Patriot,

Even though the ideas of socialism are burning through our education system like wildfire, I can show you how to blanket them with a single pencil. 

Let me introduce myself. I am Lawrence Reed, President Emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). Over the years, I’ve learned that a pencil is a great tool for teaching the next generation about economics. 

• Everyone knows what one is, but no single person can make one. 
• They are everywhere because they are so cheap to produce, even though it took thousands of people to create.
• It is a simple device that helps demonstrate several complex ideas on why centrally planned economies will never work.

No one understood this better than FEE’s founder, Leonard Read. In his classic essay, “I, Pencil,” Read beautifully illustrates the marvelous interconnectivity of the marketplace, all told from the viewpoint of a common pencil.

I believe the ideas in this book are so powerful that I will send you a copy of "I, Pencil." if you donate $10 or more to the Foundation of Economic Education this week!

“I, Pencil” is also a great example of the resources we use to educate the next generation through our flagship program, FEE in the Classroom. 

FEE in the Classroom counters socialist indoctrination by teaching young Americans the principles of individual liberty, limited government, and free-market economics.

FEE’s faculty of acclaimed instructors provides compelling lectures, exciting economic experiments, engaging group discussions, Q&As, and educational materials, like “I, Pencil,” in brick-and-mortar and virtual classrooms across the country.

And just like “I, Pencil,” FEE in the Classroom opens the eyes and minds of young people. For many students, they are never able to see the world quite the same again!
 

Your support helps FEE teach the principles of liberty and free markets to the next generation. Even a donation of $100, $50, $25, or just $10 has a HUGE impact. Click below to donate and get your copy of "I, Pencil" >>>

Patriot, I have a long history of using “I, Pencil” to fight socialism.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Empire, I smuggled books across the Iron Curtain (and raised money to support book smuggling) into Eastern European countries such as Poland and even the Soviet Union itself. 

I knew I was risking my liberty or even my life if I was caught.

But I also knew if the people there had any hope of freeing themselves from the shackles of socialism, they needed access to the ideas of liberty and free markets.

I used “I, Pencil” then to keep up the fight against socialism across the world. Now, I’m using this book to fight socialism here in the United States.

My goal is to raise $50,000 by giving away copies of “I, Pencil” to our generous donors. Your gift helps FEE build a future of freedom with the next generation through our programs like FEE in the Classroom. 

I encourage you to donate $10, $25, $50, or more today and get your copy of "I, Pencil." Click here to claim your copy >>>
