Fellow Conservative,
The legislative council at the University of California-Irvine
voted to ban the American flag from flying in the student
government's main lobby citing our flag being used as an
offensive weapon of nationalism, colonialism, and imperialism.
The idea that we should apologize for America is something
that is, sadly, preached in college classrooms across the
country, and banning the American flag is one way those on
the far left push this idea on students that America is
something to be ashamed of. Too often, conservatives let
these displays go unchallenged.
I thank God that didn't happen this time.
The Leadership Institute's college watchdog Campus Reform
website broke this shocking story. The Institute's reporting
provoked a national outcry over this outrage.
The Leadership Institute's campus organizer for California,
David Blair, rallied two conservative student groups at the
university. He supplied them with flags, sign-making materials,
and a plan to organize Americans in a successful protest on campus.
As a result, less than a week after the story broke, three members
of the legislative council changed their votes and said they
would not ban the American flag. The radical left lost.
I call the Leadership Institute our secret weapon because
together with their grassroots organizers, watchdog website,
and activist trainings, this incredible organization motivates
campus conservatives to stand up like never before to fight for America.
No other conservative organization offers anything like this.
Altogether, they support an astounding 2,114 conservative
student groups.
The problem is that 34% of students attend a college or university
with NO Leadership Institute student groups. At these colleges
radical, liberal academics freely get away with their indoctrination.
I'm working with the Leadership Institute to make sure EVERY
campus has a home for conservatives because the status quo is
unacceptable. It's a long, hard, labor-intensive process, and
it costs time and treasure -- but it's effective!
You and I already know millennials are trending to the left,
but together we can put a stop to that. Will you give
conservative students the tools to fight the left on
America's college campuses by sending a generous donation
of $50, $100, $150 or even more today?
Your support of the Leadership Institute will have a major
impact in the fight to decide the future of America.
God Bless,
Senator Ted Cruz
