A bright ray of optimism. Yes, indeed. A couple years back, Students For Liberty [1] formed to correct the debt-bloating, liberty-debauching ills of the Demopublicans — or Republicrats if you prefer. Last weekend, 200 of these college revolutionaries gathered [2] in Washington, D.C. to talk first principles, solutions, how to effect social change and the Constitution. They did not speak of partisan politics. I spoke as a panelist there and, a life-long activist myself, was so impressed by their professionalism, energy, optimism and politeness that upon returning home I sent them a contribution. Oregon students interested in turning the tide should contact them to organize local chapters.
