  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

  • Reagan Ranch Visit April 2018 by Kenneth W
    Reagan Ranch Visit April 2018 by Kenneth W. Barbi Summary I had the opportunity to visit the Reagan Ranch (Rancho del Cielo) on April 21st as a guest of Young America’s Foundation to see the preservation efforts of Ronald Reagan’s Santa Barbara White House where many of us worked in the 1980's. The Ranch was purchased from Ronald and Nancy Reagan in 1998 to provide the family financial resources to care for President Reagan’s health. Its new owner, Young America’s Foundation WWW.YAF.ORG, is a conservative youth centered political action organization. Background Quoting from author Brad Thor, “Young America’s Foundation is the largest youth outreach organization in the Conservative Movement and the only group that uses the power of the Reagan Ranch to shape future generations. The Foundation is the exclusive owner and operator of the Reagan Ranch, having worked with Ronald Reagan and the Reagan family since 1962 to advance freedom. Today, Young America’s Foundation hosts conferences and seminars at the Reagan Ranch to inspire young people and policy makers with President Reagan’s freedom philosophy of limited government, free enterprise, and a strong national defense.” The foundation hopes to make Rancho del Cielo the Mount Vernon and Monticello of the 20th Century. When the Ranch originally came on the market in the mid 1990's before Young America’s Foundation purchased it, there were unsuccessful efforts to have the Federal or California State Government buy it to preserve it as the real life home of a great US President. My April Visit When WHCA folks worked in Santa Barbara and at the Ranch, we learned a great deal about our humble President and no doubt have many fond memories of those days.

  • Agriprocessors
    Agriprocessors, Ethics and Kashrut: 10 Years Later Delivered by Rabbi Ari Hart Shabbat Vayechi, 12th of Tevet, 5778, December 30, 2017 Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Congregation, Skokie, IL It’s spring of 2008. I’m sitting at a table on the second floor of what I am slowly realizing is a completely empty diner in Lower Manhattan when the man across the table lowers his voice, points his finger at me and says: “You don’t want to know what happened to the last person who went up against my father in law.” The man is Rabbi Milton Balkany, a convicted felon known as the “Brooklyn Bundler” who served time for trying to blackmail and extort four million dollars from a hedge fund, among other encounters with the law. The father-in-law he referenced is Aaron Rubashkin, the owner of Agriprocessors. Balkany and two representatives from Agriprocessors sat on one side of the table and rabbinical student Shmuly Yanklowitz, Rabbi Jason Herman, and I sat on the other. “Was that a threat?” I asked. He replied that, of course, he would never threaten anyone, but he just didn’t think it was good for “you boys” to be involved in this. The “this” he was referring to was a letter that Uri L’Tzedek had sent to the Rubashkin family following the 2008 federal raid on its Agriprocessors plant. By the time of the meeting, thousands of other kosher consumers had signed on. In our letter and again in this meeting, we shared our deep concerns about Agriprocessors; how they had long exhibited a pattern of unethical business practices that had hurt many and created a massive chillul Hashem.
