Friend,

Most Americans today have little to no experience with the horrors it brings
to a country.

When they think of socialism, they forget about the empty grocery stores, gas
shortages, propaganda, and secret police.

Let me introduce myself to you. I am Zilvinas Silenas, the President of the
Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), and I grew up in Soviet-controlled
Lithuania.

As much as I hate to say it, I am seeing the rise of socialism in America. And
I am terrified.

We must show the next generation what socialism can do to a country. I’ve set
a goal to raise $7,000 in the next 48 hours to supportFEE in the Classroom and
share the importance of liberty and free markets with students.

Will you support the next generation as they fight communism with a gift of
$15, $35, $50, or any amount? Click here to send your gift today >>>

Do you want to know what’s it like to grow up in Soviet-controlled Lithuania?
Let me tell you a story from my childhood.


On May 1, 1986, my family skipped the mandatory workers’ parade in Lithuania.
Instead of carrying around red carnations, red balloons, and red placards
denouncing the U.S. and the West, we went sunbathing at a local lake.

The lake was polluted with industrial runoff from a government-owned leather
factory, so swimming was out of the question. Still, the day was unusually
warm, so we enjoyed the sunshine, which is not so abundant in the northeastern
climes where Lithuania (then–Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania) sits.

What we didn’t know was that five days before, on April 26, the Chernobyl
nuclear power plant exploded, sending radioactive clouds westwards through
Belarus, Lithuania, all the way to Sweden and Norway.

You see, on May 1, we did not know. No one told us. In fact, until the
Scandinavians picked up elevated levels of radiation, most people in the Soviet
Union did not know what had happened.That’s how we were treated under socialism.

During the moment, that was a rare day of sunshine and fun — something that
didn’t happen often under Soviet reign. But it was still contaminated by the
broken ideology that swept over my home country.


These are not the stories politicians and the media want the next generation
to hear. But your generous support will help FEE bring our pro-liberty and
pro-free markets message directly to students.Click here to spread the
pro-liberty revolution in classrooms across the nation >>>

FEE in the Classroom is a unique program held in brick-and-mortar and virtual
classrooms across the country that teaches young Americans the principles of
free markets, individual liberty, and limited government. Students engage with
FEE’s faculty of acclaimed instructors through compelling lectures, exciting
economic experiments, engaging group discussions, and Q&As.

When students complete FEE in the Classroom, they walk away with a new
appreciation for the freedom we have in this country.

Right now, socialism is gaining popularity with the next generation because
celebrities, politicians, and the media tell them it’s the“right” or “moral”
choice.

But FEE in the Classroom is telling them the truth about the values of liberty
and free markets.

Can I count on you to support FEE in the Classroom and support a student?
