Dear fellow Libertarian Longhorns and the Austin libertarian community,
I was surprised to find out a few days ago that I have been nominated for the Students for Liberty “Student of the Year” Award. I feel very honored to be among these other amazing nominees, and I am quite excited to join these nominees at the Students for Liberty International Conference in February for the award ceremony and some wonderful times with other fellow liberty-loving students.
In many ways, this nomination is a reflection of our group and the surrounding community; it has been a great blessing to be involved with the Libertarian Longhorns, the Texas Libertarian Party and Travis County LP, TAG, the Ron Paul movement, and more. I sincerely believe that the Libertarian Longhorns will continue to be at the forefront of libertarian activity in Texas and beyond. As UT-Austin likes to say, what starts here changes the world. That’s what we’re about.
Yours in liberty,
~Norman Horn
