College YR’s, and their libertarian brethren, the Young Americans for Liberty, can be a great resource for us. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to get to the national and regional leadership. I think I’ve got it.
In Oregon I cold emailed the YR President at UO and got a response. I’m following up, and hope to be able to arrange to meet the members. I’d do it in conjunction with the Larson show and a trip to Salem to meet legislators and staff. I think I can get these kids all fired up on Article V, and the BBA. I’ll be asking them to translate their enthusiasm into hard work for Oregon state legislative candidates. If it goes as well as I hope, I’ll ask the tendentiously named leader, Caleb J. N. Huegel (I’ve got to get him to drop either the “J” or the “N”) to talk to his regional or national YR leaders. The goal is to get the whole college YR movement actively involved. This could work.
I’ve got a plan for the YALers too. I’m going to ask Sen. Marv Hagedorn in Idaho to invite the Idaho State Chairman of the Young Americans for Liberty, Dane Gower of Idaho State, to testify before the Idaho House or Senate Judiciary Committees. He’ll be backing our resolution, talking about how his generation is the one that’ll be picking up the tab on all this bullshit. I’m pretty sure we could get some local TV coverage. If the kid looks good, sounds good, it would be a great boost for him, personally. Hell, I wish I would have had a chance to do something like that when I was his age. Anyway, the idea is for him to tell his YAL regional and national leaders all about it, and how Article V is so kick ass.
This could work.
