If Millenials Vote- We Win

If Millennials Vote- We win.

 The critical elections of 2018 will determine if the Congress can put the brakes on Donald Trump, his allies, and the Koch-Adelson agenda. The question is, will enough people turn out to vote?

According to Pew Research surveys, 2018s will see a record turnout of 18- 34 year olds for a mid term election.  More, 57% of millennials who are registered plan to vote for Democrats and only 37 % for Republicans.  I have no measure of how the decline to state voters will vote. 

Given the enthusiasm of youth for common sense social democratic proposals as shown by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, we can hope that young people will vote left. 

People who are unlikely to vote make up some 50% of the population. 

 If Millennials don’t vote- we lose.

Not for himself/herself.  But for all of his friends on Sesame street. 

We have reached a critical point in this election season and your vote is important- but first you must be registered.  If you are registered- make certain that all your friends on Facebook are also registered.

I , like you, receive up to 6 e mails per day from the Obama campaign asking for money.  This message asks that you contact your friends.

In 2008 the election was close and Obama won.   In 2010 students stayed home and the Tea Party won.  For example, Ohio’s student voter participation dropped from 69 % to 22 %,  Wisconsin’s from 66 % to 19 percent, and Florida’s from 61 % to 19%.

The result was a strong conservative take over of these states and devastating cuts to schools, child care, police protection and social services.  And now Mitt Romney wants to cut Big Bird.

We need a Yes vote on Prop. 30 to fund our schools and universities. http://www.yesonprop30.com

You may be registered, but chances are 20 -40% of your friends are not- or they have moved since the last election and need to re register.  For California residents the final day to register is October 22,2012.
