YAL @ IU Bloominton and Indiana C4L Promote Ron Paul at Indianapolis Nullification Rally

Oct 19, 2010 at 9:06 PM

Four members from YAL @ IU-Bloomington and the leaders of Indiana's Campaign for Liberty attended a Nullification Rally in Indianapolis this past Saturday and promoted Ron Paul @ IU: The Case for Liberty. We fliered the entire crowd of approximately 200 people and put fliers on cars all over Indianapolis and postered the city as well. FreedomMakers, the sponsor of the event, was gracious enough to let me announce our Ron Paul event. Hopefully video from the event will be posted soon!

How to Manage College, Political Activism, Volunteering, Work, and Other Responsibilities, and Still Have a Social Life

I'm hearing from more than one of my good YAL friends now that you are struggling to keep up with all of your many responsibilities. It's true: most of the people I know in YAL are the brightest, most ambitious, hardworking, goal-driven, passionate, life-loving people I have ever met, and if anything gives me faith in this country and its future, it is knowing that all of you are going to be the ones running this country in the near future.

But in the meantime with studies, exams, work, hobbies, relationships, responsiblities, and obsessive political activism to secure our blessings of liberty to ourselves (hey- and our future children!) it is very easy to get burnt out. That is why I am a personal devotee to the techniques and habits of personal productivity "life hackers" -who emerged mostly out of the Silicon Valley culture as young, hip, super-hardworking geeks who wanted to get the most out of their life and work with minimum inputs and burnout.

UT-Austin YAL Chapter Educates Community about Gun Rights

Oct 14, 2010 at 12:01 PM

By Wesley Messamore

This is a powerful video playlist with a lecture by Dr. John Lott, author of the book More Guns, Less Crime. The lecture was hosted by the UT-Austin Young Americans for Liberty chapter which calls itself The Libertarian Longhorns. The lecture was especially powerful given the coincidental circumstances (a gunman killed himself on campus the morning of the day that this lecture had been scheduled- more background here and here).

If you want to learn some great facts and see a master at work defending gun rights, watch the video playlist below. It's definitely worth it. Grab some tea and some friends and make an event of it:

Operation Politically Homeless at UCF

Oct 14, 2010 at 8:28 AM

By Joshua Parrish

On October 13, students from the University of Central Florida chapter of Young Americans for Liberty began Operation Politically Homeless. Thanks to the support of Advocates for Self Government, we were able to reach out to the student body via the "Worlds Smallest Political Quiz." This was an excellent outreach tool and we were able to discuss the philosophy of liberty with many of our fellow students. Many students showed interest in learning more about our organization and even taking on an active roll in the advancement of Liberty.

By Jonathan Nebel

The great and wonderful Dr. Thomas E. Woods is coming to speak at Kansas State University this February 16th. We're incredibly excited about this opportunity to bring one of the most engaging and exciting speakers within the liberty movement to Manhattan, Kansas.

But, before we can do that, we need your help raising the necessary funds to bring in such a high-quality speaker. If you can only donate a few dollars, that would still be a huge benefit. Every little bit helps.
