Norm at UT-Austin reports:
"At UT-Austin, we had a lot of success handing out our materials when we combined them with free pocket-Constitutions. That worked REALLY well. We gave away ALL we had and many more that we have had with the Libertarian Longhorns group. About 1/4 of the giveaways resulted in new emails, but everyone who got one received a YAL flyer plus a homemade insert about our Facebook groups and next meeting.
We didn't receive any harassment but also didn't get any significant media attention. However, ABCNewsOnCampus came out to talk to us about Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. We had a nice interview with them. The Daily Texan (student newspaper) came out and took some pictures as well. We will have videos for you forthcoming."
As a 1971 graduate of out great university, I can empathize with your efforts. My first year on the campus, 1966, was a constant bombardment by SDS'ers wanting me to condemn the Viet Nam war. Then, as now, the truth was always twisted to fit the need. Focus on getting out the truth about our history and the hate and destruction of the progressives who have gotten a stranglehold on education. Good luck and keep up the good work. I will look for you the next time I visit the campus.
