If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people….. is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. – Ronald Reagan
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. – Martin Luther King Jr.
Let us remember that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! – OurLastStand.com
May we remember our fallen heroes, friends, and neighbors that our country lost on that fateful day. May God bless them. – OurLastStand.com
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness. – Declaration of Independance

AKA The Generation Y Conservative
Profession: Marketing
Education: Commercial Art/Graphic Design Associates degree from Antonelli Institute in 2003. Spent two years at Lehigh Carbon Community College earning transferrable credits to go towards Marketing. Transferred to Bloomsburg University for a Bachelors in Marketing but was given the opportunity to turn my internship into a full time position at a marketing firm in Bethlehem, PA.
Interest in Politics: I would say that I was blissfully ignorant of politics until the 2004 election between George Bush and John Kerry. Even someone with a high school education in economics could figure out that Kerry was off the mark but even then I didn’t know exactly which party I belonged to. At one point I even thought that then-Senators Obama and Clinton would make great Presidential candidates. That is, until I actually started looking into things and doing research.
Politics is a drug, once you start following it, you can’t stop. There is no clear side that comes out looking like a hero that will save the Country. People have become complacent with turning a blind eye and instead resorting to voting for the “Lesser of two evils”. It sickened me to think of politics that way; I wanted someone to vote “for” not “against”.
I started my website, The Generation Y Conservative (http://chrisspoliticalthoughts.blogspot.com), back in 2008 as a means to release my steamed emotions. I was quickly picked up as a frequent blogger on Brazen Careerist and linked to on various other sites. I wrote as frequently as possible until August 2009 when I was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer, when I took a 6-month hiatus.
In August of 2010 I jumped into conference calls with fellow Gen Y Conservatives, Eric Estevez and Jerome Hudson, and we quickly recognized the need for a unified front of Conservatism. Our websites on their own were lacking diversity and frequency in posting but together, on one site, we recognized a powerful alliance that would help inform and educate our generation and those to come. I am leaving the Generation Y Conservative website behind for the greater good on Our Last Stand.
