YAL Member James Robertson on Paul Gallo Discussing Angela McGlowan Confrontation
There has been a great deal of interest in the 1st District of Mississippi about Angela McGlowan’s exchange with a group of Ole Miss YAL students concerning the Bill of Rights and her ability to name all of them. As a background, James Robertson and a few other YAL members approached Congressional Candidate Angela McGlowan before an announcement she was about to give in front of the steps of the Ole Miss Student Union. They asked her if she could name all 10 of the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution. Her reaction was anything but expected. Go here to read the full article on the confrontation.
Paul Gallo took some interest in the story and we thought it would benefit all interested to share her side of the story spoken to Paul Gallo as well as YAL’s side of the story. Enjoy! (The second audio clip is worse sound quality so the volume is lower. Sorry about that.)

Mises on Itunes U
I’m sure all you liberty lovers out there are aware of the Mises Institute. This organization has already done so much for liberty. However, they are not stopping. They have recently put their entire collection of scholarly works on Itunes U.
They have audiobooks with the full text of Human Action by Ludwig Von Mises down to audio and video lecture series given by minds such as Thomas Woods. All of these priceless works are totally free of charge and ripe for the taking. Go here to link to the Mises Institute’s Itunes U page and begin the downloading. Cheers.
What is Your Pledge
Take a look at our new “I Pledge” video! It was inspired by the nauseating “I Pledge to be a servant to our President” video by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher that came out around Obama’s Inauguration last year. What happened to all the change?
Spread the message, share the video with your friends, and help it go viral!
