| We are only one month away until the upcoming elections. As President Reagan said in October 1986, “In just a few weeks, we Americans are once again going to show the world the one thing that, more than any other, is the source of our strength. We’ll go to the polls, and as a free people, we’ll vote…But just as important as how we vote is that we vote. Every vote cast on election day means that we the people have taken a hand in shaping our nation’s future…Every time we vote we’re standing up, side by side, with the Founding Fathers, with the men of Valley Forge, with patriots and pioneers throughout our history, with all those who dedicated their lives to making this a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. Every time we vote we help to make America stronger.”
– Ronald Reagan

A VIRTUAL CONVERSATION WITH
LT. GENERAL H.R McMASTER
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2020
4:00 P.M. PT – 7:00 P.M. ET
|
| Please join us for a virtual conversation with Former United States National Security Advisor Lt. General H.R. McMaster on his brand-new book, Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World (Publish Date: September 22, 2020). This event will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel, and pre-signed copies of the book can be purchased on our website.
From Lt. General H.R. McMaster, U.S. Army, ret., and author of the bestselling classic Dereliction of Duty, comes a bold and provocative re-examination of the most critical foreign policy and national security challenges that face the United States, and an urgent call to compete to preserve America’s standing and security. |
| Senator Tim Scott joins Reaganism to discuss his belief in the importance of school choice, the effectiveness of opportunity zones, and the Senate’s role in the ongoing push for law enforcement reform. |
| Our education work focuses on cultivating the next generation of citizen-leaders. Part of what makes great leaders is great communication skills. In this throwback to our 2014 ad campaign for the Great Communicator Debate Series, elementary school students share some of the great presidential quotes from history. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Information on this year’s competition will be posted later this year. In the meantime, check out our website. |

| Question: In what decade did Ronald Reagan switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party? |
| Answer: Ronald Reagan officially switched parties in the 1960s. During remarks at a White House Reception for New Republicans in 1985 he joked, “I campaigned for a while as a Democrat for Republican candidates. And finally I was pretty much accepted as a Republican and was speaking at a Republican fundraiser, and right in the middle of my speech a woman stood up out in the middle of the audience, and she said, ‘Have you reregistered yet?’ And I said, `No, but I’m going to.’ She said, `I’m a registrar.’ And she came right down the middle — put it there on the podium, and I signed up and then said, `Now, where was I?’” |
