Support Recognition of the Young Democrats at Liberty University

Sign this petition and let Liberty know that you support the First Amendment rights of the Young Democrats on campus!

Liberty University recently chose to disband their Virginia Young Democrats chartered college chapter, citing "The Democratic Party Platform is contrary to the mission of LU and to Christian doctrine," and  "By using LU or Liberty University and Democrat in the name, the two are associated and the goals of both run in opposite directions."

They also cite "The Democratic Party Platform is contrary to the mission of LU and to Christian doctrine (supports abortion, federal funding of abortion, advocates repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotes the "LGBT" agenda, Hate Crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity, socialism, etc).  The candidates this club supports uphold the Platform and implement it. The candidates supported are directly contrary to the mission of LU."

Vice President of Student Affairs, Mark Hine demanded in their disbandment that they "cease using Liberty University's name, including any logo, seal or mark of Liberty University.They are not to be used in any publications, electronic or internet, including but not limited to, any website, Facebook, Twitter or any other such publication."

Show Mark Hine and Liberty University that we stand by the LU Young Democrats and the actions taken by Liberty and their officials are reprehensible and every student deserves a place on college campuses.

Sign this petition and let Liberty know their Young Democrats have your support!
