Some Ronald Reagan supporters really, really like Sarah Palin.

Young America's Foundation -- a conservative group that bought Reagan's ranch in Santa Barbara to use as its headquarters -- announced that Palin will keynote a Feb. 4 banquet opening its year-long celebration of the Gipper's 100th birthday.

Former vice president Dick Cheney, meanwhile, will keynote a closing weekend banquet on Feb. 5.

"I am very excited to have been selected to address Young America's Foundation's Reagan 100 dinner," Palin said.

"Young America's Foundation has been sharing the values of President Reagan with young people for more than 40 years, and there is no organization more committed to preserving freedom's future."

YAF organizers said Palin will reflect on Reagan's "seminal speech:" The remarks he made during Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign, entitled "A Iime for Choosing."

Goldwater lost in a landslide to Lyndon Johnson, but Reagan's speech -- nationally televised at one point in the campaign -- earned him many conservative admirers.
The former Hollywood actor won the California governor's race in 1966, served two terms in Sacramento, pursued the presidency in 1968 and 1976, and finally won the White House in 1980.

YAF is one of many groups commemorating Reagan's centennial; the actual 100th birthday is Feb. 6.


Also from Young America's Foundation...

Vice President Dick Cheney will also headline the celebration weekend and deliver the keynote address at the closing Reagan 100 Dinner Banquet on Saturday, February 5 at the Reagan Ranch Center.

On Saturday night, the celebration weekend will close with a screening of Young America's Foundation's first film production, Still Point in a Turning World: Ronald Reagan and His Ranch.
The film, directed by Stephen K. Bannon, addresses the importance of the Ranch as a representation of the values of the President and the urgency of passing those values on to the next generation.

The weekend's festivities will include a series of panel discussions on Ronald Reagan's lasting accomplishments as well as his important role in the future of freedom in our country.

Panels will feature an array of scholars, writers, artists, and luminaries, including Reagan authors Lou Cannon, Peter Schweizer, Craig Shirley, and Lee Edwards; best-selling novelist Brad Thor; Reagan intimates and former Secret Service agents John Barletta and Dennis LeBlanc; artist Steve Penley; renowned filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon; Reagan administration alumni Frank Donatelli and Michelle Easton; as well as Young America's Foundation President Ron Robinson, Director and author Wynton Hall, and Vice Presidents Kate Obenshain and Andrew Coffin.



These special events kick off an entire year-long celebration of President Reagan's life ideas and his relevance for today's times.

The weekend is part of Young America's Foundation's Reagan 100: Freedom's Future initiative, celebrating the leadership of President Reagan and how important his vision is to the future of freedom in our country.

During the birthday weekend, select members of the press are invited to observe the birthday weekend festivities and tour the Reagan Ranch -- Rancho del Cielo -- where President Reagan spent nearly a year of his Presidency.

Who controlled the House during Reagan's presidency? That would be Democrats. Who controls the purse strings? That would be the House.

Please educate yourself in basic civics.
