13. Are The Young Men And Women Of Parkland Millennials?.....

I'm thinking they are the generation after the millennials. I'm thinking the millennials are a little older and maybe out of college and starting careers and families. I believe we need to work on that group of potential voters. It is too easy for them to be distracted and not take an interest in politics and that they may be more apt to sit out an election. This is also the group that is laden with staggering college loans that they may never get out from under.

We need to make sure that that group realizes that their best interests are at stake in the Nov 2018 election. Especially if they are starting a family - as many political decisions that will be made if the Repugs maintain control of Congress will directly have an impact on their kids and their kids kids.

Absolutely! Thank you and K&R! MineralMan Mar 2018 #1
