  • Your video is popular on Brussels

  • As a man on the downhill side of life I am given GREAT hope by the young Americans in this video.Semper Fi!

  • I would like to know why there are 25 dislikes to this? Can someone tell me why? SARCASM!!

  • This gives me HOPE! Great video. 

  • That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. … it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

  • Americans (collectivists) for freedom (individualism) is a contradiction in terms.

    Nationalists and freedom don't mix. 

  • @verymaddog

    Though I understand what you are trying to say, being American does not mean you cannot be for the individuality of each member of the human family...

  • I love thomas jefferson. He was a fucking slave owner - and a 'libertarian' - what a motherfucking scumbag.

  • @verymaddog Well that mother fucking scumbag built you a country that is the most powerful and free nation in the world. Owning slaves was wrong, everyone knows that, get over it and grow up.

  • @Jakepod34

    You are even more clueless than the commies.

    Too bad people like you get associated with libertarianism, considering that they (you) don't understand it.

  • @verymaddog Watch it asshole. I have more colored and foreign friends than white friends so dont talk to me about being fuckin clueless. I know that slavery and racism is wrong, so why did you even bring that shit up? Get over it, its done with so shut the fuck up. I can believe in whatever I want to, and you are the one acting like a commie by telling me I dont understand what my own political party is.

  • Paul/Constitution 2012!... :)

  • Those of you who think YAL/video is extremist, I guess we just love our individual rights so, If you don't want your freedom then maybe it would be a good idea for you to move to, China?

  • Lets stand together and forget our differences so we can save this country!

    Many republicans (neo-cons) and democrats are pushing for a world government. We are becoming more and more collectism and less indivdualism.

    UNITED NATIONS = WORLD PRESIDENT

    American Union, European Union, Pacific Union, African Union

    States and Unions

    We the People (NO VOICE AT ALL!!)

    Lets stand together please!!!!! Each and everyone of you are losing your freedoms. Lets stand up and protect our individual rights.

  • I love this video!! Brought me goose bumps! Wow! Those who think this is just a propaganda, that they should thank you that people like you are saving our country and our individual rights.

    look up on "end of america" on youtube by naomi wolf. We are headed for communism. Please, lets stop our differences and band together for our individual rights!

    Do your homework and love your freedom here in America!

  • Very subtle and coercive right wind propaganda. Well done. Very impressive.

  • @joshuaoha Please, read my message above. Lets band together for our freedom.

  • How old is too old to join? Is there an Old Americans for Liberty? If there is, I think I qualify. Either way, I support liberty===Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • @caroljohnson168 Yes there is a YAL group for non students. Check out the website.

  • music is too loud in the background and drons out the sound of many of the great pledges... but overall, i really like it.

  • @taylorhazlehurst56 I totally agree!

  • Fantastic video! A little emotional. I feel like these people described my values so accurately. More people should see this video.

  • Pretty amazing stuff.

  • Band of Brothers music. Fuck yeah!!!!!!!

  • DON'T TREAD BRO!

    RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This was uploaded 2 years ago. Come on people! Spread the word! 2012 will be here before we know it!

  • This is the hope of America. Young people who have the true spirit of the Founding Fathers. Yes, Yes, Yes! I pledge to join YAL and to do all in my power to make this the nation of true liberty. I will start will resisting the TSA no matter what they do to me in an effort to get my liberty when I fly. I will write to my congressmen. I will pray. I will educate myself and I will stand up for the liberties and the spirit of America that reigned when it was young and still good.

  • 20 people HATE FREEDOM, THE DECELERATION OF INDEPENDENCE, The right to LIFE LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!

  • 19 people love big government dick up there ass.

  • This is really inspirational

  • Comment removed

  • Being a senior in high school who is a lone advocate for political action and liberty in my life, this brings back hope for me in a darkening world; I will see you guys next year in college.

  • these are people who live in a world that failed after 1968...these same people

    have taken us down the road to being number 2 or 3 in the world..they live in the past

    and have been led down this path by the crazy stupid Right wings of both parties..

  • Thank you. There just may be hope for the future after all.

  • YAYY FOR YOUTH =D

  • Excellent work guys - 2012, here we come.

    And for all who claim these are only soundbites - it is a philosophy, not a policy. It is call for freedom from the government, not a call for services from the government. That is the mark of true liberty.

