We had a magnificently successful 2012 and in this edition you can review our activities accomplished with the help of you all. We again were commended with awards for increasing Membership, CommunityInvolve-ment/Caring for America and Literacy thanks to your diligence and hard work. Countless hours were spent at precincts, G.O.P. and candidate headquarters. Although several of our candidates were defeated, our efforts in 2013 must remain focused on our mission of electing Republicans locally and nationally. Our aim this year must be to engage and educate the high school and college students in our midst to learn the words on our coins: Liberty, E Pluribus Unum, In God We Trust and our Constitution have special meaning to us as citizens. We must uphold the rights these words imply. The Charlotte Mousel Scholarship is an opportunity for high school juniors or seniors to participate by writing an essay on “What the Constitution means to me”. Please contact me for further information. Our plans for later this year will include young people in numerous ways. Please join us on Wednesday, February 6th at the North Ranch Country Club at 5:00 P.M. for an excellent chance to meet other members and guests and meet and hear Lt. Col. Steven Chealander relate his stories as military aide for President Ronald Reagan. The support of our military is still very important. On the rear cover find information how everyone can support our troops and veterans. I know we are all so appreciative of the sacrifice these men and women serving as well as their families. Think about perhaps hosting a spouse to a meeting, giving moral support, or help each in your own way. We have many spouses in this area who could use a phone call, or words of encouragement . We will be having opportunities to support these brave people. Consider lending your talent to one of our committees. Time given for purposeful, meaningful causes helps keep us ‘healthy.’ Thank you for continuing to support T.O.R.W.F. Please renew and perhaps bring others to our events. We love meeting new people. My best to you, Beatrice Restifo President 2 Disclaimer: All information transmitted through the TORWF newsletter is for information only.

