Question: What author of the the "Read my lips: no new taxes" pledge was also a speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan?
Context: "Read my lips: no new taxes" is a phrase spoken by then-American presidential candidate George H. W. Bush at the 1988 Republican National Convention as he accepted the nomination on August 18.  Written by speechwriter Peggy Noonan, the line was the most prominent sound bite from the speech.  The pledge not to tax the American people further had been a consistent part of Bush's 1988 election platform, and its prominent inclusion in his speech cemented it in the public consciousness.  The impact of the election promise was considerable, and many supporters of Bush believe it helped Bush win the 1988 presidential election. The Ronald Reagan Trail is a collection of highways in central Illinois that connect villages and cities that were of importance to former United States President Ronald Reagan.  The trail was established in 1999 by the state of Illinois' General Assembly, five years prior to former President Reagan's death in June 2004.  The Reagan Trail was the brainchild of the late mayor of Eureka, Illinois Joe Serangeli.  A volunteer-run Reagan Trail Association maintained a web presence and promoted the trail for its initial years, but the board was dissolved in July 2016 and website transferred to the care of the Ronald W. Reagan Society of Eureka College. The Ronald Reagan Highway or Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway may refer to the following roads named after U.S. President Ronald Reagan: The Reagan Diaries is a published version of diaries written by President Ronald Reagan while in the White House.

He was one of the most prolific diarists of all the Presidents of the U.S.  An edited version of the diaries reached #1 on the "New York Times" Bestseller List.

"Stop the Madness" is an anti-drug music video uniquely endorsed and supported by United States President Ronald Reagan and the Reagan administration in 1985.  The video includes Claudia Wells, New Edition, La Toya Jackson, Whitney Houston, David Hasselhoff, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kim Fields, Herb Alpert, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Darrell Creswell, Tim Feehan, Casey Kasem and Boogaloo Shrimp from the "Breakin'" franchise.

Mrs. Reagan appeared twice in "Stop the Madness". During President Jimmy Carter's presidency, he nominated four people for four different federal appellate judgeships who were not processed by the Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee before Carter's presidency ended.  None of the four nominees were renominated by Carter's successor, President Ronald Reagan.  Three of the nominees who were not processed (Eugene Nickerson, Nicholas Bua and Howard F. Sachs) were nominated after July 1, 1980, the traditional start date of the unofficial Thurmond Rule during a presidential election year.  All four seats eventually were filled by appointees of President Ronald Reagan. Set in 1990, Jenny Brix lives in Iowa City.  She is a history buff.  She even has a Ronald Reagan picture when he was in his 20s as a lifeguard!  When she goes to a meeting, a very old professor has a heart attack.  Panicking, she uses CPR on him, thus saving his life.  After a few stops to the hospital, he asks her which US president she likes best.  She answers Ronald Reagan.  So then the professor tells her that she can go back in time and meet him.  She is shocked, but the professor keeps telling her it's true.  She finally believes him, sort of.  The professor takes her to Dixon, Illinois, Reagan's childhood home.  There the professor tells her she has 80 hours to stay out of the timezone, or her body will be used to the other timezones and can't come back to present day (1990).  When she goes into the time machine, it actually is set on 1832, instead of 1932 (where she was going).  She then meets Abraham Lincoln (who develops a little crush on her), and Chief Black Hawk during the Black Hawk War.  After all of that is straightened out, she goes to 1932 with less than half the time left she started with.  Once she gets there she sees a young, handsome Ronald Reagan going past her to save a person from drowning.  She then gets some friends, Scooter and Betsy.  They say there is a dance at Dixon's run down, old high school.  There she dances with Ronald and his brother.  While dancing with Ronald, she falls down the steps with him.  They then get a crush on each other.  After going on a few dates, she has to go to her original timezone.  She and Ronald have a sad exchange (Ronald doesn't know about the time traveling) when she has to leave.  Jenny then takes Scooter and Betsy to Lowell Park, where she shows them the time machine.  She then leaves, leaving the others dumbfounded.  When she comes back, professor says he is Scooter, and spent the rest of his life finding things about the time machine after she left until he finally made the time machine. Anthony R.
