Constitution Day (Eve) on University of New Hampshire with the Young Americans for Liberty

By , on September 20, 2011

The Young Americans for Liberty Chapter at the University of New Hampshire were out and about on Friday the 16th of September in recognition of the United States Constitution Day. Nick Murray, the chapter's leader, and a few other students from UNH's Y.A.L. chapter had a giant wooden board painted with chalkboard paint on campus.

UNH YAL Brings Ron Paul to Campus

By Kevin DeAnna, on March 29, 2011

The University of New Hampshire Young Americans for Liberty chapter brought Ron Paul to campus on Thursday, March 24.  He attracted a crowd of more than 550 people.  The event created national headlines and dominated the news on campus.   

The group gathered signatures for months before the event in order to show that there was a great deal of interest.  They promoted the event aggressively and created materials specifically designed to create interest on campus.  

Not every group can bring a speaker as prominent as Ron Paul.  However, every conservative or libertarian campus group can use the same kind of political technology to make your speaking event a success.  Make sure to follow these steps which are too often ignored:


1.  Secure an appropriate venue.  An ideal venue is one that will be filled to capacity.  Be realistic -- if you are not bringing a famous speaker, pick a smaller room.  

Make sure you follow all the guidelines that your campus demands in order to legally book a room.  That said, do not be intimidated.  If you sense that your campus is deliberately trying to prevent you from hosting the event or if their general incompetence is delaying your event, contact your Regional Field Director.

Saluting Our Soldiers: Emily O'Neill, "Always Defend the Constitution of the United States"

By Piyali Bhattacharya, on November 12, 2010

This week, CampusReform.org is honoring Veteran's Day by highlighting ROTC programs, profiling student veterans, and more. Have your own ROTC or Veterans Day story? Share it in the comments!

In honor of Veteran's Day, I spoke with Emily O'Neill, a recent graduate of the University of New Hampshire and a proud member of the United States Army. I talked with Emily about her experience in ROTC, how it shaped her character, and why serving our country is so important.

Emily's motivation is clear -- and it's a message she wants to share with other students: "Never forget the founding principles of this great nation. Whether you are a member of the service or a civilian, always defend the Constitution of the United States."

Emily entered an ROTC program as a UNH freshman. "I decided to serve," she explained, "because I wanted to develop myself as a leader, serve my community in time of need, and continue my family’s tradition of service to the United States. My father served in the military as well as both of my grandfathers, and I knew that the military could provide the unique personal development that I was looking for."

Students Don’t Wait Until College to Get Involved

By Bethany Francis, on September 20, 2010

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union..." This is not only the beginning of our United States Constitution, but it was also the beginning line for an event held by the New Hampshire chapter of Young Americans for Freedom in Merrimack, NH.

Earlier this week the president of this chapter, Anna Parker, called and invited me to attend their Constitution Day event on September 18.  I wasn't sure what I expected to find when I arrived, but I was inspired when I learned that all of the members of this chapter were between the ages of 14 and 17.
