Ernest Angelo shaped history, helped launch Reagan's Presidential bid

Today, the Texas Public Policy Foundation held a breakfast honoring Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday anniversary. Reaganite and all-round Great American Ernest Angelo from Midland was a speaker. I firmly believe that had it not been for Ernest Angelo and Texas in 1976, Reagan may not have become President.

I had the privilege of working on the 1980 R/B campaign for Ernie Angelo and Rick Shelby.

It was thanks to Ernest Angelo who had the courage to buck the Republican establishment and support Ronald Reagan. The rest is history. I hope Angelo writes a book so we can know more of the details. Ernest Angelo had courage.

“There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.” – Ronald Reagan
