what u think? I think theres too many Democrats so it wont happen.

They tried to do that already and it didn't work. People didn't vote for it then and they aren't going to vote for it now. You can't just "replace" a president who's been on a coin since it was first stamped.

Yeah, it has nothing to do w/ those ****ing commie liberals... its just a stupid ****ing idea...
sort of like naming an airport after someone who fired all the air traffic controllers... its just plain silly.

Reagan's face should be placed on every baggy of cocain found!

You can't take out FDR, but Hamilton can go. Maybe they could come out with a 50 cent piece or a commemorative dollar or something, ala Sacagawea. Something more temporary.

Forget it, we all hated his Alzheimer's *** anyways, right?? He caused 9-11 after all right??

President Reagan was one of the most popular Presidents of all time, however I think his Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Ca is a great memorial to him, and it is going to be his final resting place. Leave the money alone.

They're trying to rename the Pentagon after him...

Nothing will go through.

Enough already...

From http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in621963.shtml

"Besides paper and metal, Reagan advocates have long pushed to see their champion honored more widely in stone. Butler said there are now some 54 highways, schools, post offices and other memorials to Reagan around the country, but that still pales in comparison with the more than 600 for Kennedy and more than 800 for Martin Luther King.

Up to now, the biggest victories have been the renaming of Washington's National Airport after the 40th president and the opening in Washington of the Ronald Reagan Building, the second largest government office building after the Pentagon. Last year the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan was commissioned.

In Bakersfield, Calif. there is the Ronald Reagan Elementary School (home of the Patriots). In Yuma, Ariz., there is the Ronald Reagan Fundamental School, and there's the Ronald W. Reagan Middle School in Dixon, Ill., as well as a high school in Texas.

According to a list maintained by the University of Texas, a California state office building in Los Angeles and a federal courthouse in Santa Ana bear his name. His alma mater, Eureka College, has a physical education center and a "peace garden" named after him.

Still in the works is the idea of a monument to Reagan on the National Mall in Washington, deterred by a law — signed by Reagan — that bars new monuments until a person has been dead 25 years.

Similarly, it is the U.S. Postal Service's practice to honor a president on the first anniversary of his death. There's a 10-year waiting period before other deceased personages can get a stamp.

Then there is Mount Rushmore.

It will take a long time to study the geophysical and artistic feasibility of that project, Butler said. But "is he great enough to be on Mount Rushmore? Yes."
