Dear Fellow American,
The radical Left has infiltrated our education system and is indoctrinating our children with anti-American values.
Our schools are teaching America's youth the falsehood that America is "rotten and racist" to the core...
...and they'll stop at nothing to turn an entire generation against the values that made America the greatest bastion for freedom in the history of mankind. They want to use our youth to destroy the country.
We have a chance to stop them-but I need your help today.
Ronald Reagan once said:
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction...It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Well, friend, today Reagan's warning is dangerously close to coming to fruition.
Leftists are rewriting American history to teach lies about our nation's founding, so that the next generation will hate their country and seek to undermine everything that made it great.
Your children and grandchildren are being taught that our country is founded on "racism and oppression"-not on individual liberty and freedom.
Here are just a few shocking examples of the Left's hatred for our country...
EXAMPLE 1: San Francisco's board of education recently voted to strip the names of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and other heroic American leaders from 44 of the city's public schools.
EXAMPLE 2: More than 3,500 public school systems have incorporated into classroom curriculum the New York Times' "1619 Project," which falsely teaches students that America is based on the irredeemable sin of slavery. More and more school systems are adopting this poisonous curriculum every day.
EXAMPLE 3: Critical Race Theory (CRT) is being pushed at the federal level. CRT indoctrinates students with an insidious racist ideology. It teaches kids that their skin color determines whether you are an "oppressor" or are "oppressed," that meritocracy is "racist," that America is a "deeply evil country," and that present discrimination is the only way to atone for past discrimination.
I could spend all day citing even more examples of the Left promoting hatred of our nation and her founding principles.
But friend, you and I both know that any country that teaches its youth to literally despise its history cannot survive.
I have good news though. There is a solution.
Ronald Reagan stated, "There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds."
Friend, no organization is doing more to enlighten young minds than the leading youth outreach organization for the Conservative Movement: Young America's Foundation (YAF).
You may have heard of Young America's Foundation as the organization that saved President Ronald Reagan's ranch home in Santa Barbara, California, and the Reagan Boyhood Home in Dixon, Illinois.
These are national treasures that we must share with more young Americans to inspire them to make a difference for our country.
Let me take a step back and tell you how your support of YAF will preserve America for future generations.
William F. Buckley noted "The reason one supports Young America's Foundation is that one supports one's country."
Your support will give high-schoolers and college students across the country the opportunities to participate in YAF's in-person, life-changing conferences and impactful conservative training seminars. You will help bring today's leading conservative speakers to our schools through YAF's leading campus lecture program. And you will help provide the very best conservative educational materials and resources to our young people.
Your support will help us raise a generation to become advocates for your ideas and leaders of the Conservative Movement.
Friend, America was founded on the idea that government answers to "We the People." Moreover, government has no other source of power except for "We the People." This brilliant idea is what makes America great...and it is the idea that will keep it great so long as it's passed down to future generations.
There is no better time to reach young people with your conservative viewpoint than now!! Here's how your ideas are advanced to new audiences through YAF:
- REACHING millions of students who have never been exposed to your conservative ideas before. YAF leads the entire Conservative Movement on YouTube Channel-the preferred news site of young people-with more than 550,000 subscribers to YouTube.com/YAFTV. And we've garnered more than 288 million views of YAF lectures and conferences that teach conservative ideas online.
- HOLDING SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE through our Campus Bias Tip Line, which empowers students to quickly reach out to us for help when confronted with left-wing threats, intimidation, or censorship at their schools. We've sued radical left-wing schools, such as the University of California, Berkeley, for shutting down conservative speech on campus AND YAF WON.
- HOSTING breakthrough YAF conferences and seminars that teach your ideas to new audiences. Just this summer, we hosted numerous high school conferences at the Reagan Ranch and the Reagan Boyhood Home; the National 23rd Highschool Leadership Conference; the 43rd National Conservative Student Conference in Houston, Texas, and many other conferences and seminars.
Young America's Foundation events are where impressionable young people hear your conservative philosophy for the first time from enlightening and powerful YAF speakers.
YAF introduces young audiences to the biggest names in the Conservative Movement through their leading campus lecture program.
YAF speakers are the most inspiring conservative voices in America. They include Ben Shapiro, Dr. Arthur Laffer, Katie Pavlich, YAF's Ronald Reagan Presidential Scholar and Vice President Mike Pence, Dinesh D'Souza, Lila Rose, Steve Forbes, Lt. Col. Allen West, Speaker Newt Gingrich, Michael Knowles, Dana Loesch, James O'Keefe, NFL star and Congressman Burgess Owens, Star Parker, Fox News's Jesse Watters, and many others.
Speaker Newt Gingrich wrote, "I have worked closely with Young America's Foundation through the years and have found their commitment to promoting balance, academic integrity, and free market values on campuses is unsurpassed."
Friend, we've reached the point where the Left's rewriting of American history poses a threat to freedom and liberty.
Last summer, coast to coast, we saw riots that engulfed cities. The lack of pride in America and violent riots are symptoms of the same disease: leftist indoctrination of an entire generation of young people.
Instead of learning about our nation's founding principles, generations of young Americans have been brainwashed into believing lies. Lies such as, "America was founded to protect slavery" and that "our capitalist system exploits the poor."
Yet, you and I have a great opportunity to reach students with the truth- but only if patriots stand with Young America's Foundation to reach future generations with our conservative ideas.
Your urgently-needed gift will help YAF re-educate an entire generation to adopt your conservative viewpoint. YAF will blanket the nation with our conservative speakers and student outreach programs to teach your principles of freedom to new audiences.
Schools are reopening as I write this - so your gift to save America's youth is needed now more than ever.
Even the Los Angeles Times recognized that Young America's Foundation's Reagan Ranch has "allowed the Foundation's reach to transcend generations."
Friend, our nation has reached a tipping point. For freedom to survive, you and I must fight for the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren.
I am proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with YAF in fighting for the hearts and minds of America's youth. Please give a kind gift of $25, $35, or $50 or more as soon as possible to ensure that your freedom philosophy changes the hearts and minds of future generations.
Keep Fighting for Freedom,
Governor Scott Walker
President, Young America's Foundation
P.S. Defeating the Left's lies about the Founding Fathers and America depends on what you and I do today. We must pass on our founding principles to new audiences eager to hear your conservative philosophy! And we must instill these principles in the next generation of students.
