Colorado Springs to School Board: Vote for Reagan!
Vote to name the new northeast elementary school set for August 9th meeting
Washington, D.C. - The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project commends the efforts of the residents of Colorado Springs School District 11 who have called on their school board to name a new elementary school in honor of Ronald Reagan. With a vote set for August 9th, it is critical that the people of the school district continue to rally school board members in support of naming a school after the former president.
District 11, the oldest school district in Colorado Springs, currently has 39 elementary schools, including schools named after George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. A poll released by Gallup on February 18, 2005 shows that Ronald Reagan is the most popular president in history, a sentiment that has been echoed by subsequent surveys and national competitions; however, Ronald Reagan has not been acknowledged as other great Americans have by Colorado Springs.
“I applaud the efforts of the school district’s residents to name one of their new schools in honor of Ronald Reagan,” Grover Norquist, chairman of the RRLP stated. “His unwavering support of democratic principles and the free-market guided our nation through turbulent times. I encourage the residents of School District 11 to continue their efforts to ensure that the school board votes to name the elementary school after this American hero.”
President Reagan’s tenure was characterized by defeat of the Soviet Union and the promotion of freedom and prosperity throughout the world. As our nation’s 40th president, Reagan advanced democracy and free-market principles across the globe, resulting in unprecedented progress during one of the most turbulent periods in our nation’s history. Reagan’s forward-thinking foreign policy was mirrored by a bold domestic agenda that cultivated robust economic growth and individual empowerment across America.
The RRLP is committed to preserving the legacy of one of America’s greatest presidents throughout the nation and abroad. Grover Norquist, chairman of the RLLP, is available for interviews regarding Ronald Reagan’s legacy and the group’s projects. Please contact John Kartch at (202)-785-0266 or jkartch@atr.org.

Colorado Springs Urged to Honor Reagan
National group commends efforts to name elementary school for former president
Washington, D.C.- The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project urges Colorado Springs to help preserve Ronald Reagan’s legacy by naming a new elementary school in his honor. Residents are encouraged to recommend the former president’s name on the school district website before the April 14th deadline.
America’s 40th president fought to implement democracy and defeat the Soviet Union in the turbulent 1980s. He was commended by the American public for being a patriot possessing great moral character, strong values, and unwavering patriotism. Beyond his defeat of communism, Reagan is responsible for raising American morale in a period of disillusionment and enacting pro-growth economic policies.
“I commend efforts to dedicate the northeast elementary school in honor of Ronald Reagan,” Grover Norquist, chairman of the RRLP stated. “His legacy is one of patriotism, dignity and strong moral character. I encourage citizens and leaders at every level of government to follow honor our former president’s memory with dedications.”
District 11, the oldest school district in Colorado Springs, currently has 39 elementary schools. Now, efforts are underway to name two new schools, one to be built in the northeast part of the district, in the Wagon Trails neighborhood, and one to be built in the Cimarron Hills neighborhood in the southeast. Colorado currently has a highway dedicated to Reagan in El Paso County. There are over 74 dedications to Reagan worldwide, 68 of which are in the United States.
The RRLP is committed to preserving the legacy of one of America’s greatest presidents throughout the nation and abroad. Grover Norquist, chairman of the RLLP, is available for interviews regarding Ronald Reagan’s legacy and the group’s projects. Please contact John Kartch at (202)-785-0266 or jkartch@atr.org.
