“Together, we accomplished much of what
was come to be known as the Reagan Revolution.”
President Ronald Reagan

“On the matter of your lecture series, these are experiences of infinite importance. As recently as last night, a 42-year old affluent influential
conservative told an audience of 400 people that his orientation came from hearing such a talk (yes, by me) at Cornell when he was a sophomore. So I do hope that your important Foundation will be able to continue to support such appearances in the years ahead.”
William F. Buckley

“I have found no more effective comeuppance to the pretensions of our left-wing gurus than the Young America’s Foundation wall poster featuring Reagan’s predictions of the collapse of the Soviet Union. I look forward to many more such ten-strikes from the Young America’s Foundation.”
Nobel Laureate Dr. Milton Friedman

“I continue to be heartened by the work of the Young America’s Foundation. The
caliber of the young people participating in your events and conferences is unparalleled. These young men and women are proof positive that the best is yet to come for our country.”

“[Young America’s Foundation] is a special group because you adhere closely to the words and philosophies of my modern-day political hero, Ronald Reagan. I admire the spirit of this great organization. You all have made significant contributions promoting free enterprise, individual empowerment, smaller government, and greater freedom. It is so encouraging to see young people like you who are committed to advancing ideas that have a positive impact
on people’s lives.”
Governor George Allen

“Your program to place on campuses conservative men and women is invaluable. Who else will teach them that Americans are different than our ivory-towered friends, that America desperately needs their strength in this battle for our soul? Thanks to Young America’s Foundation, the foot soldiers of our cause are receiving the inspiration and direction so tragically lacking on the campuses.”
Bay Buchanan

“No institution has done more to introduce college students to the traditions of faith, family, and freedom than Young America’s Foundation. You should be proud of what you have done to insure this nation has a future as good and glorious as its past. I am honored to be associated with you.”
Pat Buchanan

“The plan of the Young America’s Foundation to use the Reagan Ranch as a focal point to teach young people about the principles that Ronald Reagan holds dear is an important educational mission. That educational mission will further the cause of free enterprise, lower taxes, limited government, traditional values, and a strong national defense. Young America’s Foundation is truly a leader in teaching the importance of faith and freedom.”
Vice President Dick Cheney

“By holding national and regional conferences, sponsoring conservative speakers on college campuses throughout the nation, and training students in the principles of freedom, Young America’s Foundation plays an important role in determining the future of our great country.”

“The Reagan Ranch Center will be more than a museum. It will be a vibrant educational center where the ideas of Ronald Reagan are taught to the future leaders of our nation...a schoolhouse for Reaganism.”
Charlton Heston

“In the generational battles over ideas, Young America’s Foundation has been an indefatigable warrior, promoting the eternal values of individual freedom and free enterprise which have been at the core of the American experience.”
Secretary Jack Kemp

“The role of Young America’s Foundation in counterbalancing the liberal bias on many college campuses is vital. Students are bombarded by activist professors espousing liberal views on issues without students hearing today’s problems. Through the summer conference, bringing conservative speakers to college campuses across the country, and providing literature to students, Young America’s Foundation helps promote alternatives to the prevailing liberal orthodoxy of many college faculties.”
Senator Trent Lott

“I don’t think it is possible to overstate the importance of what Young America’s Foundation has done, and the importance of the Reagan Ranch, because that ranch is unique both in terms of historical importance and in terms of symbolism…It is Rancho del Cielo, the Reagan Ranch, which will continue, thanks to Young America’s Foundation, to be an enduring tribute to the outstanding leader that we all know and to a truly great American.”
Attorney General Edwin Meese

“Thanks to your great work, tens of thousands of students have been exposed to the ideals that guided our founders in designing our unique and superior form of government.”

opportunity for today’s youth to learn more about conservative ideas, leadership and personal responsibility. The baton of leadership will soon be passed to the next generation and you are helping to prepare them well. It is a great service to them and to our country’s future. President Reagan’s beloved Rancho del Cielo...is truly inspiring. Thank you and Young America’s Foundation for preserving the ideas and principles of President Reagan.”
Governor Tim Pawlenty

“For twenty years the Young America’s Foundation has played an important role in promoting the ideals of free enterprise, constitutional government and individual freedoms among this nation’s youth. You may be proud of the many fine traditions established by this organization.”
Vice President Dan Quayle

“I commend Young America’s Foundation for promoting Ronald Reagan’s message of individual freedom, strong national defense, free enterprise and traditional values. Your program instills in our future leaders the principles of Ronald Reagan’s leadership, and the calling of every American to keep our great nation strong and secure.”
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

“If America is to survive as a free and prosperous country, somebody has to tell our young people that the emperor stands before us naked. Young America’s Foundation is doing a yeoman’s job in bringing speakers to college campuses to deliver that message.”
Dr. Walter Williams

“Whether it is in defense of freedom, our traditional moral values, or the free enterprise system, Young America’s Foundation teaches these beliefs to future generations. I have worked closely with young men and women trained by your programs, and these fine young people are examples to their peers and society as a whole.”
Bob Dole

“Young America’s Foundation has been a refuge for students seeking an alternative to the politically correct environment enforced on many campuses. I know the conference will send you back to your campuses better informed, motivated and trained. Your work is vital to the future of the nation.”
President Ronald Reagan
