Chances are, if you live in Fort Collins, you have likely seen the Alpha Center on College Avenue. Though it may not be obvious from its generic name or unassuming exterior, the Alpha Center is a facility that claims to offer services to pregnant people, specifically to individuals experiencing unplanned pregnancies.
There is nothing remotely freeing about April 2, the day Donald Trump coined “Liberation Day” by signing an executive order implementing tariffs on about 60 countries worldwide. Despite his intentions, the only things being liberated are the bills from our wallets and the success of the stock market.
Over the four years I have been at Colorado State University, I have only voted in one Associated Students of CSU election. Given the recent diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that may be removed from the university without any input from students or the organization meant to represent us, I can confidently say that I won’t be voting in this year's election either.

Here are some of the top picks that should really tickle your fancy.
If you do a simple Google search of Turning Point USA, you would be met by this message on their main page that reads, "TPUSA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to identify, educate, train and organize students to promote freedom."
