TPUSA Wants to Save Colleges, but How?

TPUSA has already received a lot of well-placed criticism for pushing the conservative cause and the conservative movement in the libertarian camp, endorsing gay marriage and transgenderism.

But, why not push a more well-placed criticism?

What exactly are they accomplishing by going to colleges in the first place?

Here's their latest eblast talking about TPUSA efforts on college campuses:

Fellow American,

 

By now, I’m sure you're as furious as I am with the White House’s absurd and illegal COVID vaccine mandate.

 

The federal government has NO POWER to get involved in your medical decisions. PERIOD!

 

But for millions of college students in America today, it’s not just the federal government they have to worry about.

 

In fact, more than 2,500 colleges and universities are FORCING students to get the COVID vaccine... DEMANDING that they publicly share their medical history... and BANNING them from school if they don’t comply!

 

My friend, this is the pattern for vaccine mandates across America--including Joe Biden’s. And if we don’t stand up against it now, there’s no telling how aggressive the federal government will get in their quest to force this vaccine on you and me whether we want it or not.

 

That’s why Turning Point USA and our army of 400,000 student activists are leading the battle against forced COVID vaccines on campus. Will you stand with us today by making a generous, tax-deductible contribution of $25, $35, $50, $75, or whatever you can possibly afford to help fuel our ongoing efforts?

To ensure that students are ready to win the fight for freedom against radical college administrations, we’ve launched a “NO FORCED VAX” campaign and created engaging and educational activism kits that we’re ready to ship out right away— and we must get them into the hands of students who need and want them right now.

 

Your gift right now will help make that possible.

 

This move by the universities is not about vaccines AT ALL. It’s about freedom, choice, information, and constitutional rights.

 

Young and healthy students — the least affected by the disease — must be free to decide what is best for them alongside their doctors… not college administrators or bureaucrats.

 

The same goes for all Americans, but the Biden administration has watched what these universities have been able to get away with—and put their policies on steroids.

 

As I write this email, thousands of students have been denied reentry to their campuses until they can show proof of vaccination. One student at Rutgers was even locked out of his ONLINE college classes until he takes the vaccine!

 

If we let these schools exercise this kind of power over their students, I hate to see what the White House comes up with next!

 

We must win this campus battle right now, or we’ll be fighting it on our own doorsteps.

 

Please partner with TPUSA NOW in the fight against forced vaccinations! With your gift of $25 today, you’ll help fund one activism kit for students on a campus that’s essentially forcing them to get the COVID vaccine. These activism kits are crucial to teaching students how to stand up for their freedom at these anti-liberty schools.

Stop Forced Vaccination!

 

Thank you for your support!

For America,

 

Charlie Kirk 

Founder & CEO 

Turning Point USA 

So, let's start asking some serious questions:

1. Is Charlie Kirk and TPUSA really getting anything done when they go to college campuses and host discussions? 

2. Is it really enough, or it is really a victory that an organization like TPUSA changes minds? There are many polls out there which make it quite clear that people hate what is happening in this country. Yet, polls do not change the polarity of a country, or the direction of its leadership. Polls on paper is not the same as voting at the polls to elect new leaders. That's where the changes need to take place.

3. Where is the real activism here? Activism is not gathering a bunch of people in a room and giving a presentation. That may make people feel good, and make them feel that they are making a difference. But is it really making a difference?

4. People can argue about how liberal or how disconnected or inconsistence the TPUSA movment is on issues and values, but we need to be focusing all the more on getting things done. We need to pushing the culture back into its proper order, and we need to put a stop to this left-wing slouching-turned-rushing towards Gomorrah which has become all too commonplace in the country.

TPUSA wants to save the colleges, or better yet bankrupt their indoctrination movement. But how? A bunch of college students showing up to ask questions and spar with TPUSA on key issues is not going to accomplish much.