  • Look at what only 4 years in this movement has accomplished....

  • @DamnYourReallyUgly Absolutely nothing? All I see is a bunch of soundbites put together in a clip.

  • @xxVampirePenguinxx Damn- ok you should venture on to the cartoon coloring videos....you obviously don't keep up on politics.

  • @DamnYourReallyUgly Still only seeing speeches and soundbites.

  • Just like this guuuy!!! perfect.

  • 100%.

  • 17 people out of 35,000 hate freedom.

  • One of the most brilliant organizations America has ever seen. Period.

  • "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"

    There is some truth in this, but it's a dangerous idea. The problem with extremism is that it attracts extremists. Most people advocating extremism are authoritarians and ideologues. However, this isn't to say that there aren't rare moments when extreme activism can be potentially beneficial and moral.

  • Love the Chinese guy who pledges not to purchase U.S. treasury bonds. :D

  • Very inspirational. Makes me wish I was a young American, so that I could participate and give more than moral support.

  • I am sharing this video with all family and friends. Beautifully done YAL! Keep on Keeping On!

  • Everybody gets their facts from the media, be it TV, internet or books. So unless facts just come to you in year head, you're not gonna know anything if you cut yourself off from all the media. That's just stupid.

  • Best line;

    [2:49] Keeping your own money isn't greed, and spending other peoples money isn't compassion.

  • "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"

    After recent calls for moderation from the likes of Jon Stewart, it's nice to be reminded that there IS cause for extremism, and that I'm NOT just crazy...

    right?

  • seriously ppl, join YAL, create a branch on ur college campus or high school, tell your friends, tell everyone. the more attention we get, the more ppl will take us seriously and the revolution will gain clout! get the word out there! and JOIN YOUNG AMERICANS FOR LIBERTY!!!

  • Here here!

  • ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING!!!!

  • I pledge to tell everyone I can about the most amazing plant on this planet, cannabis. And to spread the word about it's amazing potential as a source of energy, food, medicine, plastics, paper, and building materials, if we can free it from it's red-taped prohibition through the power of our vote!

  • Comment removed

  • I pledge to decide for myself how much stars i'll give for this video

  • I pledge to buy a hemp farm.

  • Peter Schiff 2010!!!

    He needs our help people back the guy up

    I PLEdge!!!

  • Extremism is mostly ini the Republican party these days. have you guys read the GOP Platform for 2010 in Texas? A bunch of bigots. I respect life, liberty, including gay people not only Christian bigots.

  • Well done!!

  • Makes me proud to be an American again!

  • @sournois

    no need to be. America is a shithole.

    I am proud to be Chinese! We are much superior to you!

  • @TheSunmanho Completely unnecessary.

  • I pledge to support "...liberty and justice for all." :)

  • Also I love how all of these George Washington University trust fund babies are very clearly reading off of cards

  • Wait wait wait. Hang on. You pledging for an essentially anti-war anti-US military intervention abroad (which is good) but then adding the US imperial motto of "keeping america strong". I smell a contradiction.

  • @racecar2323 So if someone works out to keep themselves strong, that means that they have to punch out everyone that walks by them? No. Libertarians believe in strong national DEFENSE. If we're attacked by, then we respond to that attack; we don't go on the offensive, as we have been doing for a number of years now.

  • i love this

  • i love this

  • In these times that test the heart of this great nation most Americans have lost the knowledge of why how and on what principles this country was founded, and it is up to us, the citizens of this nation to restore liberty for our nation. We must not try to defend liberty at home and promote tyranny abroad like most conservatives do. We must restore the founding principles of this republic into the minds of our citizens because it is only we who will restore the republic.

  • Young Americans for Liberty? More like Young Americans for nazi islamofascist marxist fascist communist progressive racism. You Paultards make me want to vomit. You can't hide your pro-terrorism and racist nazi views any longer.

  • @TerrorWarrior5000 lol....what?? Everything you just listed is exactly what we oppose.....we stand for free markets and the rights of individuals, and adamantly oppose all forms of central planning and government intervention. Do you have any clue what your saying?

  • @TerrorWarrior5000 WTF are u talking about

  • @IrvHyatt

    These are just a handful who say they would help the less fortunate, first of all they haven't yet been in a situation to have to do it.

    How about the other millions of people?

