WASHINGTON, D.C. – Each year the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project asks governors from all 50 states to issue a proclamation declaring February 6th “Ronald Reagan Day”. Today, The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project proudly commends the governors -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- who have recognized Reagan’s 101st birthday in their states.
“It is wonderful news that thirty-three governors have declared today “Ronald Reagan Day” in their states. It is sad that sixteen Democratic governors place partisan politics above respect for a great President,” said Grover Norquist, chairman of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project.

*Committed and pending
Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at Digg and at Reddit and in Stumbleupon and Delicious
I’m amazed Martin O’Malley signed - maybe he doesn’t know who Reagan was and thought he was a high school teacher or something.
O’Malley has probably figured out a way to tax Reagan’s legacy.
Lol. When I saw Marty signed up I fainted. Do you feel like we should just send our entire paycheck for taxes and they return a 20 spot? That seems to be where we are heading. Just last week he wanted to raise the gas tax of all things. Paying 6k a year for property taxes isn’t enough either. Taxes are Maryland’s best friend.
So my governor, Bob McDonnell, issues a proclamation honoring Reagan....after he endorses and campaigns for Mitt Romney. Ironic.
He’s just covering his (B-asses).
What makes you think they would return 20? LOL
