"Charlie Kirk is a 21-year-old energetic entrepreneur from Lemont, Illinois, who is committed to piercing the left’s stranglehold of the minds of American youth.

Three years ago, he launched Turning Point USA to be a new “clipboard and tennis shoes” grassroots organizing force on college campuses. Today, he is the Executive Director and has 40 staffers, 220 chapters, membership across the nation and affiliates that take their influence to over 1000 campuses.

On campuses, he runs into MoveOn.org, the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood and, most recently, a flood of Hillary for America paid field agents, but he knows and feels he is on to something big.

Turning Point USA’s posters and pamphlets are based on “skepticism of big power by relating it to the Hunger Games, the corruption inherently held in our governmental system in House of Cards, the feudalistic type power struggle that goes on in Game of Thrones.”..."
