NBC News - Rep. Ron Young, R-Painesville, introduced a resolution Monday requesting Congress to add the former president's image to the South Dakota landmark.
Reagan died Saturday at the age of 93. He was the nation's 40th president, and is credited with putting an end to the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
"During the years of President Reagan, America laid to rest an era of division and self-doubt. Because of his leadership, the world laid to rest an era of fear and tyranny," Young said. "I conceived this idea some time ago, and had this resolution drafted and ready to introduce because I can think of no better way to honor the Great Communicator than to have his image added to Mount Rushmore."
Wouldn't bother me a bit, but the Indians may have something to say about it. They're still upset about the last time we carved Presidential faces into one of their mountains.
You can rest assured, there would be protests.
Update:
Here's another option for honoring Reagan that's being considered.
I agree with James though. We should wait a few years before taking on projects like these. Reagan was a great President, but lets let the nation settle into life without him before we start building monuments and changing currency.
