Are Today's Young People Political Game-Changers?

Young people voted in record numbers in 2004, 2006, and in the 2008 primaries. Some pundits have continued to doubt young people's seriousness about participating in policy debates and politics. But from grassroots organizing to GOTV campaigns to direct engagement in their communities, young people have demonstrated their commitment to engaging on the issues and working for positive change. Featured
speakers include Kat Barr, Political Outreach Director of Rock the Vote, Amanda Carpenter, with Townhall.com and David Madland, Director of the American Worker Project, Center for American Progress. This event was moderated by Erica Williams, Policy and Advocacy Manager of Campus Progress.

Young people are game-changers. With alittle history research you can see youth movements changing the course of nations.

Today is one also.

Vast amounts of inexperienced, selfish, misinformed kids and mental-infants elected the smiling mail clerk as the CEO of America.
