In a news posting on CNN titled "Young People, Don't Vote for Obama" young Republican writer Alex Schriver writes an article in response to Yale sophomore writer Jack Schlossberg's article "Young Voters, Don't Give Up on Obama." In the article he addresses why he thinks young voters should be criticizing President Obama and promoting Mitt Romney for a number of reasons including national debt, unemployment rates, and general lack of change that was promised by Obama's "Yes we can" campaign in 2008. This small back and forth between the young voters demonstrates the youth's involvement and passion about this years election. Very often the "younger crowds" feel lost in the election process, so although some of these articles are a tad biased based on the writer's political views, such articles make the convoluted web of politics a little more easy to sort through. So while both candidates are adamantly working on improving life for seniors and adults, it is equally critical that they put enough emphasis on the issues that the young voters are passionate about as well. Stay tuned!
