Click on the links below to download the fliers.   Freedom Week 1 Freedom Week 2 Freedom Week 3 Freedom Week 4                                                                                                                                      24 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, America’s youth face a new wall we must break through: the federal government's job-killing policies. Just like the East Berliners and those trapped behind the Iron Curtain suffered from the oppression of big government, so do young people suffer today from big-government policies. These policies are the new wall between young people and freedom. You can fight back by celebrating Freedom Week on campus! Freedom Week commemorates two important dates: the fall of the Berlin Wall and Veterans Day. This year, remember these days by standing for the ideas behind them. Young people must fight for financial freedom, or we will be indentured to the government for life. We must also stand with the men and women who risk it all for America’s liberty. You can: Tear down the Berlin Wall on Friday, November 8 to observe the November 9 anniversary when millions were freed from government oppression when the wall came down. Have World Freedom Day and Freedom Week recognized on campus. Educate your fellow students that President Reagan brought real “hope” and “change” when he defeated communism. Schedule a screening of the film, The Conservatives or Still Point in a Turning World: Ronald Reagan and His Ranch. Teach freedom to students. Stand-up for the military and America's veterans.                    Schools participating in Freedom Week 2013 include: Ave Maria University Bentley University Binghamton University Bridgewater Raritan High School Boise State University Cal Poly State University California State University - Bakersfield California State University - Channel Islands Canyon High School Christian High School Clemson University Colorado Northwestern Community College Cornell University Delta College Dickinson College Duquesne University Franciscan University The George Washington University Grosse Pointe North High School Grosse Pointe South High School Highland High School Hillsdale College Illinois Wesleyan University Indiana State University Indiana University Iona College  Lehigh University Liberty High School Loyola University Marion High School Marymount University Miami Dade College Monte Vista Christian School Moreno High School North Carolina State University Northside High School Northwestern University Oak Park High School Ohio State University Ontario Christian High School Oregon State University Palm Beach State College Pepperdine University Portland State University Purdue University Riverbend High School School of the Ozarks Stony Brook University Southern Lehigh High School Syracuse University Trinity Classical Academy University of California - Irvine University of California - Los Angeles University of Illinois -  Champaign University of Iowa University of Mary Washington University of Missouri University of North Dakota University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire University of Wisconsin - Madison University of Illinois - Springfield Vidalia City High School Washington and Jefferson  Western Illinois University Wheaton College Whitt Academy Winona State University Wooten Lincoln Club Youngsville High School

·         Your Next Campus Initiative: Celebrate Ronald Reagan

Posted by Patrick Coyle

Ronald Reagan is considered one of America’s greatest presidents. Sadly, college and high school faculty and administrators rarely share an optimistic or uplifting view of Ronald Reagan. Furthermore, many assigned text books attack Ronald Reagan and his presidency. One widely distributed text book, A History of the U.S., describes Reagan’s presidency as "budget-busting, criminal-ridden, [and] trigger-happy." A leading national guide for teachers calls Reagan "a cheerleader for selfishness."

President Reagan, in many of his speeches, often touched on the importance of individual freedom, limited government, and free markets and even warned against political correctness.

Now, you can easily post fliers or distribute leaflets featuring quotes by President Reagan. You may want to obtain one of the following books: In the Words of Ronald Reagan by his son, Michael Reagan, or The Quotable Ronald Reagan by Peter Hannaford. In addition to posting flyers, your club may choose to:

·         Show a screening of YAF's film, Still Point in a Turning World: Ronald Reagan and his Ranch

·         Host a table in the student union to distribute literature on President Reagan

·         Schedule a film festival showcasing President Reagan’s most popular speeches

·         Celebrate him with a party for your club members

 You can also  download  free fliers to distribute! Students, contact us to receive your free copy of our movie, Still Point in a Turning World and your free Reagan posters as well.