    These folks are like rabid religious zealots, although most are atheist, which is the only smart thing about them.

  • @IrvHyatt

    "they haven't yet been in a situation to have to do it."

    REALLY? My daughter is a member of Young Americans for Liberty & she HAS had the chance on MANY OCCASIONS.

    She volunteered over 300 hrs in the last 2 years of high school and continues to volunteer while in college. Help doesn't always mean money.

    I know that's a hard concept to grasp because you folks just think throwing money at problems fixes them, but that's not always the case.

  • go YAL

  • I pledge to support all that the Young Americans for Liberty list in this video. Outstanding perspectives YAL!

  • first thought: the guy with the sunglasses is really kind of scary. looks and speaks like the terminator. "i pledge to expect life". what's that supposed to mean? (anti-abortionist?) what are the "natural rights of men" exactly?

    the things that I (european liberal, utilitarist and secular humanist) don't get by watching this video:

    - are these guys relegious?

    - why are they keen on firearms?

    - why are they so US-centered but anti-gov at the same time?

    - why do they look so stressed?

  • Comment removed

  • are these guys religious? No i personally am not! Why are they keen on firearms? because we have the second amendment and have the right to own them. why are they so US-centered but anti-gov at the same time? We strongly support the constitutional republic that was created after the 1776 revolution why do they look so stressed? im not stressed im strong and very empowered. what are the "natural rights of men" exactly? The bill of rights

  • I pledge to defend the constitution of the united states against enemies both foreign and now more then ever domestic.

  • Great video. This is how we became great.

  • I pledge to keep fighting in the liberty movement. It is truly growing.

  • yaaaa great job guys!

  • This old man hopes and prays you keep growing!

  • 3:20. That's a good pledge.... SPREAD THE WORD!!!

    Great posting..Very inspiring..Let's do this thing!!!

  • Why did we sit there, just like the Germans, and allow our Constitution to be shredded to pieces?

    Why did we sit there while a black president signs a bill that is tantamount to slavery?

    We have NO MEDIA save the Internet.

  • and they're planning to change that too :[

  • "Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it."

    You think we earned it? I don't

  • I pledge to boycott any Monsanto products (anything with GMO corn or soy bean products; coke & pepsi products, corn oil, soy bean/vegetable oil, and livestock fed GMO corn, to name a few).

    They are killing the farmers and our food.

    They are the Obama/Bush administration magnified. Monopolist/Socialist.

  • Monsanto is pure evil.

  • This makes me proud to be an American.

  • I pledge to send this around the walls again

    :)

  • I'll be doggoned. It's about time.

  • 3:35 Ayn Rand´s pledge... NICE!

  • Awesome work! Share, share, share! Congrats from Honduras ;-)

  • I was getting a little choked up while watching and then @4:27 the tear was jerked free.

    Beautiful everyone.. great work!

  • The dude at 4:03— the Russian— reminds me of the spirit I saw there in the 70s..

  • THIS:

    @4:31

    I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

    I swear...

  • @stinky125 You may be aware of this already, but that is a direct quote from "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. A very good read, especially considering current events.

  • Orly....?????

    That's was a John Galt quote....

    I read the book dood

    Chk out Fountainhead

    I cheated.....I NetFlixed it

  • I'll pledge anything to a video that mentions LvM's Human Action to the background music from Band of Brothers.

  • Simply Brilliant! I actually got goosebumps!

  • Great video! ***** What is the name of the girl at 1:02? If you could send me a message if anyone knows. I ask because I think I might know her, but i forgot her name.

  • Make the video a video response to the Pledge to serve obama video and it will get more views.

  • @jlnecktie Great idea.

  • this is awesome.

  • I hope this video gets millions of views. It's up to Youtubers to make this happen.

  • It truly makes me happy to see that there are people out there who really understand the importance of liberty and that the best way to support poor people is being in favor of a truly free market which we haven't had in some time.

    Truly brilliant!

  • @1PrinceWilliam

    Amen

  • I pledge to defend our freedom for every people and for the people that want a chance to have freedom. Great video it brought tears to my eyes. I hope that more young people walk up soon.

  • Just remember, the colossal networks of informants (neighborhood watches and police informants) are being put in place for a reason. The same reason they were put in place in East Germany's dictatorship.

    Good luck.

  • Inspiring! Well done.

