Dear Friend of Life, I know I cried a little last Saturday. Ronald Reagan had
passed on to the next life. He was my hero. Ronald
Reagan will be remembered as one of the 20th century's greatest
presidents. Over the past few days, I heard a lot about the end of the
Cold War, his ability to speak to the American people and his long
career in the public eye. But as you and I know, he has been routinely defamed by the
liberal press, and vilified for his principles, particularly for his
commitment to Life. Then I heard one commentator explain that Reagan really
didn't emphasize issues like abortion. I was stunned. Reagan was
unabashed in his defense of innocent life.
You and I know that it was the character of the man, the Reagan heart, which showed through; the
principles that Ronald Reagan
stood for is what defines him as an American
hero. Now, even after his passing there is a concerted effort to "excise" Ronald Reagan's
strong pro-life message from the history of his administration.
There are individuals--even Republicans--who either didn't
understand or chose to oppose this great man's commitment to the
founding principles of our Republic and the pre-eminence of
"the right to life" as the structural foundation for sound
and just government. We see such opposition in efforts to change the Republican
Party Platform, and in the advancement of candidates that aren't
pro-life. We now have a strongly pro-life President in the White
House. We have the opportunity to be proud of the party of Lincoln,
and to be once again thankful and proud that we are Americans.
George W. Bush believes that principles--not polls and
personalities--should guide government. He believes that the right
to Life is a core principle of our nation's government. Ronald Reagan is the only President to publish a book while
in office. That book, Abortion
and the Conscience of the Nation, had gone out of print...but
with the prodding of Judge William Clark, former chief of staff to
Governor Reagan, former National Security Advisor and Secretary of
the Interior, we have re-issued the work by President Reagan.
Judge Clark, whom Edmund Morris, the official Reagan biographer,
has called the "man spiritually closest to Ronald Reagan,"
has added his own essay to the President's. And our own Brian Johnston explains the
significance of Ronald Reagan's commitment to Life as it has been
reflected in all just governments throughout history. The
right to life is not a new idea. We want Ronald Reagan's message to be remembered, and we want
to help restore the policies he advocated. We have received numerous requests for this work, but wanted
to make sure you had a chance to get one, while supplies last. As
