Nancy Reagan, Former First Lady, Dies 94

[Suzanimal]

Nancy Davis Reagan, wife of the late President Ronald Reagan, has died. She was 94.

The former first lady will perhaps be best remembered for her loyalty to her husband. She became fiercely protective of him after a 1981 assassination attempt, and later stood by him as Alzheimer's disease overtook him in his last years.

In a 1998 Vanity Fair article, she vocalized this loyalty: "When I say my life began with Ronnie, well, it's true. It did," she said.

During her White House years, she sponsored a major drug prevention crusade aimed at children and young adults. She toured the U.S. and other nations as part of her "Just Say No" campaign, traveling almost 250,000 miles.

As the first lady from 1981 to 1989, Reagan endured criticism for bringing high fashion and a lavish lifestyle to the White House in a time of recession. Some critics called her "Queen Nancy."

After her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1994, Reagan became an outspoken advocate for Alzheimer's research and formed the Ronald & Nancy Reagan Research Institute in Chicago the following

Well . . . she added some history to the Simi Valley debates at the Reagan Library of the last few elections -
she doesn't want to see the train wreck left by Priebus.

She was actually my First Lady twice. My dad was stationed in California when Reagan was elected governor.

R.I.P.

im not old enough so i'm not sure what she did to deserve such wrath from some here. Unless of course, she instructed Reagan to sell weapons to Iran.

Know any families affected by her war on drugs?

The pot-smoking Libertarians on here never know when to shut up. Drugs destroy a society.

I don't know if you are aware, but she never passed any legislation herself or made any rules. She was told to have a platform, and it was to encourage young people not to bend to peer pressure on drugs.

Most days I really like you, tod evans, but sometimes you go off the charts and it doesn't become you.

I do. But not so negatively affected as by the person's very addiction.

R.I.P., Nancy.

I am all too aware of the havoc her "platform" reeked on society as a whole, better than 90% of the folks breathing have a family member whose life has been affected by her "platform".

Addiction is no where near as bad as the "Just-Us" system we all endure and I credit Mrs Reagan personally with promoting that system from the highest pulpit in the land.

If you see things differently then maybe you should go back and read...........


[edit]

More peoples lives have been ruined by Mrs Reagan's "platforms" and programs than by Hitler and Mussolini combined.......

Nope,, Not at all..

He is 10X. Center.

The War On Drugs Had it's start with "First Lady" social issues... and grew the Police State and Prison industrial complex.

Not to mention the first "assault weapon" bans and background checks.

And her star gazing Voodoo does not impress me either.
She paraded that mindless shell around for years as something he was not (competent).. for her own purposes.

good riddance.

R.I.P., Nancy.

I've known people who overcame addictions, but overcoming the stigma of a lifelong felony record for being a gram or two over from a mere possession charge so the legal system can get their cut of the action is a bigger PITA for many.

This is not the place to express that. Sometimes it is better to just stop typing. Or start a new thread. No matter who it is, a person who dies is a child, parent, spouse, or sibling to someone and they should be respected. Even in silence.
