Friend,

Do you know how I was introduced to the ideas of Ayn Rand? It took me longer
than I’d like to admit.

When I was in high school, my teacher assigned a project where you were to
read everything an author had written. I read Mark Twain, but a friend of mine
read all the Ayn Rand novels. Unfortunately, I ignored her presentation and
missed the point, but I remembered Ayn Rand’s name.

In college, I would discuss free market ideas with other students. They kept
on saying I must have readAtlas Shrugged or that I was an Objectivist. This
happened so often that I decided to investigate.

So, I went out and read Ayn Rand’s novels and other writings.

After that, I understood why people thought I was promoting Rand’s ideas.
Because I was! I just didn’t know it yet.

While it took me until college to first read about Ayn Rand’s philosophy of
Objectivism, one organization is finding innovative ways to introduce her ideas
to the next generation at an earlier age — The Atlas Society.

They are bringing the ideas of Ayn Rand to new audiences through various
vehicles, including animated videos, social media, virtual and live events, and
graphic novels.

I told the CEO of The Atlas Society, Jennifer Grossman, that I would help her
raise $30,000 online this week to provide graphic novels for even more students.
Every $10 raised helps them distribute 5 new graphic novels.

Can you please send an urgent donation of $10, $50, or even $100 to The Atlas
Society and help them bring these crucial novels to a new generation?

Ayn Rand’s works reminded me of what was at stake.

What really hit me were the bad guys in Rand’s novels. They weren’t
over-the-top villains. They were the ones who wanted to mess with the lives and
businesses of the productive and place the blame for the consequences on
capitalism.

I have met many John Galts, but I have also met plenty of Ellsworth Tooheys.
Those men are real, and their envy-ridden ideology is what we need to fight.

The best way is to introduce the next generation to the moral case for
Capitalism, to provide them with a guide to life that celebrates the remarkable
potential and power of the individual.

The Atlas Society has plans to distribute 75,000 copies of their graphic
novel versions of Ayn Rand’sANTHEM and Red Pawn this year — and increase
distribution to 100,000 copies next year.

And with your support, they can reach that goal! Please rush your support
today to help The Atlas Society distribute more graphic novels to young
Americans.

They say that politics is downstream from culture, then what is culture
downstream from? Philosophy!

Without a moral philosophy based on reason, achievement, individualism, and
freedom, the next generation will continue to embrace a culture of
irrationalism, entitlement, victimhood, collectivism, and resentment.

That’s why it’s so important to adapt Rand’s works into a medium that appeals
to the next generation. When I was a teen, 70% of my peers read books every day
for fun —today, only 12% do.

By contrast, comic sales have increased by nearly $300 million since 2011 and
today represent a domestic market worth over $1 billion. Over half of those
sales are graphic novels. The Atlas Society jumped on that trend, recruiting
top Marvel Comics illustrating talent and bringing Rand’s literature to life
with vibrant art and action.

Ayn Rand’s works reinforce that our fight is on principle. They teach us that
everyone should be free to pursue their understanding of the virtuous life
limited only by the prohibition of using force against others.

If you have read Rand, then you are well prepared to have your freedom
attacked by those who wish to control the lives of others.

Your generous support will help The Atlas Society get Ayn Rand’s moral ideas
to more students by distributing copies of these graphic novels at Comic Cons,
libraries, and homeschool groups. Please click below to donate today.
