Lee to Speak at Reagan Ranch to Commemorate
33rd Anniversary of the Economic Recovery Tax Act
Rancho del Cielo – Today, Senator Mike Lee will deliver a speech at the Reagan Ranch to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of President Reagan signing into law one of his first major economic reforms, the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.
In the speech, Lee argues that while Reagan’s legacy may be best remembered by what he accomplished in office, such as passing the Recovery Act, it was in the years prior to becoming president where Regan built the foundation for his future policy successes.
Today’s conservatives should adopt this lesson from Reagan, Lee argues, and develop a reform agenda based on conservative principles that addresses the most significant challenges facing America’s “forgotten families” today: immobility amongst the poor, insecurity in the middle-class, and cronyist protection at the top.
The speech will be streamed LIVE at 3:45 EST/12:45 PT via the Young America Foundation’s UStream page here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Young-Americas-Foundation
CSPAN will be recording the event for broadcast at a later time, TBD.
A full transcript of the speech will be available online at http://lee.senate.gov.
