Reagan money fight rekindled
Bills propose late president for 50-cent piece, $20 bill.

WASHINGTON -- Unfazed by a failed attempt to place Ronald Reagan's image on the dime, federal lawmakers plan to introduce today a flurry of competing bills placing the image of the 40th president of the United States, who died Saturday, on the 50-cent piece and the $20 bill.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R- Huntington Beach/Long Beach, who served as a Reagan speechwriter for seven years, said he will introduce legislation today replacing former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

Jackson is "not standing up to the scrutiny' of time, said Rohrabacher, and he has no qualms about replacing America's seventh president.

That won't settle well with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Republican from Tennessee, who wants to keep Jackson on the currency.

"Obviously, folks in Tennessee view Ronald Reagan as having accomplished so much for this generation of Americans, he deserves a much higher denomination than the $20,' said Bob Stevenson, Frist's spokesman.

Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., will introduce legislation to place the likeness of Reagan on the half- dollar coin, replacing John F. Kennedy.

I knew this crap was going to happen. Now we get to look forward of the naming and renaming of everything Reagan. And the truth is, unlike all the crap that comes when someone want's to name something after a black, these will come damm near automatic ................... INCLUDING A HOLIDAY.

AND REMEMBER PEOPLE ............. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO EXPENSIVE ON AMERICA TO GIVE MLK HIS OWN DAY ......... remember that garbage. :devil2:

Oh great, they bring this up now before he is buried so that legislators would be more sympathetic for this legislation and pass it! I think an airport named after him is sufficient.
 
I am calling my Black Represantive to tell them if Reagan picture even go a penny then Martin Luther King should go on some currecny also.

It has already started. Here in Louisiana, they have already passed Legislation to Change the name of Hwy 190 from Baton Rouge to Slidell after Reagan.
 
And I'll bet the same people that make the sarcastic jokes and crude statements when the same is done for a prominant black are stepping over each other to be the first to sign on.

They wanted to add the name Medgar Ever's to the Jackson International Airport .................. YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE "BAITING" LETTERS AND COMMENTS COMMING OUT OF THE SURROUNDING "WHITE" METRO'S AND BURB'S TO THE CLARION LEDGER. :xeye:
 
And if it does pass, ya'll are still going drive that stretch of the highway, spend the twenties, fly outta the airport and etc. :rolleyes:
 
That's not tha point SLT.

The point is, these same people always come up with excuses and snide remarks when "we" want to honor someone that's "special" to us .............BUT WE SUPPOSED TO FEEL THEIR PAIN WHEN IT HAPPENS TO THEM?

Again .......Like I said in my FIRST POST on the other thread, I HATE A LIFE IS GONE ................ but don't expect me to feel any pain.

Heck ......... still drive that streach and still fly out if they have white names is not the point. Hell there are PUBLIC SCHOOLS STILL NAMED AFTER KNOWN RACIST'S, what we gonna do ....................... KEEP OUR KIDS AT HOME? No ................. your gonna drop them off and hope they get an education in spite of the name.............. and that's just one example EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO.
 
I could care less about a photo.

Reagan meant nothing to me personally and I ain't gonna sweat it. So, say what you wanna.

I do too .............. but being sarcastic and snide about naming thing's for minorities and acting like it's GOD's plan when "the shoe is on the other foot" pi$$es me off. It's just one example.

Statement's like "All of America thinks he's the greatest President" tell's me that the millions and millions that don't think this don't count.

Again ............ I'm not trying to clown this man now or diminish the job he held.

I don't think anyone is looking at it as a personal thing or what Reagan meant to them. Everyone is just tired of being stepped over with BS excuses.

Reagan meant pretty much nothing but hard times to most people. So why do we want to put him on money like he has done something great when there are other people that could be honored and it taked teeth pulling to get anything for MLK. Why are they fighting so hard now to honor him. I bet they try to put that cat on Mt. Rushmore one way or another.

D, I know that when they said all of America, that it DID NOT include me.

That just like Kenneth Stokes saying HIS WARD agrees with his antics!

I know that's a lie because I don't agree with nothing that FOOL does! :smash:

I believe that, and I do believe that all things done for the wrong reason never work out. I am a firm believer in fate. You can better believe that if he was a part of the good old boy culture, his last ten years on this earth was HELL! You are gonna pay now, later, or both.

White people are gonna do what white people want, but it always comes back and bite them in the azz. EVERYTIME!!

Prime example is the state of our country today. That underhanded crap never works out. :cool:
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: @SLT

Now don't make me :slap: you now. :bawling: :bawling: I AM KENNETH I. STOKES!! :whine: :whine: :angry: :angry: :splat: :splat: :D
 
I don't want to give his face to a foine skripper at the nudey bar! :redhot:

And if he's on the $20, wouldn't that make it MARKED FOR DEATH? We NEED $20's. $20's BEFORE NEW DEFECITS! $20's BEFORE NEW DEFECITS! $20's BEFORE NEW DEFECITS! $20's BEFORE NEW DEFECITS!
