My name is Kya Hartkopf and I am a FreedomWorks activist and college student at East Carolina. I volunteered to help today at the FreedomWorks booth at the Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) State Convention. It was a great event, with almost 200 YAL members from all over North Carolina. Check out the photo gallery with all our pictures from the event!

On Monday, September 29, about thirty activist from Alamance and Orange counties in North Carolina gathered for an activist training on how to engage on issues important to conservatives.
