Sessions DOJ pot plans will increase younger voter turnout in 2018 [View all]

We have seen in recent elections that the younger voters have been much more active in the off-season elections. Virginia, NJ, etc. But states like California, Colorado, Florida, where the legal pot movement is moving forward have House districts with Republicans that are vulnerable. If the 18-35 year old crowd have another reason (besides the orange turd in the WH) to vote this fall it will be this issue.

Blue Wave 2018!!
