Mobilize the (Youth) Vote
I was reading through your blog and since one of your subjects dealt with politics and the power of the youth vote, you might be interested to view or maybe even post this video on your blog.
As it is, more and more of America's youths are becoming apathetic to the whole election process, as well as with politics and governance in general, so hopefully, a video like this might rile them up and tell them to make a stand for their own future. After all, to paraphrase the saying, the future is what they make of it.
You can check out the video on this site: http://www.mobilizethevote2008.com/
As well as on YouTube through this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4kg514DcTA
Peace!
Interesting video, but I
Interesting video, but I have to point out that you are wrong about youth apathy. All the research and voting results showthat young voters are actually becoming less and less apathetic with each year. Young voter turnout has risen substantially in the past three major election cycles.
