Since 1913, Americans have seen the portrait of former General and President Ulysses S. Grant on the front of the $50 bill.  However, on March 2nd, Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) announced the introduction of H.R. 4705, a bill that would rework the design of the $50 bill to add Ronald Reagan's face.  To read more about Congressman McHenry's bill, click here.

The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project is supportive of this effort that would add Reagan to our currency.  To see RRLP's press release supporting Congressman McHenry's bill, click here.

"Having President Reagan's image on the $50 bill will keep Ronald Reagan's memory and achievements fresh for generations to come."   -Grover Norquist

If you would like to join RRLP in supporting the placement of Reagan's picture on the $50 bill, please consider contacting your Member of Congress and asking them to co-sponsor and vote for H.R. 4705.

I think it would be great to have a modern-day President on our currency!

I agree with Caitlin. When you file for bankruptcy they should have obama's photo on the forms.

I love how ATR, a supposed small government group, constantly supports spending government money to rename everything after Ronald Reagan. How much did it cost WMATA in D.C. to rename the airport after Reagan? Quite a bit. But the second government would raise taxes to finance such a project, you'd scream "pledge violator." ATR is the epitome of hypocrisy. By the way, I hear UPS is wanting to impose more regulations on FedEx...better go sellout to them. Oh wait, it's FedEx that's willing to pay more. Better go to them. No wait...UPS. Let the bidding begin. Kind of like using taxpayer dollars to build a Jefferson Memorial, something Jefferson's principles would be opposed to.

I don't think it's going to really cost anything to put Reagan on the $50. It's just a matter of changing the print. Then again since the government is in charge it might end up costing a bunch-load. And out of all things the government does, renaming something doesn't cost as much as the million other things that our government is wasting our money on. I agree though about the jefferson monument though. Should never have been funded by taxpayers

Consider the government currently: It is expansive and invasive. We contribute much of our income to it. In doing so, we pay for all of the pork and waste of bureaucracy. Government workers are notorious for downtime and massive inefficiencies. Essentially, we have many people doing the jobs of a few. This is why I am against raising taxes. When government spending is efficient, effective, and uninvasive perhaps cutting spending will be a bad idea. Until then, I would argue the minimal work require to name things in honor of Reagan requires no tax hikes. Let's actually put our public servants to work and not let them feast on our tax dollars.
