Young Voters Make The Difference

Young voters are making their voices heard and their influence count in the current American presidential election! Many late teens and young college age kids seem to have become more politically active than in the recent past presidential elections.

The letter, Young Voters Know What's at Stake: Our Future, states young voters are the future key to defeat global warming and to change Washington. The reason these young voters are more politically active is because the president elected to serve in office in 2009 will put policies in place that will critically affect their future. Economy, war, unemployment, educational funds, equal pay for women, minimum wage, and global warming are most of the main issues at hand and of great concern for young voters.

Young voters are aware of climate change and many of them are working together to make the world becoming green a top priority. They know we need a president with the same priority and goal. Many college age voters need help paying for school, want to know they can find a job when they graduate, or need a job that pays a decent wage now. Women are tired of getting paid less than a man, especially since, with high divorce rates, many of them will become single mothers. Young people do not want to witness more of their friends dying in the war, or having have to pay for continued borrowing for the war with Iraq.
Young voters are influencing the outcome of this presidential election with the internet. They are having their voices be heard in mass, through facebook, myspace, and blogs. They are also highly involved in campaigning for their favorite candidate.
