Dear Morton,
With your help, I started a conservative newspaper on my campus in 1986, then went on to intern… at the Reagan White House.
Although I hardly think it’s necessary, I want to make sure I pass on my hope that you will vote for Harmeet Dhillon

It was an honor to support Harmeet Dhillon (

She told me later we must engage young voters and bring them into the GOP through our Committees. I agree wholeheartedly — and have been recruiting/training young conservatives since the 1960s.

She’s a Republican star, a Wonder Woman of many talents and unbounded energy.

There’s a lot of media interest, re: RNC Chair race. Reporters are asking an important question:
