John,

Insidious leftist ideology has taken hold of our educational
system.

It's never been more important that we expose it, because the
Left has lit an ideological fire, and that fire is now consuming
the minds of young Americans, burning itself through the most
aspects of American culture and politics.

That's why it's of utmost importance that I hear back from you
today.

I'm no stranger to the authoritarian attitudes on campus; I
famously felt the brunt of it when conservative students invited
me to speak on the University of California, Berkeley campus.

Radical leftist groups like Antifa vowed to riot and cause harm
to others.






HELP US FIGHT THE RADICAL LEFT




The fear of violence from leftist agitators was so great that:

It cost $600,000 in security expenses and required hundreds of
policemen to ensure that agitators didn't disrupt or try to cause
violence at my speech.
The University shut down six buildings on campus during my speech
and erected concrete barricades (YES, a wall) to secure the
Berkeley campus.
For the first time in 20 years, the City of Berkeley voted to
allow the use of pepper spray against violent protesters.
In the end, police arrested nine leftists for trying to sneak
banned weapons into our event-with the likely intent to do harm.

It's no longer just about the Left trying to suppress your
conservative views on campus.

It's about using the threat of violence to silence the
conservative values you and I share.


Meanwhile, schools roll out the red carpet for leftists like
Angela Davis, Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Bernie
Sanders.

At Berkeley, taxpayer-funded school administrators tried to
derail my event from even taking place. They told me that they
didn't have a lecture hall available, which was a lie.

School administrators even cut the venue in half by not allowing
students to sit in the balcony-a dirty tactic to minimize
attendance.

The good news is the radical Left's attempts to silence me
completely backfired.

More than 600 students showed up, and we were able to host an
engaging and civil event. Then, OVER 10 MILLION PEOPLE watched my
speech online (that's more viewers than any of the major evening
newscasts).

This victory for the Conservative Movement would have never
happened if it weren't for the Young America's Foundation (YAF).

When Berkeley tried to illegally block me from coming to campus,
YAF sued the university — and won.

But the radicals who rioted and tried to incite violence at
Berkeley are relentless. Their stranglehold on America's
universities has not yet been broken.

Young America's Foundation has been an incredible partner in
making sure I am able to share our conservative values with
students on campuses across the country. In fact, I speak on
campuses exclusively through YAF because I know YAF has the
experience and leadership necessary to run the nation's leading
campus lecture program.

Today YAF needs your help.

Will you make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE contribution of $35 today to
ensure that YAF can continue to present speakers, including Dr.
Arthur Laffer, Katie Pavlich, Senator Ted Cruz, and many others
to high school and college students? Without you, the mission to
pass along our conservative values to future generations will
stall out.

Let me tell you a little bit more about what YAF does to advance
conservative ideas.

Speaking to an audience of Young America's Foundation students,
Vice President Mike Pence noted, "Since its founding in 1960, YAF
has been a xxxxxx of American greatness."

YAF valiantly defends the values we share by educating
impressionable young people who have been ideologically poisoned
by leftist propaganda for decades, by the very teachers and
professors they're told to trust.

YAF's team is the best at what they do. They are #1: the LARGEST
and MOST effective conservative youth outreach organization in
America.

Here's why:
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, including 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.
YAF teaches millions of students across the nation YOUR
conservative values through breakthrough conferences, training
seminars, and campus activism initiatives and activities. (In
fact, YAF is the only Conservative Movement organization that has
a full suite of conservative educational programs for high school
students!)
And YAF preserves and protects President Reagan's ranch in Santa
Barbara, California and Boyhood Home in Dixon, Illinois. They
saved these national treasures so young people can learn about
Ronald Reagan's lasting accomplishments.

No other organization reaches conservative students with
foundational American ideas on a bigger scale than Young
America's Foundation.

That's why I prefer YAF to be my sole sponsor for campus events.

They fight for the right to ensure alternative voices are heard
on college campuses. They stop campuses from being turned into
Leftist echo chambers.

I am glad I have YAF on my side and the side of the students.

But YAF can't do this alone.

As the Left continues to stoop to desperate new lows to silence
conservatives, it's become more important than ever that our
values are shared with the next generation of thought leaders.

We both know that the Left doesn't want a fair discussion of
ideas. But that's why YAF needs your help today. At any moment, a
scheduled event could get shut down by campus radicals or
administrators, and the YAF team must be ready to engage them on
a moment's notice.

Will you contribute $35 or more today so that YAF's rapid
response team will always be ready to leap into action the next
time leftists decide to shut down free speech and deprive
students of the chance to hear your conservative ideas?

John, a donation of $35 or whatever you choose does more than
you know.

The impact amplifying conservative voices will have on the future
of our country can't be overstated. I cannot encourage you enough
to consider giving to YAF today.

Partnering with YAF today is our opportunity to win a generation
that values freedom. I can't think of a better investment.

Ronald Reagan stated, "There is no better way to establish hope
for the future than to enlighten young minds."

I look forward to hearing back from you.

-Ben