  • (clap clap clap standing ovation)

    This is A REAL "I pledge video". Not the stupid pledge to serve Obama video.

  • I pledge to defend liberty and to teach my daughters to do the same.

  • One word: Beautiful.

  • The basketball scene is off of 16th street going West in adams morgan. I see the wizard of oz there.

    GREAT VIDEO THOUGH! I love it.

  • The movement is growing :)

  • Comment removed

  • I Pledge!

  • Great!

  • I needed to hear that and am glad I did! I was tempted to take a federal student loan last week even though I've "pledged" to never get in debt...and certainly not debt with the federal bank.

  • Saw this at the Minnesota event with Michele Bachman and Dr Paul. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

  • I pledge!

  • Great job guys!

  • Go go Americans against the federal tyranny!

  • I pledge! I am over 39, but I will support YAL in any way possible.

  • I pledged...when I was their age.....but I'm still young

  • I pledge!...

  • This is why I became a U.S. Infantryman this is why I wanted to fight. Not the fake war they send us over to die for. you guys are doing a great job keep it up!!!!!

  • I pledge to keep my AR-15 well oiled.

  • AWESOME GUYS,,,,TRULY AWESOME

  • I pledge to be a member of YAL and Campaign for Liberty.

  • I have been waiting for 40 years to see someone pick up their shield in defense of liberty. Am I too old to join "the Young Americans for Liberty?".

  • A member of Young Americans for Liberty is between the ages of 15 and 39 and pays an annual due.

    If you are not within this age bracket, don't despair! Senior (over 39) YAL members are welcome to join for a $50 annual donation and will receive many of the same great benefits.

    From yaliberty website

  • refreshing, breath of fresh air. .Not some mindless celebrity reading their prepared script who others will blindly follow b/c of their celebrity

  • hang on, you need to pledge to have an opinion. how about grow a brain and join the oath keepers

  • I pledge to fight to make ENGLISH the official language of the United States of America! C'mon YAL,you dropped the ball big time on that one.

  • @in2theoceansarms This is the most important of all.

  • I pledge to live by the Non Aggression Principle -- and I thank the great men and women in this video for standing up for liberty.

  • Great video

  • I pledge to try to be as cool as Jared Fuller hanging out on the GWU campus! NM represent! Great work!

  • So proud of these young, courageous PATRIOTS...I pray they are successful in reaching and getting through to their peers who have allowed the MSM to poison their minds with the Statists' socialist agenda...They have NO IDEA what they are supporting...they have NO IDEA what the loss of liberty would mean for them...for their children...

    God bless these young Americans...our future leaders...

  • I pledge to send this to e1 i can

  • I will sleep better tonight knowing that there is hope with this younger generation! So proud of them!

  • " the price of Liberty is responsibility"...

    something that the people of this country know nothing about these days, everything is the fault of someone else and we are all entitled.

    now if we can get all these people in the Libertarian party we'd have a chance of taking back out government from the demopublicans.

  • I wish this nation had more young people like these. If we don't educate Americans to the level I see here, we will lose our liberty to un-teachable, arrogant senators and congressmen who have forgotten the meaning of honor and integrity. If our politicians would focus on what is good for this nation and not spend all our money working to stay in office we would see statesmen walking the halls of congress, a rare sight these days! Young Americans-support and join Americans for Liberty now!!!

  • What a very cool video, it reasures me that hopefully young adults and teens will realize that this country is going the wrong direction.

    Thank You for posting this.

  • I pledge to send this to my son, his girlfriend and all my friends who have children of age to vote in this coming election!

  • If what you call "civilization" hinges on enslavement and "support" of an inherently evil / predatory class, then you have no right to that civilization. (When society finally does take a "civilized" form, the absurdity of what passes for "civilization" today will be obvious.)

  • ALWAYS !!!!!!!!!!

  • II'm canadian and I want to donate money to Young americans for Liberty, I guess there is no problem with that ?

  • Comment removed

  • I pledge to rate/favorite/comment and spread :)

  • Right on..RESIST OLIGARCHY

  • Nice job, now, get it into the public schools system

  • Well done, fav 5! Too bad you didn't get a larger sample of people to step up to the camera. However, it's still a 1000 times better than the pledge to slavery video by Kutcher and Moore.

    Freedom Forever!

    End the Fed!
