Next year is the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth

From Michael Zak:

In his first speech after the election, Barack Obama compared himself (quite favorably) to Abraham Lincoln, the greatest Republican of them all. Soon, we can expect Obama to claim that Ronald Reagan would have voted for him.

Democrats can steal our Republican heritage only if we let them.
As Lincoln never forgot, the Republican Party was established to oppose the pro-slavery policies of the Democrats: "The Republican Party, on the contrary [to the Democrats], holds that this government was instituted to secure the blessings of freedom, and that slavery is an unqualified evil. [Republicans] will oppose, in all its length and breadth, the modem Democratic idea that slavery is as good as freedom."

"Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. US HAVE FAITH THAT RIGHT MAKES MIGHT, AND IN THAT FAITH, LET US, TO THE END, DARE TO DO OUR DUTY, AS WE UNDERSTAND IT."

Lincoln made sure to conclude the Republicans' Emancipation Proclamation: "I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God."
And, it was President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) who proclaimed the last Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving Day.

By honoring Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and other Republican heroes at events throughout 2009, you can help the Republican Party get Back to Basics.
