Favorite President and Why:
President Ronald Reagan is my hero and is the reason that I am an advocate for disabled today. I have been an advocate for over 35 years, defending, advocating and protecting the rights of all disabled nationwide. President Reagan answered a 15 page letter that I sent him when I was in dire straits in 1983. I am disabled and had accident that further fax exacerbated my disability. President Reagan answered me personally, had all departments render assistance. I am a Reagan memo. I became a staunch Republican and have been one ever since.