Looking Back to 2011 and 2012 Keeping our theme “SOARING LIKE AN EAGLE WITH NEW VISION” in 2011 with many accomplishments including NFRW awarding TORWF the Diamond award, the CFRW awarding the Membership and Newsletter Awards, TORWF maintained our high quality programs and events which brought our attendance to record highs for both years. One of the most impressive events was our INTERNATIONAL RONALD REAGAN CENTENNIAL elegant celebration luncheon held at the prestigious, private Regency Club on Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, with twenty Consuls General from countries around the world where President Reagan made an impact ; U.S. State Department representative; Michael Reagan; and overflowing attendance. Reverend Doctor Gary Alan Dickey led us from the eighteenth floor reception to the terrace overlooking Beverly Hills while regaling us with his wonderful bagpipe sounds for the release of fifty white doves for peace. We then followed the bagpipe sounds to the seventeenth floor Regency Dining Room for a special Regency luncheon and program. The address of the Dean of the Consular Corps was a highlight in which he declared much respect and admiration for President Ronald Reagan. Professor Robert G. Kaufman, Ph.D., of the School of Public Policy, Pepperdine University, spoke on President Reagan’s legacy and his effect on the world. Professor Kaufman’s other lectures were “Two Visions of National Security”; “Ronald Reagan’s Doctrine vs Barack Obama’s” during 2011. In 2012 he gave a brilliant talk on “How To Elect A New President.” One of our missions is to empower and showcase women who have achieved high quality accomplishments in their fields by presenting a ‘DYNAMIC WOMEN’S FORUM”. During 2011 Linda Livingston, PhD., Dean of the School of Business and Management, Pepperdine University, acted as moderator. We were very fortunate to have the Wisconsin’s Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch participate, the youngest woman to hold that office. Deanell Reese Tacha, the first woman Dean of the School of Law, Pepperdine University, and Hannah Grossman, M.D., the first woman Chief of staff at Los Robles Hospital, Thousand Oaks, Ca. completed the panel. At our annual “Beacon of Light Awards” Gala Christmas/Holiday luncheon at the Sherwood Country club, Thousand Oaks we were honored to present Arizona Governor Janice K. Brewer with the “Beacon of Light” Americanism Award. Michael Reagan was awarded the “Beacon of Light” Freedom Award. Proceeds from a previous book signing by Michael Reagan were presented to Mr. Reagan to support his Reagan Legacy Foundation, which provides scholarships to U.S. Navy staff on duty on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier and their families. Edward Francis was awarded the “Beacon of Light” Humanitarian Award for philanthropy and founding the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic where students are given a venue to appear before a professional symphonic orchestra. This event surpassed any other attendance this year. We began 2012 with Round Table Discussion at evening dinner at the North Ranch country Club with the great conservative advocate Andrew Breitbart. His talk was extremely effective and informative energizing the audience about the upcoming election and how each person should become involved. We were saddened two weeks later to learn of Andrew’s unexpected and untimely death. We miss him dearly and will dedicate our 2012 Gala Christmas/Holiday Luncheon in his honor. At our March 2012 Membership-Political Reception at the Licata Lounge, Civic arts Plaza, we were honored to have Fredrick Alexander as stand in for George Washington representing the spirit of the “Founders” in a moving talk about the dire straits of our Republic today and what has to be done to save our nation. Many candidates for Republican offices attended. 3 Looking Back to 2011 and 2012 We believe in supporting our youth and including them in some of our meetings. At our April dinner meeting “YOUTH APPRECIATION DAY” hosted eighteen high school students most of whom would be eighteen years old by November 6th when they would be eligible to vote. Those eligible registered and will be voting November 6th for the first time. The Banquet Manager, who is Hispanic, at the Westlake Village Inn, where the meeting took place, had just become a U.S. citizen and registered to vote for the first time. Delores Chavez Harms. CFRW Southern Division Hispanic Outreach Chair spoke on “How To Encourage Hispanics To vote Republican.” Copies of the “Red Book”- Democrats and Republicans Contrasted were made available in English and Spanish for wide distribution. The June 2012 exceptional luncheon meeting, “Secrets of the Secret Service” featuring Joseph Beaty, Executive Special Agent in Charge of Los Angeles Office. His anecdotes of his service to many presidents kept everyone in rapt attention with many requests for his return. July 2012 evening reception at the Four Seasons Hotel when we were extremely fortunate to hear Ben Shapiro., dear friend of Andrew Breitbart, now Editor-at-Large for Breitbart News and radio commentator on 870 AM KRLA, 6:00 to 9:00 A.M. spoke on “Defending Liberty.” He spoke again at the September 2012 meeting with an inspiring talk on the Romney-Ryan ticket. The screening of “THE CONSERVATIVES” film by prize winning film maker, producer Stephen K. Bannon and the Young America’s Foundation was an exceptional presentation aimed at young voters and general public. Two exhilarating events in October excited the members and guests.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction Ronald Reagan’s Defining Vision for the 1980s— -_and America There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. ronald reagan, “the speech,” 1964 Your first point, however, about making them love you, not just believe you, believe me—I agree with that. ronald reagan, october 16, 1979 One day in 1924, a thirteen-year-old boy joined his parents and older brother for a leisurely Sunday drive roaming the lush Illinois country- side. Trying on eyeglasses his mother had misplaced in the backseat, he discovered that he had lived life thus far in a “haze” filled with “colored blobs that became distinct” when he approached them. Recalling the “miracle” of corrected vision, he would write: “I suddenly saw a glori- ous, sharply outlined world jump into focus and shouted with delight.” Six decades later, as president of the United States of America, that extremely nearsighted boy had become a contact lens–wearing, fa- mously farsighted leader. On June 12, 1987, standing 4,476 miles away from his boyhood hometown of Dixon, Illinois, speaking to the world from the Berlin Wall’s Brandenburg Gate, Ronald Wilson Reagan em- braced the “one great and inescapable conclusion” that seemed to emerge after forty years of Communist domination of Eastern Eu- rope. “Freedom leads to prosperity,” Reagan declared in his signature For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

  • 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.

