I just graduated from Salisbury University, and I just signed up for the USMC Reserve unit in VA. I want to attend UVA School of Law and pursue a career to promote free markets. I was in the Salisbury University College Republican Club, and I was a huge activist on campus to promote free markets and conservative values. http://orgs.salisbury.edu/republicans/ if you click on “Officers” I was the president of the club through 2012 fall – 2013 spring. I was first introduced to Ayn Rand in a Special topics class taught in the business school by Doctor Marc Street (business teacher) and Doctor Dustin Chambers (economics), and the focus was on individual freedom. After taking political science classes and philosophy classes at Salisbury whom the departments’ teachers were very liberal and socialist by nature and worshiped Karl Marx, I instantly felt like the conservative business classes taught in Purdue School of Business fit my personality and beliefs. The special topic class was only taught for 2 semesters, and was founded by the Koch Foundation. After taking the class, I bought all of Ayn Rand’s novels. While being President of the Salisbury University College Republicans our members were mostly Political Science students, and I showed them Ayn’s Rand philosophy, novels, and Atlas Shrugged Part I and II YouTube clips, and I told the members that this is the right view that they should be teaching in universities not Karl Marx. They didn’t even know who Ayn Rand was till I introduced her to them. I would have bought the $4 dollar package to this great community, but I don’t own a credit card, and I just graduated from college and need to pay off a little debt from school. Bottom line… who is going to stop the real government from reaching too much power… I am…

“Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims”.-----Ayn Rand
