To: everyone

Michael needs to jump into this, and the sooner the better. He has chosen, apparently, not to begin his own political career. That's a shame, but at least he has an obligation to prevent Ron (and God knows who else among Reagan family and associates) from accomplishing an Orwellian rewriting of the Old Man's legacy.

Ron is an egotistical, liberal baby boomer. Former colleagues of Reagan's have another problem: They're part of the American social elite, and as such, do not like to be viewed as right-wingers. Therefore they'll tell themselves, and everyone else, that Reagan was a moderate, a compromiser, and so on. Perhaps they never even understood the man's essence. But in any case, we cannot let anyone's former proximity to Reagan give him/her a free pass. If they say something that distorts this great man, we must call them on it, clearly and repeatedly. As Reagan himself might say: "Bold colors here, not pale pastels."

Preserving clear memories of who Reagan was, and what he meant, is FAR more important than putting him on our currency or squeezing him onto Mount Rushmore. THIS is the true "Reagan Legacy Project." (Grover Norquist, call your office ...)

I have not use for that lousy fink Grover Norquist. The Washington Times had an article about how he co-founded an organization called Islamic Institute with a guy named Khaled Saffuri. Mr. Saffuri had also been involved in the American Muslim Council, supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah.

Or "Don't be afraid to see what you see."
