be better to build a conservative party? JAT

Yes, Tom Cole was also a major factor.

The most guilty parties are:
John Boehner
Roy Blunt
Adam Putnam
Tom Cole
Mike Duncan
John McCain

Bobby Jindal in Louisiana, but no one knows his national aspirations yet.

I really enjoyed Michael's show when I could get it in the 90's.

He was always pushing the grass roots angle.

he may have had some help on it, but it sounds like the guy I loved to listen to.

He could never be too conservative for me but perhaps he was for the moneybag keepers.

We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years.

The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.

The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

The fight between Boner and Cole goes back quite a ways.
The fact that Cole remained even after threatening to quit a year ago just shows Boner’s complete lack of leadership.

Everything Boner has done has highlighted incompetence.
He didn’t keep Republicans in-line on earmarks, spending, or ethics.
In fact, he has done everything he could to signal to his members and the voters that he was soft on all of these.
He opposed an earmark moratorium, he supported the bailout and sent his leadership team out to round up as many votes for it as he could. And he defended Bob Ney’s corruption.

This is not the leader the GOP needed then, and he is not the leader they need now.

He provided no message, no direction, no principles, nothing to run on at all. It is way past time for some new blood at the helm.

I’m wondering about the same thing. Maybe it is time for the conservatives to start a truly Conservative Party and let the GOP go the way of all political parties eventually. The country club, RINO’s are NOT going to allow there to ever be another conservative candidate on the ticket. So, let them have their own little country club party. As Rush has said, when conservatism runs, it wins every time. We’ve seen how well McCain’s liberal milquetoast habits have worked. His “frends” in the Congress would give him the shiv in a NY minute.

"My question is where do we find a true Conservative Republican representative these days."

Maybe a FReeper could become a Republican Party leader. Perhaps Jim Robinson or his son.

I'd like to see someone such as "Doughty One" "Congressman Billybob" or a number of other terrific thinking contributers here take the helm or at least some position.

I will admit that those several surveys sent out by the Republican Party to my home had a better chance of being responded to by the local trash men than they did from me.

“Bobby Jindal in Louisiana, but no one knows his national aspirations yet....”

I love Gov. Jindal...have, continue and will support him 100%, but he couldn’t rustle up enough support in the state this past election to oust that corrupt skank Landrieu from the senate....we tried but just too many on the govt. teat in New Orleans.
