    Not so fast says the Reagan Foundation

    Don't drag President Reagan into this.

    The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute called on President Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) to stop using former President Reagan’s name and image to fundraise last week.

    The request came after the Trump campaign sent out a fundraising email on July 19 that said for a donation of $45 or more, a supporter of the president would receive a “limited edition” set featuring two gold-colored coins with images of Trump and Reagan.

    I did not vote for Reagan but respected him. For, when I was a child my parents would point out his home when we'd drive by it. And, I thought his governorship was a good thing.

    When Reagan was shot, I cut classes at the U of U to sit in my car and listen to the radio reports about it. Those were dark days and I don't want our children or future generations to go through another such shooting.

    The secret is out why the “Reagan Foundation” has issued letters to Trump — the board of the Reagan Foundation like so many foundations and NGO’s has been infested with the hard-core leftist scum the originator of the institution despised. Like rats, when one gets in the attic or on your board they breed and multiply until there is nothing else but them eating through the walls and wiring.

    The Washington Post’s CEO and publisher, Fred Ryan, serves as chairman of the board of trustees for the foundation, which maintains and sustains the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library!

    Funny, I was engaged with “certain” activities (church mission) in Belgium and France. The only news we got was from Time, Newsweek, and the International Herald Tribune, if we had time, a little money and could find them.

    Good to hear, Scooter. Many members of my family, some of them female, did missions for the LDS Church. Even my Nephew, who was robbed twice and came back from the Dominican Republic with broken limbs says, "It was the greatest experience of my life." Listening to his stories about it, I believe him. My Brother aims to be a Missionary when he retires.

    It was one of the most incredibly difficult experiences of my life. Imagine going door to door, every single day, and seldom getting in. Then having a long list of rules that you are supposed to follow. All while living on ~$400 a month, Self supported from savings, including rent. At 19, you learn a lot about yourself. I don’t regret a minute of it, and look forward to one with my wife, where the work is a lot more pleasant, and the budget is not nearly as tight.
