Ron on the Rock
A report on the activities of our Committee for Monumental Progress.
(Page 2 of 2)
Please join these and other grateful citizens in our ambitious plot to put President Ronald Reagan both onto Mount Rushmore and further into the parlors of enlightened debate. Write your Washington representative today, even if he is under indictment or about to resign. Initiate support groups. Spread public awareness. Raise your neighbor’s consciousness. The Committee for Monumental Progress is asking for your help. But remember: we don’t need your money, we need your sympathy.
The whole world is watching.
David Shanahan is the executive director of the Committee for Monumental Progress.

Ok, but not before FDR or JFK.
Even Nixon has a greater legacy than Saint Ron.

Gentlemen:
There really is NO additional rock at Rushmore suitable for carving---I have been out there and observed this myself. But, if I may make a modest proposal: There is rock available in Monument Valley in Arizona, which, given its place in Hollywood history, would be a perfect place to make a monument to a sui generis President.

Canuckistani,
how about a monument to Bush 41 with inscription,
"Read my Lips, No New Taxes"
HW lied more than Nixon and Clinton rolled into one.
Dave Shanahan| 2.10.13 @ 10:28PM
Um, did you read the piece? No carving is advocated. A "Mr. Potato Head" approach is recommended.
