Down With the Debt

Writes Charlie Kirk:

Your speeches on YouTube have inspired me to take action on a national stage. I am 18 years old and a recent high school graduate. So often in high school we are told what to think instead of how to think. For year I felt subject to the system, like a sheep getting ready for slaughter. Then my friend told me about your videos. I watched every single one, and I read two of your books. Upon reading your work and watching you speak I realized that freedom is the solution, not the problem, and our public school education system has done nothing more but perpetuate the problem and make it worse.

Inspired by your words, I started an organization Turning Point USA…. The basis of our group is to educate our peers about the generational theft that is taking place in this country.

Here is my interview with Neil Cavuto.

I want to thank you for playing a important role in my life. I will continue to read your articles, and watch your videos for inspiration. One day I hope to meet you and thank you in person.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    awesome! its great to see people get out and actually DO things!! im 20 and i agree, Dr. Woods has had a huge impact on my life and perspective already, along with Dr. Paul and several others. In Canada here though theres no fed to close down or cia, but we do have our own problems. exposing opposing trains of thought to the status quo, and new (well, old) truths has been such a good thing, many thanks from many people go out TO many people. this truly is a movement.
