Young Americans for Liberty is a student organization at UC Davis. The organization grew out of the group Students for Ron Paul, and is endorsed by Ron Paul. YAL is a non-profit, bi-partisan club for all people, but bent primarily for those of Libertarian persuasion.

MISSION: To promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy, by means of educational and political activity.

The restoration of habeas corpus? Or, like so many libertarians, does your liberty extend only to the right to earn profit regardless of consequences to others? —CovertProfessor

• While their specifics are not spelled out on their website, they distribute copies of the US Constitution, and their platform includes the anti-search and seizure phrase, "THAT respect for the individual's property is fundamental to a peaceful society;" and the phrase "THAT the individual owns his/her body and is therefore responsible for his/her actions;", which tends to be "we support getting rid of drug laws, but we don't want to look like looneys¹". I know Ron Paul was very much against federal drug laws and the War on Drugs policies, and was pro-habeas corpus for military detainees. Of course, the local chapter may bend from the national org and their origins. -jw
  

• That sounds promising. I'd like to see where most of their efforts lie, however, not just what they say that they support. —CovertProfessor
