Option 2: Opposition to Reagan Memorial

In your letter you must include what you consider problems with Reagan’s economic, social, and political policies while in office, both in his domestic and foreign policy. Additionally, address some of the negative outcomes with the end of the Cold War era.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word letter that includes paragraphs on what you see as his domestic and foreign policy failures and his economic, social, and political missteps.
