"There are cynics who say that a party platform is something that no one bothers to read and it doesn't very often amount to much. Whether it is different this time than it has ever been before, I believe the Republican Party has a platform that is a banner of bold, unmistakable colors, with no pastel shades." –Ronald Reagan, 1976 Republican National Convention
When Ronald Reagan was called to the podium by President Ford during the 1976 Republican National Convention, he had no prepared remarks. But the unrehearsed speech he gave that night is still regarded as one of the most moving speeches of his political career. The reason he was able to give such a powerful speech on a moment's notice was that he was proclaiming the core principles of his heart and soul, which he had been teaching and preaching for years.
The New Reagan Revolution reveals new insights into the life, thoughts, and actions of the man who changed the world during the 1980s. The challenges and threats we face today are eerily similar to the conditions in the world before the beginning of the Reagan era. The good news is that we already know what works. Ronald Reagan has given us the blueprint. This book is not merely a diagnosis of our nation's ills, but a prescription to heal our nation, rooted in the words and principles of Ronald Reagan. In these pages, you'll find a plan for returning America to its former greatness, soundness, and prosperity. It's the plan Ronald Reagan developed over years of study, observation, and reflection. It's a plan he announced to the nation, straight from his heart, one summer evening during America's 200th year. It's the plan he put into action during his eight years in office as the most effective president of the 20th century, and it is the plan we can use today to help return America to its former greatness, soundness, and prosperity.

Review
“Ronald Reagan brought America back from the brink of economic ruin and tossed the Evil Empire into the dustbin of history. That is why I call him, with true reverence and the highest of esteem, Ronaldus Magnus. Now his elder son, Michael Reagan, has written the definitive book on Ronald Reagan's vision and achievements. He writes from a close-up perspective no other conservative can match. My friend, Michael Reagan has given us the blueprint for a new Reagan revolution--and he has given Ronald Reagan back to us again. Read it, learn it, live it, love it!” ―Rush Limbaugh, the #1 radio talk show host in America
“Ronald Reagan issued a call to arms and led a revolution against those who claimed that America's best days were behind her. He restored our crumbling economy and collapsed the Soviet Union. Today, Michael Reagan calls us back to Ronald Reagan's principles, which saved America once―and can do so again. The New Reagan Revolution is a practical agenda for refreshing the tree of liberty and returning America to her constitutional roots. This book tells you what you can do to preserve the legacy of freedom for your children and grandchildren. Read it―then live it.” ―Mark Levin, talk show host and New York Times bestselling author of Liberty and Tyranny
“From a perspective of Ronald Reagan that no one else can offer, Michael Reagan not only shares with us poignant, revealing stories about his father, but takes us inside the mind of the man who inspired a rekindling of America's founding ideals and with them a reawakening of the American spirit. Even better, Michael shows us how the application of these timeless principles can lead us to overcome the most difficult challenges we currently face as a nation -- challenges that are strikingly similar to those Ronald Reagan confronted and conquered.” ―David Limbaugh, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crimes Against Liberty
“Michael Reagan, the elder son of the greatest president of the 20th century, has written the Reaganite roadmap for restoring America's greatness. Only Michael Reagan could have written a book which embraces the full range of Ronald Reagan's intellect and spirit, from his unyielding toughness at Reykjavík and Berlin to his deep compassion for the oppressed. He shows us how to apply the timeless principles of Reagan conservatism to the fast-changing world in which we live. Must reading for every true conservative.” ―Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House
“Who better than Michael Reagan to explain to us how Ronald Reagan is not only a great man of history but also a visionary for our future? The New Reagan Revolution is a must read for those who are interested in our past and worried about what tomorrow might bring. Bravo!” ―Peter Schweizer, author of Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism

