Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Signs Legislation Declaring Ronald Reagan Day in California

One of the few things the unpopular California Governor Schwarzenegger has done right.California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced today that the US state will celebrate Ronald Reagan Day annually on February 6.
Gov Schwarzenegger said the move was to acknowledge the former US president’s life accomplishments and his contributions to California.
Reagan – who was born on February 6, 1911 and died on June 5, 2004 – was governor of California from 1967-1975 before holding the office of president between 1980 and 1988. He was succeeded by George Bush.
Governor Schwarzenegger said: “With this legislation, we celebrate Ronald Reagan’s incredible legacy and his spirit of optimism. Our nation is stronger because of him, and it is important for future Californians to learn about and acknowledge the extraordinary work he did for the state and country he loved.”
On February 6, all public schools and education institutions will be encouraged to engage in exercises remembering the life of the former president, recognising his accomplishments and the contributions he made to California.
The Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission will be tasked with honouring and promoting the celebration of the 100th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s birthday on February 6, 2011.
And, the 100th anniversary should be quite the celebration. Tickets will be hard to obtain but I hope to cover the celebration.

Day by Day June 18, 2010 – Nanny State of the Nation
Day By Day by Chris MuirWell, Chris what do you expect from the Obama Administration? It is “hope and change” so keep hoping that they will change and do something right.Remember what President Ronald Reagan said:
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.'”
The BP Oil Spill Crisis is only becoming worse and worse from government inaction and incompetence.

Sarah Palin to Announce Presidential Campaign February 6, 2011?
Sarah Palin in Chicago last nightI think it is very probable and so do others.
Let’s face it folks, Sarah may not have had enough time to gain some experience but she is a better candidate to run against Obama than Romney, Huckabee or Pawlenty. Even if she loses to Obama, the others will certainly do so. Plus, she gains the presumed nomination in 2016 when she has a real shot at the White House.
I think Palin fears that waiting will also enable other conservative candidates like Senator Jim DeMint to gain a foothold and threaten her.
So, why not choose Ronald Reagan’s birthday next February 6th? There will be quite a party at the Reagan LIbrary.

Representative Elton Gallegly Appointed to Commission Honoring President Ronald Reagan
Congressman Robert Wexler (D- Florida) and Elton Gallegly (R-Simi Valley, California), ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Europe talking with Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou of the European Union
From the Press Release:U.S. Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA) was appointed to the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission today by House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio.
Gallegly authored the bill that created the commission and is the second person assigned to the 11-member commission. Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar was named to the commission in the bill.
“Elton Gallegly was instrumental to the creation of this commission and it’s terrific that he’ll be actively involved in the celebration of Ronald Reagan’s centennial,†said Frederick J. Ryan, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation.
The 11-member Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission Act will plan and carry out activities deemed fitting to honor Ronald Reagan on his 100th birthday, which falls on Feb. 6, 2011.
“I appreciate Leader Boehner’s appointment,†Gallegly said. “I look forward to working with my fellow commissioners to create appropriate activities to honor President Reagan and to celebrate his life and accomplishments on behalf of the country he loved.â€
The commission will make recommendations and provide necessary assistance for federal, state and local governmental agencies and civic groups to honor President Reagan. Such activities could include special stamps or coins. In addition, the commission will recommend to Congress activities to honor his 100th birthday, including the possible convening of a Joint Session of Congress.
In addition to Gallegly and Secretary Salazar, nine more members need to be appointed: President Obama will appoint four members; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will appoint two; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will appoint two; and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will appoint one. They have 90 days from enactment of the bill to make their appointments.
No federal money can be spent on the commission or its activities.
Gallegly’s bill attracted wide bipartisan support. The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent on May 20 and the House passed it on a 371-19 vote on March 9. President Obama signed Gallegly’s bill during a June 2 White House ceremony attended by Gallegly and former First Lady Nancy Reagan.
Previous commissions have been instituted to honor Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Abraham Lincoln.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is in Simi Valley, CA, Gallegly’s hometown.
I am looking forward to next year’s event at the Reagan Library. A gathering of conservatives, young and old, the world has probably never seen before.
Stay tuned…….

Day By Day by Chris Muir July 2, 2009 – Same Old Song
The same old song is like what President Ronald Reagan proclaimed: ” The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’Or, how about his one: “Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.”
Governor Sanford of South Carolina is a disgrace and should resign.
President Barack Obama is directing America in the wrong direction and should be defeated at the polls along with his cohorts in the Democratic Party controlled Congress.

And, thanks to Flap’s Congressman Elton Gallegly for sponsoring the bill in the House.
Now, this is bipartisanship and makes me proud, especially since the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is just a few miles from where I live.
