Young America's Foundation Conservative Lecture Program - First Steps Y ou may wonder why you should become involved in an enterprise of this nature. You will further the conservative cause on your campus. You will promote your ideas to a multitude of students. For many students, college offers the only occasion they will ever have to hear or consider conservative ideas.
Most college students expect to hear varying viewpoints.
It is up to you to fill the educational void. Moreover, a successful event shows the entire campus that students want to hear conservative speakers. It should be easier to demand funding for additional programs once you've shown the value of conservative programming. In many cases, if the Left complains about your program or tries to stop or disrupt it, they are showing the campus community their intolerance. Once you've organized a lecture for the campus community that all reasonable students appreciate, that contribution gives your organization credibility.
