About Me

In writing the "About Me" portion of this blog I thought about the purpose of the blog - namely, preventing the growth of Socialism & stopping the Death Of Democracy in the American Republic & returning her to the "liberty to abundance" stage of our history. One word descriptions of people's philosophies or purposes are quite often inadequate. I feel that I am "liberal" meaning that I am broad minded, independent, generous, hospitable, & magnanimous. Under these terms "liberal" is a perfectly good word that has been corrupted over the years to mean the person is a left-winger or as Mark Levin more accurately wrote in his book "Liberty & Tyranny" a "statist" - someone looking for government or state control of society. I am certainly not that & have dedicated the blog to fighting this. I believe that I find what I am when I consider whether or not I am a "conservative" & specifically when I ask what is it that I am trying to conserve? It is the libertarian principles that America was founded upon & originally followed. That is the Return To Excellence that this blog is named for & is all about.

Michael Reagan Joins FairTax Effort

Below is a message from Ken Hoagland letting us know that Michael Reagan has become a FairTax supporter.  Adding FairTax exposure to Michael's national radio audience is a great addition to having  Boortz & Huckabee as spokesmen. 

Dear Doug, Michael Reagan

I have some very, very exciting news to share with you.

Michael Reagan, the eldest son of former President Ronald Reagan, has just agreed to act as the Honorary Chairman of the FairTax National Victory Campaign!

I wanted to tell you first.

Mike believes, and we agree, that if the FairTax had existed during his father's time, President Reagan would have been a strong proponent.

It's not a hard conclusion to reach given that his father said this: "Our federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust and completely counterproductive, it reeks with injustice and is fundamentally un-American... it has earned a rebellion and it's time we rebelled..."

Mike has now agreed to help us get the second American tax revolt moving into high gear. That means a lot of Congressional communications, media work, radio, telephone recordings and television. It means a broader base of supporters behind the beloved legacy of Ronald Reagan, one of our greatest Presidents.

We have needed a strong public "face" and voice for the FairTax and it is hard to imagine a better champion for our needed cause.

I've written you before that this will become the "Year of the FairTax" and this is a big step forward toward that goal.

Please help me welcome the newest leader to our work and a fine person.

I'll have more news about our campaign progress soon and other "inside" details of the work.

Thanks for everything you do and for your steady support. You are the heart of our campaign.

Ken


P.S. I know that you've already signed your name on the petition demanding that the Ways and Means Committee finally hold a hearing on the FairTax. Thank you. Can I ask you now to send this petition to everyone you know? If you click here you'll find an easy way to forward this to your friends and family.
