As Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) wraps up its fourth and most successful year, my staff and I put together this End of the Year Report to show you how your support is impacting the next generation.

Now more than ever, our mission to identify, educate, train, and mobilize youth activists committed to winning on principle is changing the direction of our country.

Best of all, the numbers don’t lie. YAL has become the most active and fastest-growing libertarian and conservative youth organization in the country, boasting a vast network of more than 125,000 activists and 378 chapters nationwide. This growth is unsurpassed by any national organization. And this year I was honored to be named one of the “30 top conservatives under 30.” This is a testament to our donors, members, and hard-working staff that make YAL a success.

In 2013, I’m confident our achievements will only continue with you by our side. Personally, I cannot thank you enough for believing in us and supporting our cause of freedom.

For liberty,

YAL’s social network presence keeps our members and network engaged with our programs and positions. We strongly encourage you to “like” our Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/yaliberty) and “follow” us on Twitter (www.Twitter.com/yaliberty).

Our numbers are growing rapidly. Most notably, our Facebook posts reached more than a quarter of a bil-lion users in 2012, and our “interactions” grew fivefold. 2012 was without a doubt our most significant year online. Take a look at some of the results.

In December 2008,

YAL was founded with only $25,000 and Ron Paul’s endorsement. Since then, YAL’s fundraising growth has remained consistent year after year. This year, YAL is projected to raise $1,423,992—more than 30% growth from last year. Your investment allows YAL to continually expand and reach thousands more young people. But we are nowhere near reaching our full potential. Next year, we will strive toward even larger goals.

One of the best things about working with YAL is the top notch activism resources. Thank you so much to the donors who make it easy to advance the cause of liberty!

— Bryant Moy

Freedom is a message that sells itself, but YAL’s resources make the process of recruiting new members a lot easier. My favorite thing to hand out is the “Philosophy of Liberty” palm card.

— Isabel Gonzalez

The resources YAL has given our chapter have helped us execute activism more effec-tively. While the pocket Constitutions and bottle openers are popular recruiting tools, it is the grants that have funded innovative and success-ful activism projects.

— Mary-Ann Ionascu

EDUCATE:students on the philosophy of liberty

Your support allows us to keep YAL chapters well-supplied with the resources they need.

The fastest way to get information about YAL and the liberty philosophy is to give an interested student a palm card.

ThankYou!

The YAL National Convention is an invitation-only event for the top youth leaders in our movement. Many of the convention attendees will go on to suc-cessful careers carrying out our mis-sion of “winning on principle.”

“The YAL National Convention gave me the necessary skills and resources to carry the message of liberty across my campus and my community.”

— Ari Kaplan

“I shook Ron Paul’s hand on the day of his greatest legislative victory [passage of Audit the Fed in the U.S. House]. Enough said.”

— Hassan A. Sheikh

“The speakers were incredible, and the information gained was invaluable—not to mention the once-in-a-lifetime experiences throughout the week!”

Training Partners

In addition to organizing our own campus and campaign trainings, YAL also partners with a number of great conservative and libertar-ian organizations to prepare our members for action.

Will Stewart-Starks Field Coordinator at Americans for Prosperity

Rachel Kania State Field Director at Ted Cruz for Senate

Cory Chenard Executive Assistant to Ken Cuccinelli, Cuccinelli for Governor

“Young Americans for Liberty gave me a platform to become a student leader at the University of Kansas and gave me a formal introduction to youth and grassroots organizing. I was recommended for a Field Representative position with Leadership Institute and am now a Field Coordinator for Americans for Prosperity in Kansas City, MO. The wealth of resources and network YAL makes available to students to break into politics are invaluable.”

“Interning for YAL was by far the best decision I have made. I realized my strengths and weaknesses while working for something I am truly passionate about. I grew tremendously over the course of the internship, throwing myself into any projects and taking advantage of every networking event. My time at YAL led to one internship and job after another. YAL certainly opened up many doors for me and helped me realize my one true passion: fighting for liberty. Thank goodness for YAL!”

