HERNDON, VA – Young America’s Foundation is honored to announce the Remember Reagan Lecture Series that features instrumental figures in the Reagan Revolution. Reagan confidants Caspar “Cap” Weinberger, Edwin Meese III, William Clark, Lyn Nofziger, and others will visit America’s campuses to reinforce President Reagan’s ideas and accomplishments to the current generation of young conservatives.
Most college students today were small children during Reagan’s presidency and their only recollections of President Reagan are through their teachers and textbooks. This program will offer students a chance to hear directly from one of President Reagan’s friends and advisors on how he changed the world and helped free millions of people from the shackles of Communism.
Headliners for the series include:
William Clark: National Security Advisor and Secretary of the Interior in the Reagan Administration. He now serves as co-chairman of the Reagan Ranch Board of Governors.
Frank Donatelli: Reagan White House Political Director and Chair of the Reagan Ranch Board of Governors.
Edwin Meese III: 75th Attorney General of the United States and co-chairman of the Reagan Ranch Board of Governors.
Lyn Nofziger: White House press secretary and assistant to the president for political affairs.
Caspar “Cap” Weinberger: President Reagan’s Secretary of Defense from 1980-1987. Secretary Weinberger is a member of the Foundation’s Reagan Ranch Board of Governors.
“College administrators, faculty, and student lecture programs have an unique, educational opportunity,” comments Foundation President Ron Robinson. “They can introduce their students to those who intimately knew President Reagan and helped him revitalize the American Dream.”
Students interested in hosting a Reagan lecturer will contact Young America’s Foundation for questions and scheduling purposes.
For further information or to schedule an interview, please call Patrick Coyle at (703) 318-9608.
Young America’s Foundation is an educational organization promoting conservative ideas on our nation’s campuses through lectures, publications, and conferences. This past academic year, the Foundation sponsored over 300 lectures, including addresses by Walter Williams, Ann Coulter, Ben Stein, and John Stossel. In addition, Young America’s Foundation saved President Reagan’s Western White House – Rancho del Cielo in Santa Barbara, California – to serve as the centerpiece of its Reagan Ranch Program.
This is wonderful news! Maybe we can take back, some of the young minds, who have been force fed liberal rubbish, for so many years, by liberal teachers.
This is wonderful.
BTTT

bump.
I was one of the Young Republicans of yesteryear thanks to President Reagan. I can proudly say that once I was old enough to cast a ballot, Ronald Reagan was the first President I ever voted for.
At the time, I was young & idealistic and could very easily have slipped into the clutches of the Left. But, President Reagan won my heart and mind with his passion, honesty, optimism, courage, sense of humor, decency, and idealism. Yes, idealism! President Reagan showed me that it was with the Republican party where those who wanted to change the world for the better belonged.
I was idealistic, but not stupid. President Reagan's plans for a better world were firmly grounded in reality, not pie-in-the-sky utopian sophistries. His vision, his faith, his dreams were all larger than life, yet he succeeded at making it all come true!
Today's youth need to know this. They need to learn the lessons that President Reagan taught us. I'm sure they're starving for it; floundering in the dark, yearning for a bright and shining light. Let's give them one in the form of President Reagan, who absolutely dazzled.
I've always been sort of sad that I was 6 months too young to vote for President Reagan in 1984.
I just squeaked in by the skin of my teeth. Don't be sad. Perhaps, you did vote for him in a way, by changing the mind of someone who was old enough to vote. Maybe, you don't even know that it was what you said that changed his or her mind.
I do understand where you're coming from though, that you wish you could've expressed your support in the most tangible of ways. But, your heart was in the right place [and still is judging from your choice of message boards ;-) ]. And, that's what counts.
Thanks, I am one of the small percentage of Americans who can say they voted for Oliver North though.
Oliver North, the poor man must be devastated by the loss of the Commander in Chief he loved and admired so much. He'll be in my prayers.
Reagan ping.
What the locusts have eaten, God will restore. <><
Ditto!
Ditto!
So glad to see Stein on that list.
He spoke at our son's college a few years ago...our son got to pick him up from the airport.
