The Students for Liberty and their conferences.

[Loriem 639]

So, are there any of you bronies who know of and or are members of the international group "Students for Liberty", otherwise known as SFL?

 

What are they? They are mainly students from mostly colleges and High schools working to spread the ideas of Liberty and/or Libertarianism to others of their age group. They have a website here were you can learn all about them: http://studentsforliberty.org/ 

 

The reason I bring this up know is because of their recent international conference in washington D.C. Many Libertarian speakers were there, and about 1400 attendees.

 

There was even an episode of Stossel which will likely be re-airing based in the conference, allowing students come up and ask questions of the speakers. They even had a Republican and Democrat each come in to defend their views and be questioned by the students attending. And all in all this was very fun to watch.

 

So, do you know of this group and/or conference? And what are your thoughts?

I haven't heard of this particular group but have heard of others similar to it so I am not surprised, I am of course for any group that is willing to spread the message of freedom. There is an awakening going on and I am looking forward to it reaching fruition.

The LP did have a "Double the LP" campaign a few months back, and i am fairly certain I can say...

 

HUZZAH! THE LIBERTARIANS HAVE BEEN DOUBLED!

 

But yes, this movement of freedom and Liberty has very well been growing fast recently. 

 

I wonder what people opposed to the LP on this forum have to say...

I feel bad for any person who has to listen to a Republican speak for ANY amount of time.

 

I suppose good on them! It's always good to have groups spreading liberty!

I'm like the only Libertarian I know that's my age. Everyone else is either a Lib, a Con, or has never heard either terms. I've never of SFL, I doubt anyone else at my school has either

There's a chapter (I guess that's what you would call it) of the SfL at my university. I considered joining them , but they all seemed far too conservative for my taste. I probably would've gotten kicked out anyway Though I'm a libertarian myself, I honestly don't care about these kinds of groups. No matter what we do, nothing's going to change politically anyway
