YAL is Starting a Movement
yaliberty.org

All your life, you've know that there are two parties when it comes to politics: Republican and Democrat. At first, it seemed like the two were polar opposites. Republicans were the more conservative, pro-gun, Christian party while Democrats were the progressive, equality, "none"-religion party.

But now the truth comes out.

As you grow older, you realize that the two have a lot in common. They hide their true intentions. They're both shady. Neither party wants what's best for America. But you have to choose the lesser of two evils every election cycle, right?

That couldn't be further from the truth.

The Libertarian Party is a growing party. It's a party that wants to stay out of your bedroom and stay out of your wallet. The LP follows three simple rules:

1. Don't hurt people

2. Don't take their stuff

3. Mind your business

Sounds perfect, right? Less government overreach, more power to the individual. But how will people know about libertarianism when Republicans and Democrats have consumed all of the limelight?

That's where Young Americans for Liberty comes in.

Young Americans for Liberty is a national campus organization focused on recruiting, educating, and mobilizing students through libertarian philosophies using educational activities that leave a lasting impact.

What kind of activities? Free speech campaigns, Visualize the Debt, Defend the Constitution, Bring Our Troops Home, and so many more.

YAL launched Operation Win at the Door last year in an attempt to push for libertarian candidates to be elected into state legislatures. As of right now, there are 38 victories. The goal is 250 victories by 2022.

How big is Young Americans for Liberty? Oh, not too big. Just over 300 university chapters and over 2,500 active members nation wide. YAL is growing and growing fast. Will you join the movement to #MakeLibertyWIn?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
