Fight for Fredom

The (Costume) Party of No last night was awesome. Cindy McCain, Miss California, Teddy Roosevelt,
Michael Steele, Sarah Palin (to the 3rd power), one polo enthusiast, many rich folk, and a few tea-partiers attended – amongst many others.

For one night – one glorious night – the Republican party was full of promise, diversity, and specially priced drinks.

And I, for the first time in my life, found the inner patriotism of a solid mustache, a distaste for Obama, and a total disconnection from reality.

and if YOU love fredom as much as I do, as much as everyone shoold -
pick up your own apparel too, and fight some Tyranny, we the people!

Show your support for YDA’s DNC Committee Woman Stephanie Hauser & NYC Council Candidate Kevin Kim

From time to time, we at MYD like to share events put on by other organizations throughout the city. We know we aren’t the only ones who can throw a huge party.

Youth involvement in politics doesn’t just mean lobbying our elected officials and starting grassroots movements. It means becoming elected officials! Town Council may not seem like the biggest most important race to some of you, but future leaders like Stephanie need to start local and grow from there. We started local with the Open Seat Project, putting about 80 MYDers on the ballot.