Excerpt from Chapter Thirteen
Ever since the death of my father, Ronald Reagan, on June 5, 2004, I mark that date every year by visiting his grave at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. My wife Colleen goes with me and she leaves a white rose at his grave.
In the years since my father died, I’ve traveled across America, speaking before different organizations, talking to thousands of people and hearing them express their love and admiration for Ronald Reagan. Some have told me their favorite stories about my dad, or shared with me what his presidency meant to them. Wherever I go, people give me the hugs they wish they could give Ronald Reagan, and I’m reminded of the way my dad and I used to hug every time I visited him.
Generosity was basic to my father’s character. Both as a governor and as president, he personally responded to many letters from constituents. People would tell him they couldn’t pay their electric bill, and he would write them a check from his personal account, no questions asked. Once, when a man wrote saying he didn’t own a suit for his wedding day, Dad took a suit from his own closet and sent it to him.
A mother once wrote to President Reagan and told him her young son had been working hard at his schoolwork. My father wrote back and enclosed a personal check for $100 to start a college fund for the boy. Later, when he discovered the check had not been cashed, he contacted the woman and she said her banker told her not to cash it because the signature was worth more than the face value of the check. “Go ahead and cash it,“ Dad told her. “When it comes back from the bank, I’ll have the canceled check mailed to you.” Dad ordered his staff to keep these acts of generosity secret. He believed that if you did good works to gain publicity, you’d lose God’s blessing for those works.
There’s something my father did on a regular basis that I’ve never seen mentioned in any of the books, articles, or news stories about his life. Dad always spent Thanksgiving with his family at the ranch, but he almost always spent Christmas at the White House. Why? Because he was thoughtful toward his Secret Service detail. He believed that the agents who protected him should be home with their families on Christmas Day, so he always spent Christmas in the White House.
That little fact says so much about Ronald Reagan’s character. It was little acts of thoughtfulness and kindness like that which made the Secret Service love him. Dad had a special relationship with the Secret Service that few other presidents ever had. The Clintons were famously abusive toward the Secret Service, sometimes demeaning the agents’ professionalism by sending them on trivial errands as if they were servants. But the Secret Service agents absolutely loved my dad.
Whenever Ronald Reagan flew on Air Force One, he would always have a few kind words for the flight crew. He never disembarked from the plane without leaning into the cockpit and telling the crew, “Thanks, fellas!” My dad was a genuinely nice guy who was always thinking of ways to brighten the day for those around him.
I remember going to visit Dad when he was deep in Alzheimer’s, and he scarcely recognized anyone--yet in so many ways, the gracious character he had exhibited all his life still defined him. I entered his room, and a Secret Service agent was with Dad, spoon-feeding him. As I stepped into the room, the agent took a step back so that I could come closer and greet my father. But just then, Dad reached out and grasped the man’s arm. He raised it to his face and kissed the agent’s hand. There was gratitude in my father’s eyes--and there were tears in mine.
The irony is that while so many presidents affect empty gestures and pretend to be something they’re not, Ronald Reagan--the professional actor--was the real deal as President and as a father. The Ronald Reagan you saw on the nightly news was the same Ronald Reagan who took me to the ranch and taught me how to mend fences and ride a horse. He was the same Ronald Reagan who taught me about life and honor and integrity. He lived out his private values in his public life.
One thing even Ronald Reagan’s opponents had to admit was that he was totally honest. His word was his bond. If he said it, you could bet your life on it. In July 1981, Ronald Reagan promised Democrat congressmen that if they would support the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, he would not go to their districts and campaign against them in the next election. As a result, many Democrats stood with him and passed ERTA-- and Ronald Reagan kept his pledge.
In 1985, Ronald Reagan pressured the Soviet Union to release five dissidents from prison. The Soviets agreed-- but on one condition: The United States could not announce the release. It had to be done in secret so the Soviets wouldn’t appear to be caving to U.S. pressure. The prisoner release would have been a huge public relations coup for the Reagan administration-- but Ronald Reagan kept his word. The Soviets released the dissidents--and the United States kept mum.2
Dad also kept his word to my sister Maureen. It was no secret that Mau-reen and Dad were on opposite sides of the Equal Rights Amendment. Maureen was for it; Dad was opposed-- not because he opposed equal rights for women, but because he believed women already had equality under the Fourteenth Amendment. Maureen’s outspoken support for the ERA had not helped Dad’s standing with women during the 1976 campaign, so in 1980 Dad offered Maureen a deal: If she would stop talking about the ERA during the campaign, he would appoint a woman as his first Supreme Court nominee. Maureen agreed-- and Dad appointed Sandra Day O’Connor in July 1981.
Mikhail Gorbachev once called Dad a “true leader, a man of his word and an optimist.” Demo crat senator John Kerry once said, “Even when he was breaking Demo crats’ hearts, he did so with a smile and in the spirit of honest and open debate. The differences were real, but because of the way President Reagan led, he taught us that there is a big difference between strong beliefs and bitter partisanship.... He was our oldest president, but he made Amer-ica young again.”3
America needs a Reaganesque leader once more-- a leader whose honor and integrity win praise from friends and adversaries alike. When our lead-ers do not keep their word, America suffers. Today, America is led by a president who promised us transparent government, an end to earmarks in spending bills, no lobbyists in his administration, no recess appointments, a net spending cut, no tax increases on the middle class, elimination of government programs that do not work, a secure border, closing of the detention facility at Guantv°namo within a year, the airing of the health care debate on C-SPAN, and placing all nonemergency legislation on the White House Web site for five days before signing. He has not kept even one of those promises.
Barack Obama gets a pass because Americans have become cynical and no longer expect the truth from politicians. It’s been a long time since Ronald Reagan was president, and many Americans have simply forgotten that he was not like other politicians. He didn’t lie to the American people. He didn’t pretend to be something he was not.
One of my father’s biographers wrote a book called President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime. The title is misleading. Ronald Reagan didn’t see the presidency as a “role.” He was probably the most genuine and sincere occupant of the Oval Office in our lifetime. That’s why he would never take off his suit coat in the Oval Office-- he deeply revered that office, the presidency itself, and all of the presidents who went before him. He was an intensely devoted student of history, and he knew what that office meant.
We’ve lowered our standards about what is acceptable in our culture, in our media, and in the Oval Office. I think a lot of the coarsening of our culture can be traced to the Year of Lewinsky, 1998, when the American president wagged his finger at us and said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.... These allegations are false.” When that statement turned out to be a lie, the Democrats defended him on the grounds that “everybody lies about sex.” So it became okay to lie to the American people and lie under oath-- as long as it’s about sex.
Now, when Barack Obama’s promises turn out to be as hollow as a piv±ata, does anybody call him on it? Nope. Nobody, not even Democrats, expects him to keep his word. We have dropped our standards. We now settle for leaders who lie.
That’s how far we’ve drifted from the Age of Reagan.

