As we look around the country today, it’s easy to be discouraged. Unemployment remains high and the Obama Administration continues to stubbornly endorse the same tired policies that have been proven failures. But as we approach the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s worth remembering that there are lessons in the past that we should take to heart. After all, as Heritage President Ed Feulner pointed out Tuesday, even liberals have been working to co-opt Reagan’s legacy.

As we face today’s burdens, it’s worth remembering Reagan’s unflappable optimism about America’s future and the potential of its citizens. In a new video, The Heritage Foundation shines a light on that optimism and the conservatism that he championed.
