Young Conservatives of Kansas launches
Members and alumni of The Young Conservatives of Texas were pleased to read in today’s Daily Kansan that students at Kansas University are forming The Young Conservatives of Kansas.
Jack Hutsey, Wichita junior, officially founded the Young Conservatives of the University of Kansas on Sept. 4, a week before the group’s first public outreach effort.
“Right now, the conservative voice is just a whisper on campus,” Hutsey said. “We just want the liberals to know that we’re going to raise our voice. They can have demonstrations and rallies, and so can we. It’ll take time, obviously, but we’ll have small successes and just build on those.”
Hutsey has it right. The only way to build and sustain a conservative group at a liberal campus is to recruit members one by one, to get them active right away and have fun while doing it. I haven’t talked to the new group yet, but hopefully they will get in touch with YCT so that we can provide our advice, event ideas and moral support to them. I’d also like to send them a copy of my book, The Conservative Revolution: How to Win the Battle for College Campuses.
Congrats to Hutsey and his fellow conservative Jayhawks for rolling up their sleeves and getting ready to do battle with the campus left. Good luck!