“I’ve been involved with Young Americans for Liberty for more than two years now. Because of the intense training I received from YAL, I was able to get a job on the Ron Paul 2012 campaign. While there, I was able to utilize the skills I learned from YAL training to help win all of the delegate and alternate spots for the Congressional District I coordinated. This is the premier organization advancing our principles of limited government and the Constitution.”

To improve the skills of our YAL members who are most active in electoral politics, YAL re-launched its Winning on Principle newsletter (WPN) this year. The WPN teaches political activists throughout the nation the nuts and bolts of campaign operations, like how to:

• Design a campaign plan • Cultivate grassroots infrastructure • Fund a campaign • Turn out voters on Election Day

With guest writers like campaign operative Carlyle Gregory and American Majority’s Matt Robbins, readers learned from decades of experience to analyze the attributes of winning campaigns. Through this email series, we cost-effectively reached nearly 3,000 principled candidates, campaign staff, and volunteers around the nation.

MOBILIZE:

In the 2012 election cycle, YAL placed 123 activists on 176 campaigns or in campaign-related positions (like independent PACs) at all levels of government around the country—including the Ron Paul Campaign.

In addition to paid staff, more than 520 YAL members volunteered for Ron Paul’s “Get-Out-The-Vote” efforts in key early primary states: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, Colorado, and Washington.

Dozens more YAL activists manned the phones 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to educate voters in Kentucky and Texas, leading up to important congressional primaries. These dedicated young people made more than 282,000 calls to likely voters, informing them of the candidates’ positions on our issues—and finding that many wanted to vote for liberty by the end of the call.

This year, YAL launched an affiliated PAC to endorse principled candidates and bundle money for their campaigns. Thanks to your support, eight YAL PAC-endorsed candidates were elected to Congress. Here are the results:

THANKS TO YOU,the YAL PAC bundled $112,027 to support these victories!

Here’s what some of our winning candidates had to say about YAL.

I am proud to have the endorsement and commitment of Young Americans for Liberty. Thanks to their tireless efforts and financial support, I’ll be returning to Capitol Hill next term to continue my work in support of limited, constitutional government, free markets, and individual liberty. I hope YAL PAC continues its important work supporting principled candidates for office who will join the fight with me.

– Rep. Justin Amash (MI-03)

With the help of Young Americans for Liberty’s PAC and the more than 200,000 phone calls made by the young activists in their network, I won my May primary. Now, I’m honored to represent the great people of Kentucky and follow in the footsteps of Rep. Ron Paul and Sen. Rand Paul. While in Washington, I will always vote in line with the Constitution, I will fight to slash wasteful government spending, and I will preserve our personal and economic liberties.

– Rep. Thomas Massie (KY-04)

I’m grateful for the enthusiasm and support that the YAL PAC played in my primary this year. More importantly though, it is critical that young people remain engaged in the fight for limited government and economic freedom; I commend the work that YAL is doing to ensure that a new generation of voters is informed and can advance these values.

– Rep. David Schweikert (AZ-06)

PAC Advisory Board:How we choose the candidates

YAL PAC’s Advisory Board chose potential candidates to support during this election based on their answers concerning the issues of importance to the liberty movement: limited gov-ernment, foreign policy, civil liberties, the Federal Reserve—or in a nut-shell—the Constitution.

We knew going into this that there would never be another Ron Paul. But we were surprised by how many wished to follow in his footsteps. We were pleased to endorse a number of candidates—and help them win—who will now be able to take the liberty message to the halls of Con-gress and beyond. We expect many great things from these YAL PAC-endorsed candidates. Stay tuned.

I recently received this note from Lauren Evans, one of YAL’s best-trained activists and former interns. She now works in video production at the Cato Institute, a top libertarian think tank. As Lauren writes, it’s thanks to YAL—and supporters like you who make everything we do possible—that she has a career in the liberty movement. Please take a moment to read her note, and then make your most generous, tax-deductible contribution to give YAL a head start in 2013, as we continue our work to identify, educate, train, and mobilize youth activists like Lauren committed to winning on principle.
