He said that his goal is a long term, educational process for the American people. He wants to empower them with his "Next Gen Rising" campaign in several states. It is about "millennial organizing" and to get them engaged and to participate and vote. He wants to educate people about the impeachment process and broaden their knowledge. Impeachment is not a quick and easy process and the millennials can be empowered and effect change. Good message and good man.

and are registered on rolls
And also educated ahead of time on what to expect is needed to vote
And then vote
Next gen America is focused on climate change which should help youth connect concerns with voting . A lot of untapped voters and most are not stick in the mud MAGAs that so many want to focus on for possible votes

$30 mil ?



(on edit Although I thought he handled himself fairly well. And if he is willing to put his money where his mouth is, then maybe he should not be penalized?

My first questions to him would be: What do you think should be done with our tax system? Do you think that you should have to pay more in taxes?

What is his solution?

We need to vet these candidates. Look at what we got because Republicans did not have the time to vet all of their candidates, especially the one that won.

If we had to choose between Trump and Bannon for President, it would be a terribly difficult decision.

If the House is supposed to be the House of the People, and if the Democratic Party is the Party of the People, the rightful place for the People is in the House of Representatives. It should never be surrendered.

I will gladly support efforts to get younger people involved in civic affairs. Ignoring younger Americans is the tactic of the right. So I'm agin' it.
