School is starting up and so begins another semester of YCT in the news!

I'll be doing some radio this week.

The Stephen Dinkel Program - I will be on hand for commentary this afternoon at 5pm (Texas time, of course) to discuss guns.  Pretty fabulous isn't it?  I hope you'll tune in and check out the chat room.  Or call in, too.

Hat tip to the Freedom Talks Blog that posted this great news clip of YCT alumni Congressman Jeb Hensarling in his district collecting signatures to urge a vote on energy.

Check out the video here.

Tuition is skyrocketing, books cost too much, food prices are going up, gas prices are out of control and I spent way too much on my new designer handbag. Lucky for me, American Solutions can bail me out of one crisis, and while it won't buy me another designer handbag, it will score me a year's worth of free gasoline!

Hey blogosphere, just wanted to let you know that I have joined forces with Contempo Magazine as a blogger, writer and guest radio host.

You can view the Contempo Magazine blog here.  Or check out Contempo Magazine here.

I will cross post what I do for Contempo to this blog and of course I'll let you know when the first radio show is.

FYI this magazine is distributed to the McAllen area.

Check out the preview for this new flick aimed at showing the harms of extreme environmentalism.

Congrats to Young Conservatives of Texas at UT Austin member Brianna Becker for being this month's student spotlight with the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute.

YCT Alumni Brendan Steinhauser and some friends of the organization, Steve Bierfeldt and Francisco Gonzalez joined forces to pen a new book called Who is the REAL Barack Obama.

You can order it here.

From their website:

WASHINGTON – For conservatives on college campuses, it's easy to feel overwhelmed these days.

Polls show young voters leaning even more strongly liberal, and Barack Obama has gained rock-star status among college students.