Ronald Reagan believed in the greatness of America, read this and help our country remain great
By Alain B. Burrese
I had mixed feelings at times while reading "The New Reagan Revolution: How Ronald Reagan's Principles Can Restore America's Greatness" by Michael Reagan with Jim Denney. The book has a Foreword by Newt Gingrich and is also endorsed on the cover by Rush Limbaugh. Therefore, you can tell right now that if you are a liberal, die hard democrat, or just someone who leans that way, you are not going to like this book much. Unless you are reading it to learn more about conservative principles that Ronald Reagan stood for. If you are a conservative, you are going to enjoy this book much more. I think most people will figure that out by the cover, but wanted to make it clear that if you like this book or not will really be decided by your political views.
Most people that know me also know that I really respect President Reagan, and that I had an opportunity to spend thirty minutes one-on-one with him, discussing a variety of topics. I've also met Michael Reagan at one of his speeches, and enjoyed the speech and the short conversation with him. So why mixed feelings about this newest book of his? Parts I really enjoyed, and other times I felt he went a bit too far with the bashing of democrats and liberals. That's why.
It is a well researched book, with many pages of footnotes and references for those that want to check on the topics in the text. And to be fair, Michael Reagan's criticism is not strictly party line. He criticized republicans in this book too. And while I understand pointing out what you believe is wrong with some beliefs and policies, I enjoyed the positive aspects of the book about President Reagan much more. Also, once must remember that this book was written by President Reagan's son, and rightfully so, Michael Reagan places his father on a pretty high pedestal. If that bothers you, you might not like this book.
The parts of the book where Michael Reagan tells stories about his father, and shares his beliefs and views, I really enjoyed. These are the parts of the book that I hope people read and learn from. I also liked the motivational message encouraging everyone to get involved with our country's system, whether it be at a local level, or higher. The few times that I did not enjoy the book as much were when the author was bashing democrats and liberals and some of the policies and things they have done. It's not that I agree so much with the liberal policies, because I am more conservative and independent. (I agreed with Barry Goldwater when he voted for a Democrat in Arizona because he was the better candidate on the ticket. I too look for the best candidate, and usually side with the conservative based on fiscal matters.) I just felt that some of the liberal bashing was not productive, and I do not think President Reagan would have been as harsh. I remember asking President Reagan about President Clinton, because I met him in January of 1993, right before President Clinton took office. President Reagan said nothing negative at all, but said we would have to see how President Clinton could work with congress for the good of our country.
I don't like how divided the parties have become, and how it seems like there is more time and money spent on defeating the other party that building our country. That is why I didn't like some of this book, because I felt it added to this division, rather than encouraging a bridge to bring the country back together.
Overall, I liked the book, especially for the insight into President Reagan's beliefs and views, and the stories about him. I'd like to see more people follow the model he set, and I hope people will take those positive messages from this book and act on them as Michael Reagan encourages people to do with his action steps at the ends of chapters. Ronald Reagan believed in the greatness of America, and I hope people can recapture that and work together to make sure our country remains great.

Worthwhile read. Insider look into the soul of a great leader.
By J. Wunderly
Well written book that shares little known insight into one of the greatest leaders of our time. Michael clearly states his Dad wasn't perfect, but he boldly led and absolutely believed in freedom for all, and in the American ideals. a must read for today.

Great mix of personal stories and conservative philosophy
By Joseph DeSantis
What sets this book apart from the litany of conservative tomes are the personal stories about Michael and his father mixed within Michael's explanation of conservatism. There is great insider information in here, including a violent conflict between Michael and Charlie Black, Ronald Reagan's campaign manager in 1976 and during the beginning of Reagan's 1980 campaign. It really shows the divide within the Republican party at the time that many younger politicos may not realize. It shows that even while President, conservatism was a minority within the Republican party and the degree to which the Reagan camp was considered a thorn in the side of the Republican establishment.
Michael's experience with his father also gives him a mature outlook for conservatism. Michael talks about times when his father was willing to take half a victory rather than none at all, and how this was born out of a confidence that conservatism would be victorious in the long term, not in any disloyalty to conservative ideology. Michael also describes the importance of building coalitions on issues, even if these new partners disagree with you on other issues. This is a bracing juxtaposition against the "purist" movement in conservatism now where ideological purity is more important than a willingness to get things done.
