Even a week of Gipperporn can't convince Americans to put Reagan on $

3. You know the right-wingers are going to try to anyway....

They will do what ever it takes to push this reagan money through anyway.

[rfranklin]

4. You're correct (I won't say "right") because they have...

managed to enact various laws that the majority of Americans do not support, yet there are never any repurcussions.

[galadrium]

5. ok.. we shall call them wrong-wingers

6. I could really care less about this issue EXCEPT

That we already have good folks on our currency. The hell with replacing George Washington ($1) or
Thomas Jefferson ($2) or
Abe Lincoln ($5) or
Alexander Hamilton ($10)or
Andrew Jackson ($20)or
Benjamin Franklin ($100)

The folks on our coins are great too

Abraham Lincoln on the one-cent coin,
Thomas Jefferson on the nickel,
Franklin D. Roosevelt on the dime,
George Washington on the quarter, and
John F. Kennedy on the half-dollar coin

In the past 30 years there have been three one-dollar coins. The Eisenhower dollar was produced from 1971-1978; the Susan B. Anthony dollar was produced from 1979-1980, then again in 1999; and a one-dollar coin bearing the portrait of Sacajawea and her infant son was released in 2000.

That Leaves one bill that I could deal with Ron being on & really not give a damn about it . . . . .

Ulysses S Grant on the $50 bill. Here's a little snippet about Grant from an on line encyclopedia:

Though a successful general, he is considered by many historians to be one of America's worst Presidents and led an administration that was plagued by severe scandal and corruption. However historians also agree that the scandal was not Grant's fault. He had a corrupt cabinet.

Swapping Ron for Ulysses is, at worst, the devil for the witch . . . . Politics aside, 150 years from now, who knows how the history books will regard Ron- But it probably will not be as "one of America's worst presidents" . . . Whatever. They can have the $50, but don't mess with ANY of the other currency
