Austin, TX – The Young Conservatives of Texas will be out in full force on Wednesday, September 23rd to show the general public just exactly how healthcare will be run if Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress get their wish. Starting at 10am, YCT-UT will be out on the West Mall of the University of Texas campus running a “Free Government Health Clinic” to display just how poor the quality of healthcare will become if H.B. 3200 is passed.

"That's about what I would expect," said economics senior Clint Chegin, who is chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas. "The majority of young people support Obama, and they're more excited. The people who support McCain aren't the ones joining groups."

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

For conservatives, one of our grandest beliefs is that of personal freedom. More specifically, conservatives accept smaller government as exemplifying the power of the people. There is no right more important or fundamental to the concept of personal liberty than that of a citizen to protect their person or property. The court, with history as its guide, has today affirmed what conservatives have been saying for years: Americans have an individual right and freedom to own guns.

"The philosophy of conservatism would agree with the idea of personal freedon," said Clint Chegin, chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas.
