While supporting of Senator Bernie Sanders were bawling over their failed bid for socialism and prominent liberals were making impassioned pleas for more government in Philadelphia last week, young conservatives from around the country were in Washington, D.C. preparing to take back our country. Leading conservatives including Speaker Newt Gingrich, Lt. Col. Allen West, Dinesh D’Souza, Senator Rick Santorum, Katie Pavlich, Senator Jim DeMint, Lt. Col. Oliver North, Matt Walsh, Robert Spencer, David French, Rich Lowry, Ben Shapiro and more met with the students to inspire their efforts to promote freedom on campus.

Where else would students get this opportunity but at Young America’s Foundation’s National Conservative Student Conference?

See for yourself.

Full video of each speaker’s remarks can be viewed online here! We look forward to seeing how this year’s graduates of the National Conservative Student Conference will promote conservatism on campuses from coast-to-coast this fall. They give us hope for the future of this great nation. It’s our honor to bring them face-to-face with Movement leaders and watch as they develop into passionate young activists enthusiastic about fighting for freedom.
