This month marks the 100th birthday of President Ronald Reagan. In this week’s “Freedom Minute,” CFIF’s Renee Giachino looks back on his commitment to America’s founding principles and the cause of liberty. “A good president would have reminded us that America has the potential to be a shining city on a hill,” says Giachino. “But because he was a great one, Ronald Reagan took action to ensure that we would become that city.”
Bill Pascoe, Executive Vice President of Citizens for the Republic and a longtime political and communications advisor, discusses President Reagan’s political legacy and why he gives “Three Cheers” for Judge Vinson’s ruling declaring unconstitutional the individual mandate that is the heart of ObamaCare.
This year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is set to be the biggest ever, and CFIF Vice President of Legal and Public Affairs Timothy Lee is honored to be selected as one of its speakers.
His panel, entitled “The Left’s Campaign to Reshape the Judiciary,” is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. this Friday, February 11 in the Marshall Ballroom. Kelly Shackelford of the Liberty Institute will moderate the panel, which also includes Ken Klukowski of the American Civil Rights Union and Dan Pero of the American Justice Partnership. Our judicial system is a primary tool by which the political left seeks to remake America to fit its distorted image, and we must remain vigilant against that scheme. Especially with the 2012 presidential kicking off, this CPAC isn’t one to miss.
