How do we motivate these kids for the Nov 2018 election [View all]

Obama won because we got the vote out. If we keep the motivation going and get these kids to act locally (all politics are local) maybe we could get the same result.. Knocking on doors to get people to vote, work at Democratic functions, maybe getting them school credit from teachers for a Civics grade? Let them know if you don't like what's going on, change the politicians..

What 'cha tink??

I think the rest of the population should be half as motivated as these kids. Vinca Feb 2018 #1
