From the Ronald Reagan Library in California to his birthplace, Tampico, Illinois, the celebration of the centennial of the 40th president's birth is underway. Reagan would have been 100 today, February 6.
Along with the official tributes and speeches, the late president is being remembered with books, souvenir jelly beans, concerts, a commemorative postage stamp and other events and products. The Republican National Committee has even asked supporters to "join in the Centennial Celebration by signing our birthday card to President Reagan." The e-mailed pitch for "a special gift of $25, $50, $100 or more" also invites people to maintain the Reagan legacy by "using the Twitter hashtag #Reagan100."
