Good luck Brendan! Perseverance is the key.

I am a High School Student in a California High School. I'd be happy to talk to you about possibly starting something next year.

Not sure what gap is left by YAF that you refer to. There are also the College Republicans and the Young Republican Federation of California (YRFC). They are both conservative organizations that you could join or start your own chapter.

It's not like we have too many conservative activists going around. It would be great if we all quit splitting off and dividing our strengths.

Just my two cents having been through it all before I became an OAF. At any rate, good luck with your group.

Good on you, Brendan.

The world needs more conservatives and California sounds like it is in desperate need of more conservatives - especially young ones.

More power to you!

Nevada needs it more.

stay away from the CAGOP.

Our daughter has found quite the conservative population at Cal Poly SLO, but there are already some good conservative clubs she's involved in (including Campus Crusade for Christ). She said one of her friends jokingly referred to Cal Poly as "the best Christian "public" school in the country."
