  • The Declaration of Independence
  • The Constitution of the United States of America

Viewings
  • A Time For Choosing (AKA "The Speech") -- Ronald Reagan's address to the 1964 Republican National Convention in support of Barry Goldwater (30 min.)
    [This is the speech that started the Conservative Revolution and brought Reagan into the national political spotlight. While the statistics are dated (and boring), the values expressed are the heart of conservatism.]
