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.
Republicans are very seldom conservative. This will be a non-partisan group that upholds CONSERVATIVE principles. YAF did that, but CR and YR have to toe the party line too often. YCC will be independent of the Republican Party.
Thanks for all your support.
