Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum Collections and Programs Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:05:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Chris http://fdrlibrary.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/public-programs-news-and-events-2/#comment-915 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:51:04 +0000 http://fdrlibrary.wordpress.com/?p=1981#comment-915 I hope the panelists will use their time to inform the majority of Americans about all the good and beneficial things FDR did, instead of concentrating (as many FDR Library panelists seem to do) on the fault they can find with FDR’s presidency.

Most Americans under the age of 70 have no clue what FDR did to benefit this country and the American people. They know he is considered a top president, but they couldn’t tell you, if their lives depended on it, five important things FDR did to help America.

The nation FDR created lasted for about 40 years — until Reagan, with the help of wealthy right-wingers — began to change the conversation about FDR’s many great achievements and turned those achievements into bad things.

The very wealthiest right-wingers in this country have been on a tear for the past 30 years in their zeal to destroy FDR’s legacy; it is up to the FDR Library & Museum to aggressively counteract that effort.
