IMPACT MAGAZINE ———- SPRING 2026 PREVIEW

Pacific Research Institute: The latest issue features America’s 250th anniversary through profiles of historical figures like Benjamin Rush and R.C. Hoiles, while advocating for free-market healthcare and criticizing California’s policy landscape. The issue further highlights American culture through the influence of Sarah Josepha Hale and provides critical analyses of state leadership and economic policies.

PRI, in celebration of America’s 250th birthday, has produced a series of videos and supplemental lesson plans for teachers highlighting the achievements of some of this country’s, and California’s, in particular, greatest unsung heroes. Three of my favorites have been compiled in the pages that follow. The first profiles one of my heroes, Benjamin Rush, a physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Another features R.C. Hoiles, a free-market newspaper publisher whose son-in-law Dick Wallace served on the PRI board until his recent passing. Hoiles, a great defender of liberty, built a large group of newspapers around the country including the popular Orange County Register.

And we also honor Sarah Josepha Hale, a poet, author, and visionary force in American culture. She championed Thanksgiving until it became a national tradition and holiday. Through her magazine Godey’s Lady’s Book, she helped to shape American tastes from beloved recipes to the white wedding dress.
