	Young Americans for Freedom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		YAF members vocally supported an aggressive policy of seeking victory in the Vietnam War, but opposed how the war was being conducted, such as the use of conscription and allowing the enemy sanctuary in the Laos, Cambodia and the north.
		This growth was strongest in California, where YAF members staged protests in favor of aid to the Nicaraguan Contras, in favor of Reagan's anti-communist policies, and in opposition to the United Nations.
		Young Americans for Freedom's indirect influence is felt through the great numbers of conservative political figures who began their careers as members of YAF in college.

	The Godfather Of American Conservatism
		For instance, when Robert Bauman was the head of Young Americans for Freedom in the early ’60s, he recalled hearing from Meyer as many as four or five times a night on the eve of an important board meeting.
		Meyer maintained that the individualists were correct in positing freedom as the "primary end" of politics, but he rejected the view that freedom was an "absolute end." "In the moral realm freedom is only a means whereby men can pursue their proper end, which is virtue," Meyer wrote.
		Meyer’s argument rested on the premise that freedom was a precondition of virtue, but Bozell demolished this premise simply by noting that a Soviet political prisoner, severely restrained by his government, was as capable of leading a virtuous life as an American businessman.

		During this time, YAF did not reflect the majority opinion of most Americans, but its goal was to change the political climate and in so doing, it laid the foundation for the rise of conservativism in the 1980s and 1990s.
		YAF ran into problems during the campaign because liberal news organizations kept grouping it with the extreme right organizations, such as the John Birch Society, which YAF tried to distant itself from.
		Many of the YAF members who participated in the 1964 campaign went on to be part of the Nixon and Reagan White Houses, which showed that the conservative movement of the 1960s had laid the foundation for future conservative leaders.

	Young Americans for Freedom
		Young Americans for Freedom is sad to learn about the Passing of President Ronald Reagan, one of America's greatest presidents, if not the greatest.

		It was evident to young conservatives that he was the man who would be the standard bearer for their cause.