  • Oscar-Winning Actress Jane Wyman Dies
    Oscar-winning actress Jane Wyman dies RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Oscar-winning actress Jane Wyman, once married to future president Ronald Reagan, joined the Catholic Church as an adult and became a benefactor to several Catholic causes. Ms. Wyman died Sept. 10 at her home in Rancho Mirage. The cause of death was not disclosed. While her age was placed at 90, other sources suggested she may have been 93. “The death of Ms. Wyman marks the loss not only of a great actress, but a great woman of faith and a personal friend,” said a Sept. 10 statement from Bishop Gerald R. Barnes of San Bernardino. “Her support of the work of the Catholic Church in the Coachella Valley and the Diocese of San Bernardino made possible many wonderful things, including the Blessed Junipero Serra House of Formation,” Bishop Barnes said. Ms. Wyman also was a strong supporter of Hollywood’s Covenant House and Our Lady of Angels Monastery. She also reportedly went to Mass with fellow Catholic actress Loretta Young, who died in 2000. She won an Oscar for her portrayal of deaf-mute Belinda McDonald, who is made pregnant from rape and becomes a source of scandal, in 1948’s “Johnny Belinda.” She also was nominated three other times for roles in “The Yearling” (1946), as the backwoods wife of Gregory Peck; “The Blue Veil” (1951), as a nursemaid viewed over many decades; and “Magnificent Obsession” (1954), as a blind woman romanced by the playboy who accidentally killed her husband. Her breakout role was in the 1938 movie “Brother Rat,” where she met Mr.

He is also a survivor of child abuse and child pornography. After he was adopted in 1945 by former president Ronald Reagan and actress Jane Wyman, Michael Reagan fell victim to circumstances that defy our perception of the life of children of celebrities. SEE RELATED: Childhelp, Erin Merryn and Michael Reagan team up to protect children Michael Reagan’s descent into a world of pain and suffering began in 1948 at the age of three with the divorce of Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman. This event changed Michael’s world as he was placed in the custody of his mother and the time spent with his father became a shadow of their former relationship. Divorce can be difficult to process in the mind of a young child, and many internalize the blame for the breakup of their parents, saddling themselves with a lifetime of guilt. Michael struggled with feelings of loneliness and abandonment as he tried to make sense of his father’s absence and a sometimes emotionally distant mother.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. In this study, beliefs and convictions are delineated by the extent to which the belief is also operationalized in policy; that is, a conviction is a belief that has been applied in a substantive manner. For example, as we will see in chapter 6 that deals with Reagan’s cognetic narrative, he had a belief that abortion was abhorrent and immoral, but he had a competing conviction that it was not a government’s role to impose limits on freedom of choice. In effect, his conviction about limited government overrode his belief about abortion from becoming a conviction. For members of the Religious Right, for whom prohibiting abortion was clearly a conviction, Reagan managed to assuage them with rhetoric, but the record shows that he did not act in a substantive manner. 2.

  • PRESENT at the CREATION” Constituting the New American Empire 1945–1950
    Chapter 4 “PRESENT AT THE CREATION” Constituting the New American Empire 1945–1950 In a sense the postwar years were a period of creation. (Dean Acheson, 1969) he dapper and witty Honorable Dean Acheson, a gentleman’s gentle- Tman and President Harry Truman’s secretary of state (1949–1953), held the highest positions in US diplomacy during and after World War II. The postwar years he refers to in the quotation above are roughly the fi ve years following the end of the war in 1945. They “were a period of cre- ation,” of fi nding the parts and fi tting them together in a colossal struc- tural project to constitute the postwar US social being. This chapter, then, explores the exercise of force to achieve constructive powers, specifi cally those creating the post-1945 iteration of American Empire. First, this chapter documents who did it; next it details the features of global human being as Acheson and his peers refl ected on it, in doing their constitution. This postwar human being, inhabited by a Bear that was a Leviathan (an oddity explained later), presented US elites with a men- acing hermeneutic puzzle. This puzzle, one of a political contradiction, is documented. The chapter goes on to show how the hermeneutic politics to resolve the puzzle engendered a series of public délires and institutions that constituted a novel social being—a three-tiered rental empire, called the New American Empire. Let us begin with actors, specifi cally the security elites who did the constituting. Security Elites 1.0 The “River families” were born to this spacious sense of tradition and of lei- sure.
