Palm Beach State College YAF: This is What Happens When You Pass Stupid Laws

Formed in 1960 on the estate of William F. Buckley, Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is the nation's first, largest, and most recognized conservative youth organization.

In 1962, Ronald Reagan joined YAF's National Advisory Board, because he believed it was necessary for conservatives to stand up and fight for their beliefs.

Later President Ronald Reagan accepted the position of YAF's Honorary National Chairman, an honor he often referred to during his speeches to YAFers.

That was then. This is now.

Today, YAF is known sometimes as the "green berets" or "special forces" of the conservative movement, YAFers are committed to fighting for the values and princples that make our great nation. We remain unquestionably faithful to our founding document the "Sharon Statement." And we identify, recruit, train and educate young Americans everyday so they can "Carry and Pass on the Torch of Freedom" for all future generations.

While other groups organize another poorly attended meeting, YAF organizes the protests, writes the press releases, fights the leftist adminsitration, and meets the lawmakers -- all before dinner. We are conservatism at it finest.

The backbone of YAF is the local chapter organization. Whether campus or community-based, YAF chapters make a difference through petitions, protests, activism, debates, publications and the hundreds of other ways YAF fights for conservative values and principles.

"Thank God for the young Conservatives. As adults, their constant vigilance will be necessary to guard against covert intrusion by Progressives who are always waiting for opportunistic, unprincipled quests to undermine the standards endorsed by our Founders...[T]hese young patriots are well on their way to becoming our hope for the future. Their ventures to promote conservative ideals are praiseworthy and promising. Our hopes for a better tomorrow are the aspirations of our youth today." - Genevieve at "The Bold Pursuit"
