The Libertarian Longhorns and Young Americans for Liberty at the University of Texas have
teamed up with Students For Liberty to host the 2009 Texas Students For Liberty Conference.
The conference will bring together students from all across Texas and leaders of the growing
liberty movement to learn from each other how best to advance the cause of liberty on campus.
The conference will be held on October 24th, 2009, at the Thompson Conference Center on the
University of Texas at Austin campus. The conference will begin at 8am and conclude with a
dinner at 5:30pm. Each student attendee will not only benefit from the great speakers but receive
free books, t-shirts, pamphlets, and 3 free meals at the conference. Interested parties can learn

“The SFL Texas Conference is a great opportunity to reach new young people and introduce
them to the ideas of liberty” said Norman Horn, President of the Libertarian Longhorns. “We are
bringing in top-notch speakers from across the county to share their knowledge with young
activists from Texas. Our Keynote Speaker will be renowned libertarian author and Vice
President of the Cato Institute Gene Healy, whose insights on the expansion of presidential
power will be invaluable to all attendees.”
Other speakers include Anthony Gregory of the Independent Institute and Campaign for Liberty,
activist and author Mary Ruwart, Gil Guillory of the Molinari Institute, and Nigel Ashford of the
Institute for Humane Studies. A panel discussion on local activism is also planned which will
involve some of the most distinguished activist groups in Texas, including representatives from
Texans for Accountable Government, the Libertarian Party of Texas, the Texas Public Policy
Foundation, Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, and the Institute for Justice.
Norman continued, “The conference is focused on students but is open to everyone interested in
the ideas of liberty. It is an extraordinary opportunity that no libertarian, no matter their age,
should miss.”
