A couple Wake Forest YAL members are out abroad working on campaigns this summer. Nathan Fox-Helser is working on Mike Vasovski’s campaign, while I (Jared Fuller) am the Volunteer Coordinator for Adam Kokesh’s Exploratory Committee.
It really is amazing what the youth can offer campaigns; the field of liberty candidates really does need us!
Take for instance our tech-savvy attitudes. I recently donated to Adam Kokesh (yes, it was just a little) and uploaded it as my facebook picture. It may not be the most direct form of activism but that, coupled with our ability to engage others to do the same, is what really makes the difference.
So get out there, be a part of it! However you can!
Just a short 5 days after hosting Ron Paul on campus, Wake Forest Young Americans for Liberty went down to the Charlotte branch of the Federal Reserve to rally against the Federal Reserve banking Cartel. We’d prefer to not slow down at the semester’s end; we hope you won’t either! Oh, and also, Bernanke hitched a ride down there with us as well — in his proper attire, of course.
Additionally, check out our sweet T’s we printed up just for the event! Yeah, we’re staying hardcore to the movement.
Wow! What an amazing event! I cannot even begin to describe what a massive success hosting Ron Paul at Wake Forest University was on April 20th, 2009. Really, you had to have been there. The event went off without a hitch (well, except for the bulb blowing out on the projector during the premier of National YAL’s cursed “I Pledge” video — lol –) and even Dr. Paul himself was taken aback by the energy, the support, and the success of the event. He stated when seeing the large crowd and standing ovation: “You’d think a campaign was going on!”
Here are some pics from the event:
You can watch the entire video to the event online here. More to come soon!
On the infamous tax day, Wake Forest Young Americans for Liberty hosted a demonstration and petition against the bailouts, so called “stimulus” packages, and the harmful income tax imposed on the American people by the IRS. This was all a part of the much larger Tax Day Coalition.

In other news, really good news, the Wake Forest YAL’s progress on Congressman Paul speaking at Wake on April 20th, 2009 is speeding away. YES! Weekly recently published their latest edition with some advertisement for our event; it’s in one of the gallery photos above. One of the other photos is our chapter making some balloon posters for the event; indeed, it is going to be a blast!
We’ve been busy spreading liberty, we hope you have and will continue to do the same!

So recently it was the anniversary of the Shock & Awe Campaign. March 20th, 2003 the United States began their invasion of Iraq and there has been very little new media coverage of the anniversary. Wake YAL, however, was not sitting silent on this day. Check out the youtube video and write up on the YAL national Site here:
I just wanted to say thanks to all the participants in the diversity week debate held by Student Government. Although the turnout could have been better, I must say that I was rather pleased with the overall results. Each time we addressed a topic, it came in the form of a solid argument that neither the College Dems nor Reps could contend with. As for the rebuttals, well, let’s just say we pretty much owned them. Take for example our closing rebuttal on marijuana legalization, the drinking age, and finally the Federal Reserve. I think the consensus was that the Federal Reserve system is about as known to mainstream debate as leprechauns are to Eskimos–the Reps and Dems are left out in the cold on such topics and we showed them where the truth doth lay. Liberty wins, statism gets pwned… What n00bz, pshh. (Oh yes, I did just use gamer slang)
Jared Fuller, Andrew Butler, and Nathan Fox-Helser all traveled to Washington D.C. this weekend to call the GOP back to its roots and volunteer for Young Americans for Liberty at CPAC. The event went off without a hitch and the presence of YAL and Ron Paul was undeniable. In fact, a Google news headline read the other day covering the conferrence “Ron Paul Takes Over CPAC.” What a weekend for the liberty movement it was!