Go PragerU! Lawsuit Against "Big Brother" Google

We Are Suing YouTube for Censoring Our Videos Dear Valued Subscriber, As you know, PragerU’s videos are available on a number of platforms, one of which is YouTube. And as you may also know, YouTube has chosen repeatedly to restrict some of our videos for violating their “Community Guidelines.”  Those guidelines are meant to protect users against viewing sexual content, violent or graphic content, and hate speech. As a PragerU viewer, you know as well as I do that our videos contain nothing even remotely close to any of these categories. To date, YouTube has restricted nearly 40 PragerU videos, addressing topics ranging from religion and freedom of speech to the history of the Korean War. More than a year ago, we filed a complaint with YouTube, hoping that there was some kind of innocent mistake. That’s when we were told by YouTube that after reviewing our videos, they determined that they were, indeed, “not appropriate for a younger audience.” Of course, we have this in writing. Think about the millions of actually inappropriate videos on YouTube, and then ask yourself, “Why is our content restricted?” Unfortunately, the answer is rather obvious, isn’t it?  YouTube has restricted PragerU videos for only one reason: ideological discrimination. Of course, YouTube is owned by Google, which was founded to, ironically, “Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” YouTube has made some of our most important videos inaccessible to the very audience PragerU seeks to reach: young people. Let me be clear: they don’t like what we teach, and so they intend to stop us from teaching it. This kind of censorship is what we have seen on college campuses for years. But it is far more dangerous in this circumstance, because the internet is where the world goes to get informed.   Can you imagine if the left owned the internet the way they own our universities? Can you imagine what the world would look like if Google is allowed to continue to arbitrarily censor ideas they simply don’t agree with? Well, this is why Prager University filed suit against YouTube and Google. We are not fighting this only for PragerU—we are taking this on for America and possibly the world. Can we count on your support as we fight to end the censorship of our conservative ideas by Google/YouTube? Now, I have to tell you ... this was not an easy decision. Over the summer, former Governor of California, Pete Wilson — who has been a longtime supporter of PragerU — approached us and posited the idea: “We have to sue them,” he said. “Google is hubris.” Those words weighed heavy on our entire team as we considered our options. Obviously, a fight with Google will be hugely difficult and costly, and we hate the idea of deploying energy and resources away from producing more content and reaching new audiences.  We simply cannot do that. So, before taking any such action, we decided we’d attempt a more diplomatic approach one last time. On the one-year anniversary of Google blocking our content, or the “BANniversary,” as we had come to call it, we renewed our complaints to YouTube, and re-circulated an online petition urging Google to change course. Many articles have been written, and many people, including many very prominent and influential people, rallied in support of our cause. To date, well over a quarter-of-a-million people have added their names to our petition. What was the result of our efforts? Nothing. YouTube ignored us. In fact, they have since restricted 11 more PragerU videos. With our hands tied, we knew Governor Wilson was right—Google’s hubris had to be challenged. So, we have built an all-star legal team, including Governor Wilson’s law firm, Eric George, Alan Dershowitz, Barak Lurie, Kelly Shackelford, Mat Staver, and more. It’s an impressive group, because this is an important case; not only for PragerU, but for the fundamental American right to freedom of speech. But this is not going to be easy and it isn’t going to be cheap. Despite the fact that our amazing attorneys have agreed to reasonably cap their legal fees, there will be additional personnel, research, marketing and public relations costs to PragerU. This case will be tried in the court of public opinion as much as in the courtroom, and we intend to win in both venues. However, we cannot deplete our operating budget to fight this case. Thanks to you, PragerU has reached more than 1-out-of-4 Americans on the internet. Sixty-three percent of them are under 34. We plan to continue to focus on this growth and reach 3 out of 4 Americans. We can’t let up now. We are fully committed to the lawsuit but we won’t let them slow the growth of PragerU. This is why our board of directors and many staff members have donated, in addition to our annual gift, to what we are calling the “YouTube Action Fund.” Dennis Prager, Allen Estrin, and I have all given extra this year. Now, here is how you can help: Please go to our website and sign the petition against YouTube censorship. It already has over 400,000 signatures; please add yours if you haven’t done so already, and ask 10 of your friends to do the same. More importantly, please contribute to our action fund if you can, over and above your planned support for PragerU. Our initial goal for the legal fund is $1 million, and we think we can reach that goal with your help. Many of you have already given so generously and I am embarrassed to ask for more. But if you think this fight is important please support us in whatever way you can. It seems like a lot to ask…until you consider how much we have to lose. Perhaps Goliath could teach Google a little bit about where hubris leads ... when a David comes slinging. Thank you, and God bless you. Marissa Streit CEO, PragerU Can we count on your support as we fight to end the censorship of our conservative ideas by Google/YouTube?

My Take Down of a Rude, Anti-Trump SJW Goes VIRAL!

Check out this tweet:

AMAZING ⭐️ @POTUS supporter confronts rude, hateful SJW! pic.twitter.com/ME0kVl9gGG

— 'GITMO' BAMA ▪️ (@President1Trump) October 14, 2017

I had confronted this rude, pasty-white Beta Male about five months ago.

It was at the LA County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission meeting in Downtown Los Angeles.

While I was standing at the podium discussing what had happened to DeAndre Mitchell, a black American who rushed into a fire to save four American lives, this little hater flipped me off.

Now, why did DeAndre die? Why did he risk his life in that fire?

An illegal alien had set the fire to retaliate against another transient in an abandoned building.

Shameful what our government has allowed to enter into our country.

This petty SJW basically flipped off a black man who had tried to save the lives of four other Americans, all killed by an illegal alien!

I confronted him during the break, and he of course proceeded to act like a little child.

He was not only embarrassed, taken down like a boss, but now the whole world gets to see it AGAIN!

Conservative Victories on College Campuses

Hello Arthur Christopher,

  

The semester is almost over, but that’s not stopping liberal efforts to intimidate conservative college students.

Thanks to you, there is hope for these students.

I thought you’d like to know about two victories for conservative students in the last few weeks –victories that wouldn’t have happened without you.

"Christian University cuts ties to Planned Parenthood"

Whitworth University, a Christian university in Spokane, Washington, cut ties with Planned Parenthood after the Students for Life group challenged the university to stop funding the abortion provider.

This student group that you help with your support put pressure on the university to stop giving course credit for internships at Planned Parenthood.

"School employee tried to threaten student over Trump sign"

The University of South Alabama is reminding staff to respect First Amendment rights after a student was threatened with disciplinary action for refusing to remove a Trump sign from his dorm window.

This isn’t unusual because liberals don’t believe conservatives have the right to free speech on campus – but thanks to you, CampusReform.org put pressure on the university through the story. The university backed down, apologized, and is now training staff to respect free speech rights. This will make a difference not only for this student, but every other student that goes to this school.

These stories are the two most recent victories in 2017. Thanks to your wisdom to support the Leadership Institute, conservatives have a home on campus where they can freely be conservative.

These students are our future leaders.

But you and I know that with every victory, the left will fight harder to re-gain the ideological battleground that are college campuses.

Just imagine what leftist abuses conservative students will face when they return for their fall semesters! 

Arthur Christopher, will you please donate to help conservatives fight back against the liberal indoctrination on college campuses?

These recent victories support the momentum you and I have built to help our students and defend conservative principles from leftist tyrants on campus.
  
Thank you for your support.

Cordially,

Morton C. Blackwell

President, Leadership Institute
