On Students For Liberty: “For nearly two years, Students For Liberty has given me the opportunity to advance the cause of liberty and become an integral part of the student movement. My life’s direction would be completely different were it not for this organization. Because of SFL, I have been able to successfully organize a strong student movement at my school and throughout the entire state of Texas. The student movement is strong and growing stronger with every passing semester. Our passion, enthusiasm and intelligence far outweigh our counterparts of both the left and right, and that is due directly to the efforts of SFL. Our partner organizations and individual supporters have likewise played a pivotal role in ensuring the growth of a free academy and a free society. For that reason, I am proud to work with Students For Liberty and build upon an excellent tradition of changing the hearts and minds of young people one student at a time.”
