Secretaries of state work on joint effort to boost youth vote

[MaineDem]

Top state election officials agreed on Sunday to sponsor a youth voter education summit in the nation's capital next winter, pushing a program aimed at stimulating political participation by a lagging segment of the American electorate.

The National Association of Secretaries of State, meeting in Portland, also prepared to release a survey of its own, in cooperation with the Youth Vote Coalition, that highlights states' efforts to counter young voters' apathy.

I think this is a tremendous idea! We, as Democrats, need to reach out to these young people with a concerted effort to get them on our side.

1. Rock the vote, dammit!

We SERIOUSLY need to get the young vote out and voting. I think the right campaign about all the horrible deeds this aDministration has done, along with encouragement that they can determine this country's future is essential.
