There a lot of us in the Mt. Rushmore state that agree Reagan's image should be added to the Shrine of Democracy. P

I would settle for the portrait of Ronaldus Magnus on the next edition of the $20 bill, replacing Andrew Jackson.
Those of us who were not fans had to tolerate FDR on dimes, and Ben Franklin was bumped from the fifty cent piece for JFK.

Is there enough suitable granite left on the mountain to carve President Reagan into Rushmore? I seem to remember reading years ago that Borglum's original vision for the four presidential busts had to be altered to accommodate faults discovered when his sculpting began, and that the existing monument looks the way it does because of those faults. If so, it would seem that adding anyone to Rushmore would be impossible.

I think he deserves a great monument of his own. 1000' tall, him alone. Name me one other president that won a World War (if you consider the Cold War as WW III as I do.) without firering a shot.</p>
